Yes, all you are doing is adding an audio input to your radio. This works with any device with a standard 1/8" audio output.

Thanks. I'm going to rent a car for the trip and fix the 5 when I get back. Better safe than sorry.

Or, maybe I should get THIS instead. It includes all the clutch parts.

I found a bearing at AutoZone: LINK I'm going on a trip and don't have time to replace it. Hopefully it'll last until I can get to it....and won't do any other damage if it goes out. I did put a new belt back on. Maybe I should just leave the belt off?

My A/C started making noise and not working all the time. There's a noise when the A/C is OFF and a somewhat similar noise when it's running. There is cold air when it's working. I took pressure readings and it fluctuates between about 15-45 on the low side when cycling off/on and I think...

I ended up doing a work around. I put a dead fuse in for the room fuse. I soldered wires to it, attached a relay to the ignition circuit and an in line fuse and now at least i can listen to the radio and see my climate control settings on the display. the dome lights work, but only after turning...

Another thought I just had: Could this have happened because we didn't have the flywheel turned or replaced when we had the clutch replaced? I did notice a little shudder when using the clutch.

I think the release arm is shot. I'm guessing this can't be fixed without removing the transmission. Here are some pictures...

I don't think it should be as movable as it is. I put the new slave cylinder on and it can't extend far enough, plus the arm is hitting the transmission housing on the far end. It doesn't appear to be working correctly inside the transmission - either something broken or popped out of place? Crud.

I had the clutch replaced this last spring/summer at a private repair shop that I've used a number of times. A couple days ago, my wife couldn't get the car started and thought the battery was dead. It wasn't. The clutch switch was not being actuated when the clutch pedal was pressed to the...

After market radio? I think that will be your best bet. Crutchfield has decent prices and I think most of their radios include a wiring harness and faceplate.

Crap.. After putting the radio back in, now none of the lights for it and the climate control work. Some of them worked before I took it apart. That stinks.

I just finished this on my 2006 Mazda 5 with 6-CD changer. It worked perfect. Thanks. It sounds great, but the volume is considerably lower when using my phone as the music source through the media button on the Mazda's radio. If I crank my phone's volume and the car volume up all the way...

I bought the car used. I'm not sure if they're aftermarket or OEM heated seats, but with all the paperwork I got when buying the car, it did have the heated/leather seat brochure. Does that mean the dealer sent the new car out to a shop to add the seats before it was sold the first time? The...

I took the radio out. Didn't find any evidence of after-market installations or other gear (alarm, etc) installed. Didn't see any hood pins, or holes where they may have been located. The only extra wires I saw were 2 red wired going down to the center console (by the parking brake) which appear...

I really don't want to just start replacing parts, especially the expensive BCM (which I have found used for just $100 online)...but it may be that I have to do that? Any other suggestions? Thanks.

I finally got to testing fusebox #2. No success at all. None of the fuses removed in that 2nd fusebox took the current draw below 310 mA. The only fuse in the car in either fusebox that drops the current draw below 310 mA is the "Room" fuse in the fusebox under the hood. To keep the computer...

I found this PDF that says that the transistor is a 2SB1321TA, but that part seems to be out of stock everywhere. I did find a possible replacement on eBay - no guarantee, but it may work. HERE is the eBay auction. Mouser (where I buy my electronics from) doesn't have the exact part number in...

1. No, nothing in the OBDII plug, though if it was the car I drive, I'd either get an Ultragauge, or a Bluetooth wireless OBDII transmitter and Torque on my Android phone. 2. I suppose the radio could have been remove and re-installed. I thought about doing the AUX input mod so I can plug...

Thanks for that info. I didn't realize there was a 2nd fusebox, but I thought that since taking out the room fuse caused the current to drop to near zero, I found the culprit. I will check that 2nd fusebox, however. Maybe something off that fusebox will narrow it down a little more. The battery...
