    Help with 2012 steering wheel questions

    Sport to GT Steering wheel (2013) I don't have any pics- but I did replace the stock Sport steering wheel with a GT leather wrapped wheel off of eBay. The additional audio buttons that the GT has did not work on my Sport (the volume, station, and mode buttons did work). After the install, I...

    2013 Mazda5 Sport Trip Computer FAIL

    I edited my post to be more clear- I purchased a used Mazda5 steering wheel. Yes, the standard buttons still work (all cruise buttons and radio buttons on the steering wheel), its just that the INFO button on the steering wheel does nothing, and of course has no BlueTooth functionality. The...

    2013 Mazda5 Sport Trip Computer FAIL

    I did this so you don't have to. We didn't feel like we needed the options available in the Touring or Grand Touring, and got a great deal on a 2013 Sport, but I really miss not having a trip computer for gas mileage and distance till empty. It bothers me that you can see that those options...

    Another new Mazda5 owner (so long RAV4!)

    So, we already have 3,000 miles on our Mazda5. Time for the first oil change (can't believe that I'm reading a how-to for this car, when I've been changing the oil in my cars ever since I started driving) and tire rotation. I've been tracking the gas mileage, and am impressed with what it gets...

    Crying over spilled milk

    Thanks everyone for the replies. Thought I would follow up. We were advised to give the car and the product I used some time, and so we did. There is now no detectable milk odor in the car, even on the hotter days with the windows rolled up. The real test might be after a rainy day sometime...

    Crying over spilled milk

    So... the bloom is off of the rose, so to speak. We've had our 2013 Mazda5 since mid-December 2013, and lately, when given the opportunity to drive it (it is my wife's primary car), I instead choose my 1996 Honda Civic. Why, you might ask? We had a 1/2 gallon carton of milk spill its contents...

    Better rear bumper guard or '12+ MZ5?

    I just installed an OEM bumper guard. It seems L shaped enough to me, but then again, I haven't loaded much yet in the cargo area to figure out if it is protective enough. It is definitely better than nothing... I've noticed the Mazda paint scratches very easily. Anyway, here are some before...

    How To: Install a Spoiler on a 2012+ Mazda5 Sport

    Yes, it is a barebones Sport that I'm having lots of fun adding stuff to. Here are a few more pics of the spoiler: I think the spoiler paint matches exactly in any light condition. I'm very happy with it.

    How To: Install a Spoiler on a 2012+ Mazda5 Sport

    I purchased a new spoiler off of eBay from thespoilerstore. I had to specify the color, and it was $119 (shipping included). Arrived 3 days after purchase. I couldn't find any Mazda5 specific instructions on the internet, so thought I'd share since the generic instructions provided with the...

    Anyone installed a Spoiler on a 2012+ Sport?

    Thanks! Yes, shipping was included. That is unfortunate about the earlier models. I've got a quiet and cold Sunday morning, so I'll write a spoiler install post in the 'how-to' section.

    Anyone installed a Spoiler on a 2012+ Sport?

    Done! This took less than an hour, and probably would have been even quicker if I didn't keep second guessing the exact placement of the spoiler. Here is a before pic: And an after pic (drove to the gas station to get a better look at the color match): I'm very pleased with the fit of...

    Anyone installed a Spoiler on a 2012+ Sport?

    I purchased a painted rear spoiler from thespoilerstore on eBay on 12/22, received a shipping notification on 12/23, and it appears to be ready for me on my doorstep today (12/26), which is particularly impressive considering the holiday. I've searched this site, and haven't found any...

    Another new Mazda5 owner (so long RAV4!)

    Greetings! This forum has been very helpful already as I spent quite a bit of time researching our decision to purchase a Mazda5. My wife and I have a 3 year old and a little one on the way, and wanted a little more room than our 2001 RAV4 offered. A full-size minivan (what a misnomer) wasn't...
