where is this grommet on the firewall which allows you to put the cable through? I am thinking of installing both the XM and and Amplifier and would like to know where is the best place to get through the firewall.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I installed my Delphi Roady XT and connected it via the Aux Mod but now I get a horrendous amount of line noise. Has anyone found a good inline supressor that uses the cigarette lighter?

Has anyone purchased a Mazda5 with the DVD system installed? My wife and I really liked the M5. We have a van with a DVD player in it and will not buy another vehicle without one, but I noticed it's a dealer installed option on the Mazda5. You can't select it on the build Mazda webpage, but it is in the options page. Anyone here have it?? One Mazda dealer here has 10 M5's, none with it.

The DVD player has yet to be released by Mazda. Best guesses say that it will be available sometime in July. Stay tuned...
If you are curious as to what the functionality or look is, check out the DVD system in the MPV as they are identical: only the mounting has changed.

Thanks for the info! I'm surprised they've waited this long. Well, I'm keeping this car on my list.

I don't think they intended for it to be this late, but I hear there were some issues with the supplier.

I just bought my Mazda5 yesterday. The dealer is installing a DVD with 10.5" screen. It is an aftermarket system but I cant complain it is guarenteed by the dealership and was less expensive than the Mazda one.

What good is aftermarket DVD players being guaranteed "by the dealership" and then only by that one particular dealership?
If you are not getting genuine Mazda parts guaranteed by the Mazda factory warranty, then you might as well have gone to Best Buy and gotten a better price or better equipment for the same price. All the major name brands have their own manufacturers warranties and extended warranties too.

I have to kinda agree with you. I'm BIG on getting factory parts as well. In years past I've had issues with aftermarket stuff installed by a dealer. I prefer to have things factory installed and not installed by the dealer. The big reason is there is no real quality control when it comes to a dealer putting in something. If I can't get a DVD player factory installed by Mazda then I'll look elsewhere.

on the 2006 M5 the DVD is always going to be a dealer installed option. I will know more once I get my vehicle later today but at least I know if there is any problems with accessories bought through the dealership I won't be voiding anything. Plus spending less money for a better unit isn't a bad thing. I am almost certain that the Mazda DVD system is not made by Mazda but a different company as well.
