Replying to: coaster (Jul 23, 2005 10:09 am) But I did find this site in Japanese, but easy to use, where you can tune your Mazda 5, etc... with different accessories. Check it out at: http://www.w-tune.com/ You can print out the parts list at the end of the tuning (just try one of the buttons on the top). The roof rack for the Mazda 5 is part #EHOR for example. Unfortunately, you can't get them here in North America as far as I know. I'm interested in the Mazda 5 Thule roof rack, but couldn't find the same roof rack in Thule's web site. Thule doesn't even have any fittings for the Mazda 5 yet. I think it's a special roof rack made specifically by Thule for the Mazda 5. My closest lead is that it looks like the roof carrier for other Mazda vehicles from the Mazda UK site: http://www.mazda.co.uk/buy/accessories/Accessories_Lifestyle.pdf If you guys have any leads on this, please let me know. I'd appreciate it very much. Here's another Mazda 5 accessories list for the UK. I was surprised that sports bumper,etc... in North America are accessories in the UK. But I still want the roof rack...oh well: http://www.mazda.co.uk/sycomax/uploadpool/documents_UK/forecourts/brochures/Accessories_Ma- zda5.pdf |

I was reading an article that said Mazda rushed this to market because of US gas prices being so high. I'll see if I can find it and post a link here. Apparently we were supposed to get them in August when the advertising and accessory pipeline was full. I have to admit I was surprised to see these at the dealer when I hadn't seen any ads for them.

Replying to: frank4cars (Jul 28, 2005 7:17 pm) The dealer said we can order the Mazda 5 all weather mats for $48 (their first quote was $89). They couldn't find the retractable cargo cover part #ICC that we were interested in so decided not to order anything from them yet. Hopefully they'll have more accessories available this August. Thanks for the explanation. |

Looking to connect my Ipod to the Mazda5. Had no joy with the iTrip as Toronto has overpopulated the airwaves with crap. Anyone no the best way to get a line-in on the Mazda 5 or which one of the Denison Ice type products is the best. Thanks.

Replying to: mactavish1 (Aug 02, 2005 7:58 am) Unfortunately it only works on Mazda trucks and it's also expensive. If anyone else has a solution please let us know. The other issue I have is with the stock speakers. They aren't quite up to the quality as the stock speakers in our Mazda6. They offer very little mid range sound and mediocre upper end, low end? don't thing so. I don't know what size the speakers are either, I'm guessing 5 1/4, maybe smaller. I do know they need to be replaced, so if anyone has any info or has already replaced them and can offer advice please post.

Replying to: whipped95 (Aug 02, 2005 6:07 pm) http://www.whatsmyip.org/ipodrx8/ http://www.carplayer.com/whatisit.html I'm also looking and will let you know if I find anything else that doesn't use FM modulation. I'm also thinking there's probably a way to hook up something to the "Media" button on the 5's center console. If you guys have some ideas where to find a service manual for the 5, that'll probably help.

Anybody looking for a moonroof wind deflector, cargo nets, all-weather mats, etc... for the Mazda 5? I found this online site: http://www.mazdastuff.com/directory.cfm?CategoryID=247 I don't know if the site is okay It's about the $4 to $8 over invoice price (see invoice prices at 2006 Mazda MAZDA5 optional equipment at Edmunds). Probably about the same you can get at the dealer if you ask for a discount. My dealer quoted me $48 for all-weather mats, at least there's no shipping cost.

Replying to: robyneil (Aug 02, 2005 7:54 pm) Any luck with the ipod connection. I took my 5 into Futureshop (Canadian equiv to Best Buy) They had a look but couldn't figure how to get a look at the back of the stereo. They thought that one of the Dension ICE links will work (I've heard that the Sony model may work) but neither of us wanted to figure out how to get into the stereo. I may see if a dealer will install one as it's 3 plugs (L+R audio in) and the 6 CD changer cable. Anyone know where they locate the CD changer on the 5 ? Will try a few Japanese site to see if they have figured it out. |

Replying to: mactavish1 (Aug 09, 2005 5:51 am)  ). Have you thought about putting in a mini-itx pc in the 5? I know its a bit 007-bond-flick-fantasy, but I thought it's the cheapest way of getting NAV, DVD, Gaming, MP3, ipod interface, Internet/e-mail, bluetooth, front and rear car-cam, pc, and heat-seeking missiles for less than $1000-$1500...(look into your inner geek...sooo beautiful!!!). * There's a big glove compartment area for 2 mini-itx pc's even a mini keyboard (if you didn't have NAV) * There're are cheap touch screen TFT's for $200-800 (in-dash, on-dash, roof mount) available * There are 2 hidden compartment under the 2nd row seats for peripherals and another mini-itx pc * There are 2 side cubby holes at the cargo area for more peripherals or a much needed security system for this setup. Inspiration: http://www.cartft.com http://www.mini-box.com Back to reality, its more practical to opt for a refurbished fujistu stylistic ST5000 series tablet pc with an otterbox tablet pc case though. You can mount the otterbox to the 5 with an accessory mount: http://www.tabletpc2.com/Review-OtterBoxTabletPcCase-Article020105.htm This way you can take the tablet pc with you anywhere you go (you won't have to keep checking on your 5 every 15 mins). The problem is I don't know yet where to mount the otterbox in the 5. Sorry for the long spiel. Let me know if you have any other inspirations for the Mach 5 (speed racer...speed racer...goooo!!!) Unforuntately, my wife hates it when I call it the Mach 5 ).

mactavish1, here's the alternative but expensive and not as great as a direct connection: Order and have the dealer install the cassette module for the 5's face panel see link below: Cassette Player and Trim Panel 2006 Mazda 5 Then get an iPod cassette type car kit like this one: iPod cassette car kit It's still expensive, but better than FM modulation type car kits. I think this will set you off around $250. I contacted the folks from www.mp3yourcar.com to see if their iPod cd changer interface is compatible with the 5. I'll let you know. |
