    Sliding Door Lock Actuator Replacement

    I'm planning to change my actuators. Or actually I tried, following these instructions, but when I got to the point where I should pull the plastic door panel out, I just wasn't sure how it can be done without breaking anything. It flexes so much without coming off that I'm afraid I'll snap...

    Hulp gevraagd?

    Hi mero, you probably mean Pioneer part CA-R-PI.136: http://www.pioneer.eu/eur/products/25/38/18211/CA-R-PI.136/index.html? What 3 wires are you talking about?

    2011 Volkswagen Touran

    I wish I could have the Touran's 2nd row in my M5, there's three regular seats (ok middle one is a bit slimmer) and you can easily fit a child seat in the middle. The 2011 looks kinda bland though. The old Touran looks already very bland (one of the reasons we have a M5 :) ) and that front...

    1st time in snow/slush w/ my M5

    It's going to be below zero degrees celsius here next week. I'm eagerly waiting for some proper snow and ice so I can test if the DSC works in our 5. We got the car this year and I haven't seen DSC light up once, so I don't really know if it works at all :)

    Steering shaking when apply brakes...

    I'm fairly sure I read it in the manual... or did I? I need to check, but when we got our 5, the 'auto full open/close' function wasn't working on one of the passenger windows, and doing that reset fixed it. Edit: Hmm ok it says in the manual that you need to open the windows fully, then pull...

    Mazda 5 camber problem

    Note that usually little negative camber isn't a problem, it's the tire toe-in that eats the tires.

    FINALLY DONE!!! ...for now.

    Thanks for this thread, I managed to install back-up camera on my 5! (yippy) Special thanks for the pics! Ohh, getting the cable through the rear hatch was a pain. I finally got it by pushing a wire cover from a bicycle through first. Then taped the cable to the wire cover and pulled it...
