    All Weather Mats...Which?

    I am thinking about taking a 3/4" hole saw, drill two holes close together and clean up the intersecting holes with a utility knife to create a slot. Should look clean and be pretty fast too. OO

    Headrest problem

    May I ask what is your height? I'm wodering if that makes a differences for some people. I'm 6'6" and my GF is 5'10" and we have no issues with headrest, armrest, or leg room for that matter. Possiably the headrest hits at an odd places for shorter stature people?

    Maybe New Owner Soon - Questions on build quality

    The B3000 pickup is a Ford Ranger clone. I have a 96 Ranger with 175,000 miles and never any major issues. Had a broken leaf spring and rusted out hangers but that wasn't too hard to fix myself. My dad has an 02' Mazda B2300. I'm curious how much of the truck was designed and built by Mazda...

    Correct, believe he's referring to the previous gen Rav4 (2012 and prior)?

    hitch mounted bicycle racks

    Is their least expensive rack capable of carrying two bikes $529? It seems a bit on the high side considering the Swagman XTC2 preforms quite well for 1/4 the cost. I'll happily put my extra $300 into something else. JMO

    All Weather Mats...Which?

    Called AutoAnything.com a minute ago and asked for 10% off on the Husky Liner set and he was happy to apply the discount. So $143 shipped to my door. Sales rep I spoke with was very helpful (John Eldridge). Highly recommended!

    Bluetooth Pandora Compatability

    Yep, just looked and the Verizon S3 shows its compatibily with Internet Radio and also Displays Song Information where Sprint does not. No idea why it would matter by Carrier but it does. I may try to root and flash a custom ROM just to see if it makes a difference...

    Bluetooth Pandora Compatability

    I have a Sprint Samsung Galazy S3, and I can get it to connect to Bluetooth and play Pandora (or music from my internal library) through the Bluetooth tab on the radio. When I try to use the Pandora tab, I just get a processing icon and it times out and says it can't connect. Mazda's phone...

    Thanks everyone for the info in this thread. I ordered my Curt Hitch on Amazon for $130 on Wednesday. Installed yeterday in about an hour or so.

    How to jack up your CX-5

    $22 on Amazon... I think I'm going to add this to my shopping cart. I usually jack most of my cars from the cross member but the pinch weld adapter would be safer and easier to access. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0050K3P8Y/?tag=m20b7-20

    Question on CX-5 Keys

    Seems to me you are going through a whole lot of trouble to avoid carrying an item that is smaller than a pack of gum. I carry a S&W .380 in a pocket holster in one pocket and a phone in the other. Carrying a small key fob isn't an issue at all for me... but everyone is different I suppose.

    Question on CX-5 Keys

    I think having the keyless entry is a good enough reason to carry the key fob with you. One problem I read is you can't lock the door with the smart key inside the car. You can, however close the door and lock it manually with the metal key and keep the fob inside. You really shouldn't keep...
