    Dang squirrel!!!

    Sadly, this morning a squirrel decided to commit suicide as I was driving to work. As a result, the lower grill on my '07 was damaged. I have looked for a replacement, but the only replacements are billet grills for an '08+. Is there an inexpensive way to fix my problem? Looking at trading...

    Spare Key & Fob Programming for Mazda5

    I have a fob that apparently lost it's program. I was told by Mazda that I had to purchase a new one. I did, but what could make this happen? It didn't go through the wash, I didn't get caught in a down pour. No damage other than normal wear and tear. It started working intermittently and I...

    hopefully my last key questions...

    The reason i'm thinking about changing the key part is that who ever was the original temporary owner of the car beat the key to death. The key wobbles all around and the plastic housing for the key part is spreading apart. I just had to replace the electronic part to the key. I'm not overly...

    hopefully my last key questions...

    I would like to fix the flip out part of my key. Do I need to get a new end cut and programmed or can I purchase a new end and take it apart to put my already cut key in there? Where is the "chip" part of the key? And if I have to purchase a new end and have it cut, can I program the new cut...

    backlighting issue on radio and ac controls

    I have noticed that here recently my radio and ac control panel backlights will surge. They don't dim at all, just get really bright for a very quick moment, and then they go back to normal. Sometimes they will flash multiple times in a row. Sometimes it flashes once then not again for a...

    key battery replaced. now remote doesn't work

    UPDATE... I took the car to Wray Mazda (of which I loathe) and told them what happened. The guy tried to do the ignition/door sequence. It didn't work. He told me that the remote was dead, but that if I purchased one from the parts department that he would program it for free. After reading...

    key battery replaced. now remote doesn't work

    I noticed that the battery in my retarded flip out key was dieing slowly and it stopped working unless i was right on the car and pressed the unlock button multiple times. I went to walmart, took my key apart at the counter, put a brand new battery in it (#1620). Tried to unlock or lock car...

    Wray Mazda Sucks!

    Just in case anyone cares, Wray Mazda will make you wish you didn't own a Mazda! If you take your car in and ask them to do something they will screw you! To being, I traded a perfectly good Protege off for a Mazda 5 (my avitar). I went to look at one, and they practically forced me to take...

    Towing with the 5

    We have an 1100cc 3 seater yamaha waverunner. Battery is currently dead and it needs to be towed from it's old home which is about an hour from my house. It's a bit old, but I guess it works until I get a boat! For now, guess I'll be using the Tribute to tow with.

    Towing with the 5

    I have been toying with the idea of putting the tow bar on the 5 to pull my atv and jetski...at different times of course. I have read that the 5 is not supposed to pull anything really, but it can pull up to like 1200 lbs. I was wondering if I should invest in a universal transmission cooler...

    '06-'07 Owners, how's your 5 doing these days?

    My '07 Touring is doing fantastic! It makes a thump in the front suspension when I hit a bump, but I read a service bulletin about that and I will get around to taking it in. Other than that the only issue I have is that it won't pull my trailer or my wife's horse. But I didn't really buy it...

    biggest problem with my 5 so far...

    So I have been noticing how the front passengers in my '07 5 all have the same complaint...no arm rest. Is there a way to add an arm rest? can i buy an '08 passenger seat w/arm rest and swap the '07 out? will the '08 fabric pattern match the '07 interior fabric pattern?

    "smart" key questions

    When I purchased my 5 used, there was only one key that came with the car. I have been thinking, and now have some questions... 1) The smart key is basically a three button fob with an integrated key. Could the fob off of my 2003 protege, also a three button fob, be programmed to work in...

    Mazda5 vs KIA Rondo comparisons and articles (merged)

    I had a Rondo for a couple days when my mazda5 was getting the due bill completed after I purchased it. I was interested to see what the differences were. Unfortunately I was given a v6 Rondo, so the acceleration comparison wasn't too fair, but the one thing I did notice was that the gas...
