Oh man, I hope this isn't the case for you! My wife's was upgraded/fixed, and while better, it still wasn't what he hoped. The USB media was still so slow with a lot of music on the stick. We ultimately just gave up on the vehicle, and traded it in. Good luck.

Hmm. That doesn't make sense to me. I'll have to look at my wife's. She has factory nav, so no separate radio controls. The shifter seems to be plenty far away from the radio are that the panels wouldn't impact each other. Thanks for the tip though, I will take a look.

Same here.

My wife has seen a big improvement since the replacement, not just with audio, but the cell call quality as well. It was horrible before. Barely usable. But much better now, which is what I figured. This one BT module controls a lot in these cars.

What have folks results been with this BT module replacement? My wife's car is having it done as an out of warranty courtesy by Mazda (I had to make quite a stink to get them to cover it) on Thursday. I've read mixed results. What about the overall BT quality with phone calls? Will this...

Yup, sure is but it's a great box.

Yup. I have a Yakima Carbonite 16. 47 lbs. Read for yourself https://www.yakima.com/skybox-16-carbonite

Well, in my case, skis. I just can't fit them in the car when mu wife takes the kids. So she needs the roof box (50 pounds) and 5 pairs of skis, about 12 pounds a piece. So just over a 100 pounds.

Thanks. I'm having a hard time figuring out how to get the trim plate off. I don't want to break it. Can you help me out? Thanks

Oh. Bummer. Thanks.

I know this is an old thread, but did you ever get this solved? M wife's 2014 GT has the same issue. Thanks

I really think it's the cross bars that have the 100 pound limit not the rails. All the documentation I see, when I read the 100 pound limit, is noted with the cross bar description.

So he's saying it is the rails as well, but when I read how the description is worded on the mazda accessory site, it's the cross bars that seem to have the 100 pound designation in their description... To your question on what I would use, I was thinking of not using the mazda cross bars, but...

I posted this within another thread, but in hindsight, it was kind of a highjack, and I don't think it was getting seen. So I'll post a new thread to keep the topic focused...here goes... I've been trying to figure this out for my wife's new to her 2014 GT AWD. I've read a bunch of threads and...

I ordered one from that same ebay seller. Should be here tomorrow. I saw that setup in a CX-9 we didn't buy and it was awesome. The best I've ever seen and really protects the cargo area.
