I think we have decided on the Touring model (after previously deciding on a Honda Odyssey) but my question is about the MP3 player. Is that standard on the touring or an option? When I test drove on the other day I knew more about the car than the salesperson - very frusterating. The brochure does not elaborate on the MP3 feature either. So any owners out there who have/use the MP3?

Hey all, I'm looking into the 5 and was wondering if anyone has experince with the DVD entertainment system? We want that for our little ones, like thew wireless headphones, but the dealer didn't have any models with the DVD. They said they'd install it, but I think I'd want a model with it from the factory. As for them being hard to come by, I read Mazda expected to sell 4,000-10,000 units the first year. That would make them hard to come buy as I think they've sold like 16,000 so far IIRC.

We have a Touring model and with the sunroof, I think a ceiling mounted DVD system would be too far back. It would make the kids look almost straight up to see the screen and that is with the middle seats all the way back.

Replying to: wuster (Jan 07, 2006 5:45 am) Total cost of the project about CDN$110 Installation $0 I prefer this over an installed system because if you sell the car or have to get rid of the car for whatever reason then the system is gone as well. Secondly, I have two cars so I can move it from one car or the other. Thirdly, if an installed system ever breaksdown I would think it would cost alot to fix. Lastly, once you get to wherever your going, for example a restaurant you can take the portable dvd player with you as well. |

Hi. We're going to get a Mazda5 Touring this weekend. We're thinking about getting the moonroof package, which also includes the 6-cd changer. My question...does the 6-cd changer have an aux or PIE input that I can use for my XM unit? On another note (ha, ha...bad pun) does the Mazda5 come with HD radio? Thanks, Gabe |

I just bought the Touring but the ill-informed dealer did not advise me it lacked MP3 capablility and I am required to buy the option. Has anyone attempted and/or know if it's possible to obtain the MP3 6 cd chgr headunit and install yourself? IS it just plug and play for the MP3 unit when replacing the identical existing unit minus Mp3? I am thinking of going this route i/o using an external jack method.
