I just noticed today that when I have the radio playing without running other accessories such as GPS, DVD, TV, Web Browser, etc the Band (AM/FM) along with the Radio Frequency displays in the Dashboard Screen.

I just happened to see torquelover had asked a question about if the display in the dash still works. It does display things, but different things than it did with the factory radio. For example when you have the radio on, instead of being a redundant display of the radio station it displays...

Scangauge E Install Information Taunies, Great job on finding a location to allow that Scangauge E to look factory installed. I have a 2013 sport so don't have any switches in use but thought when I looked up from below the dash saw some wires leading to the back of one of the false buttons...

If anyone decides to tackle this (it is actually really easy as long as you take a little time prepping), Another trick I learned is to mark several spot from the roll bend above the fold along the rocker panel with pieces of tape the same distance out from the bend about 6" inches or so apart...

I did this to my 2013 just this last Spring (over 6,000 miles ago) but I used a can of Rust Control Satin Black (from Walmart; about $3) and some very wide Blue Painters tape to get a straight line that was better than the factory line and the paint is thicker and covers better than the factory...

I have a 2013 Mazda 5 with 31,000 miles, I drive almost exclusively highway miles, live in the middle of Indiana so there are no hills or curves. I have my tires rotated and balanced every 6,000 miles (which is about every 12 weeks for me). The inward facing ring of tread pattern on each of...

This is probably the best, cheapest, and easiest mod you can do to your Mazda 5 to gain increased functionality. I don't understand why that little piece of plastic would have been protruding on the back side of the cover that prevents you from extending and locking the wiper to be able to...

Thank You microvan5! I did some more investigation and found on mine I pry outward on the two sides and I can pull the trim off the pivot piece and you were correct the rest of the wiper arm was designed to raise out and lock into place for washing, drying, scraping and brushing the rear...

Has anyone found a replacement Wiper blade arm for the Mazda 5 that is the correct size (12" blade) that allows you to Raise the blade away from the window and lock it in place. Here is a picture of all the farther that the 2013 Mazda 5 wiper arm will pull out, it doesn't come out far enough to...

I ended up trying several times to get the lens off from the outside and was afraid with the force required to take a peek from the inside since I needed to be in there anyway to install the Backup camera for my new touchscreen I installled, it was a breeze removing the wire connection and...

I ordered the Stereo from the link I provided earlier in this thread, it was plug and play, unplug the factory stereo and plug in the new one, the CanBus Adapter allows the steering wheel controls to still work, when you put the car in reverse the Sound mutes and the Infared Backup (Night...

I am in agreement with JPX, I also would rather take the whole panel off the inside of the hatch like you used to be able to due with the previous gen to change the license Plate light bulbs, I shined my flashlight through the access to change the backup lights and on my 2013 it only looks like...

I wasn't sure if I should post in "Accessories & Appearance" or "Audio & Electronics"? This is on a 2013 Mazda 5. I ordered a set of inexpensive LED Bulbs off eBay to replace Interior and License Plate Bulbs, everything went well until I got to the License Plate Bulbs. The owners manual says...

I was wondering if anyone has ordered anything from the website http://www.cnbuynet.com/mazda-5cx5-gps-c-201_287.html and what your experiences were, appears to be a direct ship from China. They appear to have the same radio that Vasy installed and also another one that looks like it but has a...

I have been wanting to know that if you replace your incandescent with the LED lights will they still slowly dim down like the originals before they go off (which is kind of cool) or do the LED's not support dimming?

I look the look of the Vasy and MrPerception installed radios, very clean and very factory looking! Thanks Vasy for your videos! Does the RDS (Radio Data System) display Stations Call Letters, Name of Song, and Artist/Band Name? GPS System: Does it have Lane Guidance? (Stand alone TomTom...

Gethershredded, Looks like I am looking at a Negative, except for mine being a Sport instead of GT and your Bamboo Roof Rack and Eyelids. Where did you get the eyelids? How are those applied; Plasitic Dip, Adhesive Sticker or some other method?

Below is a Corner view of the whole car. I am really happy with the change it made on the front, I never really liked the raw black textured plastic with the toothless smile look. I removed the front, and the Grill insert, and both fog light surrounds and took them to a local body shop, they...

Has anyone installed or considered installing a Mazda Bose Spare Wheel Sub Woofer in the Mazda 5? The unit I am referring to mounts inside the Spare Tire and was/is available on the Mazda 6 and Mazda 3 (hatch versions), as well as some other make cars such as the Nisan Rogue, and some...
