Hi,
I just bought a 2014 CX-5 Grand Touring AWD (Black Mica) 8 days ago. I love it, I previously had a 2012 Mazda3 Hatch manual that I loved too, but I need more room. I bought the Grand Touring and did not get the tech package because I would end up paying more over time due to financing than I would if I bought the extras and installed them myself or had the dealership install them. Also they only had the tech package available on in white, I didn't want a white car.
With that being said I want to get the following things for my car, but I don't know which order I should do them in, as in what do you guys think are the most beneficial right away. I also want to know if some of the upgrades, in your experiences, are worth it. I plan on going OEM on all upgrades, here they are in no particular order:
Remote Start (Black Car w/ Black Leather in Texas Summers Yikes)
Navigation (No Cellphone Coverage in West Texas Roaming Charges Yikes)
Advanced Keyless Entry (Love Push Button Start I Already Have Wish I Could Keep Keys in Pocket/Bag Always)
Bi-Xenon HID Headlights With Auto-Leveling (I Live in Deer Country & I Don't Want a Bambi Paint Job All Over My Hood)
Auto-Dimming Mirror With Homelink (Hate My Clunky Garage Door Opener)
What do you guys think? Where can I get these parts the cheapest, and are self installs do-able for a rookie?
I am interested in hearing your opinions, I plan on doing this all over the course of 6-9 months.
