    Mounting a 22-inch 1080p monitor in the Mazda5

    Thanks, hadn't thought about seat positioning. I rarely sit in the second or third rows, but sitting in the second row last night I realized that 22" may be too big for reasonable visibility...I think I need to look for a 19"-inch class monitor or smaller. I'm having a hard time finding a...

    Mounting a 22-inch 1080p monitor in the Mazda5

    Has anyone seen a largish computer monitor mounted in a car before? I'm thinking of combining this monitor (<10 lbs. and runs off 12V, consumes max 36W) with a cheap VESA mount, a DIY headrest-camera-mount, and an HDMI media player (extremely lightweight, runs off 12V, consumes max 24W). The...

    Mazda5: Prices paid and related questions

    I have the "out the door" price too and got a fax this evening with numbers that fit. Salesman says it's not a program/demo car--he's offered similar pricing on all of their in-stock 5's. Seems like a good deal and the time is just about right for a new car for us, not to mention the zero-down...

    Mazda5: Prices paid and related questions

    Price too good to be true? Wasn't sure if I should put this in the "Price Paid" thread but we haven't bought the car yet so here goes... Shopping for a 2008 Mazda5 via e-mails with dealers. Found a dealer with several Sport Auto trim models with only Pop. Equip. Package as the option, puts...

    Which one is right for me?

    This is very true. We just completed a round trip of ~600 miles each way over a 4-day weekend in a 2000 VW Golf with our 4-mo. old son and almost-4-year old daughter. No real cargo problems (kids' footwell space accommodated overnight bags) though we have a eschewed the standard "SUV Stroller"...

    2006 Touring: Foglights standard?

    Out of all of the Mazda5's listed as "Touring" trim in the entire U.S. on cars.com, only two or three are actually Touring trim. Conversely, there were several listed as "Sport" with pictures that showed fog lights, mirror covers, and auto climate control. It seems that dealers don't know much...

    2006 Touring: Foglights standard?

    I'm shopping for a used Touring, and have come across several at dealers (browsing via cars.com) that are supposedly Touring models, but which show photos with blanks in the foglight areas. Edmunds.com shows foglights as standard on 2006 Touring models but I wanted to confirm with some actual...
