I recently completely gutted and upgraded my 2014 CX-5 system and no longer use these. 3x Polk Audio DB351 speakers that were pulled at out my dash. They are in perfect working order. Speaker wire is soldered to the terminals, this can be unsoldered easily or you can just tap into the wire. I...

I have a 14 Cx5 in gray. Paint is ******* horrible. Like, never buy a mazda again bad.

So I tried to take the dive today and see about bypassing the bose amp. I really don't think the "interconnects" excel file is correct for the bose system. The wire colors and plug don't seem to match what the bose amp has.

Sooo....how do you like it?

It's not just a firmware update it's a physical module replacement. http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123847299-Service-Bulletin-FIX-USB-playback-and-SMS-Bluetooth!!!

I'm not sure what paint combo I have. 2014 Grey with Bose. But the paint is ******* terrible. Scratches and chips and the slightest bump, almost bad enough to recommend never buying another Mazda.

Thanks for the reply, but I want to address some of the concerns and work though/keep thinking about the plan before I start cutting and splicing wires. And the BOSE amp would still be getting a full range single from the head unit. Though it would be at some level of reduced strength. True...

Final check before I start my install: 2014 w/BOSE & trying to keep full HU function GOAL: Keep all BOSE head unit, steering wheel controls, backup camera, USB & AUX In that goal is also to keep the center channel processing that BOSE provides. This post is an extension of one I made a while...

I've had a hell of a time getting my dealership to even recognize that there was an TSB out for the car. At my 70k service I made it a point to mention it when I scheduled the service, when I dropped off the car I brought a copy of the TBS with me, and then when I picked and asked about it they...

I had my 60k mile service the other day and went to talk to them about this and they would not even look at it because my Note 2 is not on the list of compatible phones. Anyone else had a dealership tell them that?

Thank you! http://www.mazdapartsdepartment.com/ had the listed at $44 each. $8 is much better.

I'm looking to build dash pods to fit some larger than 3.5 in speakers in all the factory areas and want to get a backup set of speaker grills to practice on. I've seen some sites selling them for $44 a piece, is that the best Ill find?

The mic is connected to the Amp. At least thatch what the wiring diagram says, at least the actual mic it self it not connected to the head unit. You are right that it could be the controls. I've already replaced all 3 of the dash speakers with Polk db351's. Home audio is my hobby, so I have a...

The more I think about this, the more I think I realize some of the additional steps/difficulties. The center channel and rear d-pillar signal probably is dictated by the Bose amp So If you remove the any of the the inputs from the head unit side. So if you wanted to let the Bose amp power...

I don't think it's the AudioPilot Mic because those look to originate at the Bose amp and not the Head unit. Though my center speaker works, CenterPoint has never been able to be activated on my 14. But that would be related to the center speaker. I guess once I undertake my build I'll snip the...

No, I think you are understanding what I said properly and corrected it. So the Bose head unit sends low level signal, thanks for correcting my understanding. That's actually makes things easier I think. Any idea what pins 1J and 1T are for? There is also a shared shield wire of some sort...

I'm not sure about that. RCA's are 1 copper conducting cable, wrapped in 1 copper shielding cable. The wiring diagrams don't show anything that makes me think you can just put a RCA end on it and have your interconnect ready to connect into your amp. Has anyone tried turning these into RCAs...

Hello, like many of us I want to upgrade my stereo in my Bose equipped CX-5. I personally do not want to change the head unit. From reading and searching many threads here and other places, tapping the speaker wires after the Bose amp will yield mixed results at best and still retain all the...

I'm looking to upgrade my dash speakers on my 2014 CX-5 with Bose. I know the dash fits 3.5 inch speakers just fine, but has anyone tried to fit 4 inch speakers? From the few pictures I've seen of people who have installed new speakers, its also looks like there is a big of open space that might...

I bought mine use with 51k so I'm not sure it has much more room to break in. :(
