For 2 & 3 above: 2: I had the same problem. After assembly grab the rotating climate dials and pull toward you. They will ‘click’ and the climate control module will snap in. 3: you will need to use a 3rd party skin. Many are free, some are a couple of bucks.

I saw the Tesla Wannabe during my research. Poor design as it will cover the LCD cluster and hazard switch above the radio. For adding this tablet in the car, for me, it transformed the user experience. Before, I was using a iPhone in a ProClip Mazda5 mount (best I’ve used in the Mazda)...

Unfortunately, I don’t believe the AUX port works out of the box. I didn’t try as my phone connects via USB. There are RCA input/outputs on the back of the head unit. Should be easy to wire it to AUX.

The unit I purchased had no such wire. It was literally unplug the old unit, replug the new unit. It receives its data from CAN. There are settings that need to be set to map steering wheel buttons to functions. There were no instructions on how to set the steering wheel controls. However I...

I mounted the GPS antenna behind the clock plastic on the dash. I didn’t do the rear camera. Too much work to get into the hatch. You may need a 1ft USB A extension to reach the aux port area. I don’t see why it wouldn’t run those OBD apps. Good luck with the install!

Looks like the device is back in stock and on sale $126. If you can remove a Mazda5 radio (educate yourself from the YouTubes), you can really modernize the Mazda5. Negatives: Not expecting any support or updates. No practical setup instructions for steering wheel controls (had to figure it...

There are two 8-inch USB-A female dongles that hang off the rear of unit. I routed the dongles down to the gearshift area. From there I plugged in a MFi certified Lightning cable and routed it out the side of the PNRD cover. The second USB port can be used for flash storage, LTE modem, or...

It was this unit on Amazon. Oddly.. no longer available. 🤷‍♂️

I just completed a major infotainment update my 2009 Mazda5 AT Sport. I purchased a cheap Android 11 head unit that included a matching silver front fascia for a stock look. This was the best $140 I’ve spent on this vehicle and modernizes it for 2023 and beyond. Friends and family I’ve shown...

I got 231k on my 2009 Mazda5. Owned since new, I placed a preorder on a LYRIQ. A tour de force in technology, including SuperCruise. I wish it seat 7 instead of 5. I’ll keep the 5 as my ICE car as long as it runs.

Over 190k now No signs of stopping 2009 Mazda5 Sport AT Purchased spanking new $12500 with C4C trade in Most reliable car Ive ever owned. Up in the top 5 cars that Ive owned for fun, reliability, cost effectiveness,usability.. including many VW / Audi / Porsche products

Not cool to decontent features.. Thanks for the heads-up.

I don't think OBD Fusion identifies tire pressure to the corresponding wheel. It identifies a specific TPMS error or if the system is not in a ready state. In my research for this problem, there are specific TPMS tools that exists for Mazda dealers and tire shops which will sync and test the...

170k miles 2009 Mazda5 Sport AT Original owner

WTF? 620 miles have elapsed since I wrote this post. I removed the shiny Mazda upgraded valve cap covers and put the factory grey ones back on. The TPMS error light has not gone on in 620 miles! Will continue to monitor this, but is encouraging and alarming at the same time. The error would...
