    Post Pics of your Aftermarket Mazda5 Stereo Setups

    Couldn't find an exclusive thread for this and since our CD changer is broken, going to replace with aftermarket double din something. Most likely just CD player w/bluetooth, USB, aux jack etc for us. Crutchfield has a few good choices for just $150...post pics of your aftermarket setups. Thanks.

    Real 30000 mile maintenance

    Just wondering what you would really NEED to do at a 30000 mile check. I know the dealer has a list a mile long and a price tag a mile high. Some of the checks they do are legit I just have a hard time believing their recommendations. Thanks for any info.

    07 or 08 wheels?

    Just want to get some opinions. We just got an 07 about 6 weeks ago and have decided to get an 08...long story. Nothing wrong with the 07, we love it. I'm thinking I like the 07 wheels better and am going to ask the dealer if we can swap. I'd rather get aftermarket but can't swing that now...
