    Can you install an aux cable into an '07 and keep the 6 CD?

    Hey guys, I have a few Mazdas right now, and unfortunately my good ole protege5 daily driver kicked the bucket at 207k... I work at Mazda, so I ended up getting a pretty mint '07 Mazda6 cheap. My question is: The car has a 6 CD changer, and I found out eBay has a bunch of plug in aux cables...

    Sorry guys.... My '03.5 decided to unexpectedly kick the bucket at 207k, on Christmas Eve. Thankfully I work sales at a Mazda dealership, the VP and the GM had a mini-meeting about me, and I'm now the proud owner of an '07 Mazda6 Touring with 42k miles as my daily driver to the apex spitter...

    Solution To Flickering Fan Speed 2 Or 3 A/C PART 2

    So I'm another lost soul with AC issues..... I discovered this how-to after years of unsuccessful searching of anyone knowing what I was talking about..... Ran out to my car, pulled the connectors out of the (MELTED) white boot, crimped/solder/RTVed them to the switch.... I HAVE AC...

    Is this the sign of the famous coil packs going bad, or something else?

    Right sorry, Ive been code checking/clearing this whole time. I JUST now forgot them, but they are always the same P0455 and P0300 (I think those are them... They are written down somewhere.) UPDATE: Theres a pending evap code, but we were able to get it to pass emissions... (BTW, I DID NOT...

    Hey guys, I'm that new guy who recently bought a P5 as my daily driver. Needless to say I drive my car pretty hard. I take care of it, but I do like to find redline/etc. It has 156k, I bought about 8 months ago with 144k. Its been taken care of before I got it, It always got its tune-ups...

    Any Protege5's with 15x7 +30ish wheels? (pics?)

    I found one thread thats old, and not much else on the internet... But I have my eye on some Mazdaspeed wheels in a 15x7 +33 size. The price is right that I kinda wanna have some fun and get them, but I dont know what to really expect from getting such a small wheel. Maybe its not worth it...

    Just picked up a p5 daily driver for the mazda racecar...

    Interesting... Anyone have a writeup on how to install? Im not yet familiar with the p5 layout, so I dont know where this installs in general. Is custom fab work required, or do you just pull some nipples off of the TB? Cant tell if trolling... This car is the daily driver- Coilovers do not...

    Hey everyone! zackmac - As far as coilovers go, that was a big no from the beginning. I have them on the other car and its fine for a weekend thing, but I love coming back to something kinda "squishy" when I get tired of riding on rocks. I'll def look into Tokicos and some kinda spring. I had...

    Just picked up a p5 daily driver for the mazda racecar...

    Hey guys! I'm just looking for a new home to join for all my p5 info. (hi) Few months back I picked up a clean 140k '03 black/black/5spd from a close friend as a new daily driver. I've actually REALLY wanted a p5 since they came out, so it's kind of a big deal to have this car. My stable is...
