    Ground Loop Filter Install in Mazda5 GT + Nav

    I have the same problem with listening to my portable DVD player while being powered by the 12V socket. Is this considered a defect? Are there other options out there? Thanks!

    How-To: Replace Mazda5 Rear Wiper Blade

    As requested, pictures! I am so glad there is a forum to cover this issue, since the Mazda5 user manual skipped an important step: Taking off the plastic cover over the axle mentioned in diogenes's post. I was befuddled by my inability to raise the wiper arm without that step. Attached below...

    Where do You Stow Your Emergency Gear?

    I put the Mazda emergency kit in the second row seat, underneath the bottom cushion. Baby wipes, towels, and cleaning agent under the trunk floor area.

    choosing the trim: is it worth the $$$?

    Howdy, I assume you are looking at a 2008 Mazda5 Touring vs Grand Touring. If you go on Mazda's website, you can compare the difference. To me, the price difference between Touring and Grand Touring is a bargain for what you get. The major selling points are bluetooth, leather, and HID self...

    Cargo cover doesn't retract

    I had the exact same problem after receiving my online purchase. Simply drop by your local Mazda dealership, and they will replace it within the 12 month time frame. Thugus.

    Auto Mode: A/C all the Time?

    Here in sunny California, I notice that with Aut Climate control, at a given temperature setting (68 degrees), it modulates the duration between AC on (to cool off) and AC off (keep constant temp). It was odd at first to feel alternating cold air then ambient breeze from the front vents...

    How-To soundproof your Mazda5

    Should be the same sound insulation. There should be no difference between 2007 and 2008 in regards to sound insulation. It is no $60k luxury cruiser, but neither is it a stripped track car. I would say it is on par with Honda Civic in terms of noise. The major differences for 2008 model are...

    2008 Mazda5 Coin holder modification done.

    G22c-55-225 I believe it is G22C-55-225. Unless you have special connection, I think the site I ordered them from have the coin holders for reasonable price. http://www.trademotion.com/partlocator/index.cfm?action=MorePartInfo&PartID=321828&siteid=214264&catalogid=4010&tab=2 And yes, I...

    2008 Mazda5 Coin holder modification done.

    It is for Mazda5. Yes, it is for Mazda5 also, though it is usually marketed for Mazda3. It fits perfect in that space with the clip-on tabs. My wife assured me the coins stayed in place, though our driveway isn't steep nor do we drag race the car, so who knows... I think it is more of the...

    2008 Mazda5 Coin holder modification done.

    My wife requested the first mod to the car: coin holders. For some reason, Mazda USA didn't think Mazda5 owners would have spare coins around the car. I order the parts online, pull the lower panel off, and replaced the 3 plastic placeholders. I was a bit surprise that the coin holders...

    How-To soundproof your Mazda5

    Thanks for the clarification. I think I may have said it incorrectly about 'fill the cavity'. What I meant to say was 'fill the opening hole to the cavity'. From what you have mentioned, you do cover the holes with the material, such that the cavity is complete enclosed. I have read...
