    Metra announces single and double din install kits for CX-5

    I also have the sport model ad it's definitely the right adaptor. What's he's probably confused on is where to hook up the blue wire; you don't just match it up to another blue wire. This can confuse some less experienced installers. At any rate, just hook it up to an ignition source. The bose...

    Metra announces single and double din install kits for CX-5

    That seems expensive and also isn't the metra one. Notice the finish on the dash kit part; looks more like rough ABS than the nice smooth, anti-scratch finish of the metra that matches the interior perfectly. I got mine for $22 shipped and 20ish shipped for the antenna adaptor and wire harness...

    Metra announces single and double din install kits for CX-5

    Okay, I got the kit in and installed! Yes, use the Honda antenna adaptor. The only thing is, you need to hook thhe blue wire on it that powers the antenna to an ignition source (so te red wire on the wire adaptor). Neither of the blue wires on the wire harness adaptor powered it but works great...

    Metra announces single and double din install kits for CX-5

    I got it from sonicelectronix who shipped it out today. They were the site recommended by Metra. I called them a couple of days ago to see if it was in stock and it wasn't but the customer service rep was great; he said they expected one (and only one!) in stock today and could place the order...

    News on CX-5 Dash Kit?

    Yep, talked to a Metra rep today who said the same, which is what I figured. Just upset that the other company specifically said they had them in stock and had actually shipped them; it was the only reason I paid their high shipping and handling. I would've understood if they had told me they...

    News on CX-5 Dash Kit?

    Just so everyone knows, I placed an order with autotoys right when it was listed there, pretty much. I emailed them to ask if it was actually in stock or just listed in anticipation of getting it in stock and they told me they had them. Then today, they emailed me and told me they were sold out...

    Question for your audio experts

    Hey, mind showing off your radio install and sharing how much it cost for the custom trim kit to get it to fit? I'm still trying to figure out if I want to wait for one of the companies to come out with something to fit an aftermarket radio or build it myself. Thanks!

    Ipod question

    Does it (the ipod) have the newest firmware loaded to it?

    Ipod question

    The shuffle itself doesn't have a menu, per se. The new ones, however, can have multiple playlists and you can pick which one you want to play from and that sort of thing

    Ipod question

    Huh? You don't need a dock conector; just USB, which the shuffle has, obviously. OP: Yes, it works; I just verified

    iPod Controls

    Not sure there is :( I always disconnect my ipod, start playing what I want on there, and plug it back in. Sucks, but yeah

    Mazda CX5 navigation System. can i replace for a garmin

    ....yeeeeah. Not even close. Your ONLY option is buying a gps like you see on people's windshields. You could also buy an aftermarket radio with a GPS built in but, at this time, thhere's no company making a kit to mount a radio in our vehicles
