When my car refused to start, and it wasn't the battery or starter, I had it towed to my mechanic who informed me that my AC compressor was dead and siezed up (or something like that), which led to it preventing the engine from turning. If he removes the belt, I can start it up and drive it...

Ok guys, someone give it to me straight. I've asked variations of this question on other forums, and can't seem to get a straight answer. I own an 05 Mazda3i, I wanted to replace my headunit to add some bluetooth support, and every option I'm finding requires losing the function of that little...

Exploring options to expand the audio capability of my 05 Mazda3i. My wife drives an 07 Mazda5 with the Media button the headunit, so I was able to wire up a cheap aux plug and mount it in the dash, but the older mazda3, the unit is the older kind, the ones with the Tape/MD and Sat button, but...

Hey everyone! Just wanted to introduce myself to this side of the forum. I used to spend a bit of time on the Mazda5 section since my wife drives one of those as our family car, but I've been stuck driving a 2001 Sentra as my daily driver for the last 12 years. Unfortunately, I lost the Nissan...

Mirror cracked, housing is ok (some scuffs and crack that is hard to see) but the glass pieces fell right out. I've replaced the passenger side mirror once, it was a royal pain to get the little plastic housing with the speaker off and not break off any plastic tabs that hold it in, so I'd...

I have the Thule rail system for this vehicle, and have borrowed roof boxes in the past. I was thinking of getting my own, but I don't know where I would store this big box when not using it (very crowded garage in a rental house). So I am interested in the idea of the roof bags instead- you...

I guess you could chalk this up to bad luck, but I've owned many vehicles in my day and never had as many tire problems with one car as I do with my Mazda5. I was already aware of the negative camber issue that prematurely wears out the rear tires- I did my research and knew that before buying...

AuxMod is in stock again, I see... very excited after waiting for so long! (I have an 07 Mazda 5, the model right before aux inputs were standard... and FM transmitters are KILLING me!) But apparently GROM is now having a sale on their aux input for 02-08 Mazdas, and the sale price is cheaper...

I'll be honest, when I first brought this car home and showed my wife the "trunk" space and the 2-seats-per-row layout (Heck, my old '92 Ford Taurus sedan had 6 seats), we weren't sure this vehicle would work for us. But I must admit- I've been really pleasantly surprised! This vehicle is a lot...

Is there a way to activate the dome light over the rear seats from the front? I've got kids in the back who often ask to see something temporarily in the back, and the only way I've found to do it is to open my door for a moment (not a good idea when driving)! Is there a switch/button/etc that...

Ok folks, it appears we're still getting used to driving a slightly longer vehicle (previous vehicles were compact cars)... this morning a family member backed into a tree and left this little souvenir on the back: (note- picture is taken with the rear hatch open, the door IS still...

My used Mazda5 came without floor mats in the front. I didn't realize when I purchased the vehicle, because the rear floor mats were bundled up in the back seats. Does anyone have a set of OE floor mats? Perhaps someone just upgraded to an aftermarket one and would like to find a good home for...

Hey guys, the 5 I picked up used had all the floor mats bundled up in the back seats (looks like they had them shampooed, that's nice of them!). I went to put them all in the right places before we go on a little family trip, and lo and behold the front ones are MISSING! Since I picked it up...

I know this is a tall order, but I feel like it *can* be done! We bought a "baby trend" brand sit and stand stroller, thinking that is most likely to fit behind the third row of seats (we usually leave one seat in the back up at least), and part of it juts out just too much to allow the door to...

After finding ORSracks on this forum and speaking with their excellent and helpful staff, I decided to order a Thule Podium 460 system from them. Turns out they're backordered until the end of August, which means I'd get my rack WHEN THE SUMMER IS PRACTICALLY OVER and my kids are already going...

So, I saw some pics somewhere on this thread that behind the factory CD stereo, if you don't have the tape deck option, there is an empty tape-deck-sized hole behind the faceplate. I'm wondering, has anyone ever tried to utilize that space and make a little shelf to throw things like a cell...

not sure if this is the most appropriate place to ask such a question, but I'm looking into adding more space to our 5 for long trips (or to the airport), and this forum has been so helpful so far. What do you guys think of roof bags versus boxes for luggage? I like the idea of being able to...

Why are the messages on this thread appearing in reverse order (or is that just me)?

So, I purchased a used 07 Mazda5 in black this passed week. Today, only a few days later, a runaway shopping cart nearly took off my passenger mirror in a parking lot. I say nearly because it IS physically still attached, however the glass and whatever it is that the glass is attached to are...
