Thank you!!! This is exactly the mod I was talking about!! (thumb) ps - looking forward to your how to!

Hey all, Love my CX-5, hate the rear lighting. Every time I grab groceries in the evening, I can barelly see what I'm grabbing out of the cargo area, tired of it and looking for solutions. I remember seeing one post where there was an LED tube (I think?) that was placed around the interior door...

Hey BG, Question regarding this, don't I need the blue and blue/white cables in their original position of the Metra adapter? My headunit has matching blue and blue/white cables that need to be connected to these. I guess one option would be to buy an additional Metra adapter and remove those 2...

Any update??

Hey guys, I'm at the end of the install on an aftermarket head unit and had a few questions on installing the ASWC-1 in the CX-5. For those who have installed it successfully, did you get the call pick up/end call buttons working or only the audio buttons? Also, on the install instructions from...

Hey guys, So I'm installing a new head unit tomorrow and the one thing I'm a bit bummed about is the fact that I'll be losing the USB in the armrest. I was randomly browsing the Axxess website while getting instructions for the ASWC, and came accross this...

Hey guys, just an update on how I managed to get the filter off. I didn't end up going to the dealership, I really didn't want the filter to beat me. So I ended up going to PartSource and picked up a Fram Filter Wrench (FM101, size 65-67mm). It fit the OEM filter very snug. It was still very...

I don't know about you guys, but I'm now at the point to do my first CX-5 oil change. I can't for the life of me get the oil filter off. I couldn't find one of those wrench plastic covers that fit the tiny Mazda filter. I tried buying one of those rubber strap tools, no luck. The metal filter...

Hey guys, I've been having this EXACT same issue. I'm in Ottawa, and the weather has been fairly mild, above 5C for the passed few weeks but have had these rough starts. Like most of you, the issue occurs on an inconsistent basis. There doesn't appear to be a pattern whatsoever. Mine is a 2013...

Hey nizzy, I was looking at TreyP's suggestion of www.crutchfield.ca (I'm in Canada and Amazon.com won't ship these over here) to try to find the similar set, and they note that you need to re-drill the mounting screw holes? You were able to just splice the factory wiring, attach it to the Polk...

Hm this has helped a bit, but I still find there's quite a bit of grainyness. I don't know, maybe the quality of the stock basic speakers are just very poor compared to what I've been used to in my previous cars. I guess my next question would be, is it at all possible to upgrade the speakers...

Hi guys, I was wondering if someone could tell me if I actually have an issue with the stock sound system currently in my brand new GX. I have my ipod hooked up to the USB, and the files are very high quality, sound great in my other car but on the GX as soon as I raise the volume to about 30...
