Don't want to pay the price for the oem foglights - anyone had experience with adding aftermarket foglights? There is a ebay foglight kit for M5 kit that's about $60, there are various Hella foglights from $40-$600 - anyone have these installed? thanks

| I picked up my new Mazda5 and ordered the rear bumper step plate. The Parts Dept has told me that it is on "Quality Hold" or something like that with no information as to when or if it will be available. Has anyone had any problems with their step plate -- coming loose, cracking, whatever? | |

Sand inside, not black outside and no nav, dvd or sat. Fantastic! Usualy dealers stumble over each other trying to sell a car, and look at me....

Replying to: pi_man (Aug 21, 2009 12:38 pm) a new one but doesn't know when it's going to come in due to the hold you were told. I think they got a batch with bad adhesive. |

I found this picture on OC Mazda (Orange County)  Here is the page: link title Somewhere this rack exists. Where can I find it? The crossbars or the load may interfere with the moonroof, but I don't care. I've seen a MZ5 with a regular rack sold by Mazda and a cargo box and it looked grotesque. There was a huge gap or space between the box and the car's roof.

Replying to: athenasius (Sep 09, 2009 8:56 pm) Maybe the rack in the picture is considered too flimsy for the typical US use. The fact that I would have to modify the vehicle would not stop me from getting this one. That is as long as I do not have to drill holes and use a welding tool. I'm thinking that the rack is easier to find then the black inserts. With the traction control... Yeah, who needs some? This car barely moves as it is... Yeah  . I'm thinking they try to keep the price as low as possible. They may not have the money to develop such a system, although ESC is coming to 2010 and that system can be employed to do TC, too. now going all over the field.... I read the manual about Bluetooth and it says that you can make calls by dictating the phone number to dial. That's great! Now I have to learn all my phone numbers? My phone has voice commands. I can tell it to call somebody in the "Contacts" list. Can I use that feature over this BT system? It works with a BT headset (UFO). Or, can I start the phone call with the hand set (phone) and then move the conversation to the BT in the car? I mean I want to buy a GT for the leather seats only (my wife thinks they're easier to maintain). I was getting happy at the BT, but it seems to be useless. And... does anybody know where I can get an electrical diagram for the car? I intend to put a PC inside, so I will remove the head unit (any takers?). It would be nice to be able to route the steering controls to the computer. I can dig and discover where the wires go.. but....
