Forum: 2009+ Mazda6 Car Audio & Electronics

Hey hows it going guys. I will be taking the stereo system out to install a carputer very soon. Anyways I need to find the ignition wire to wire it into my PSU so that when I flip the key it will power on/off. What would you recommend is the best approach to this? I was thinking I will have to...

After letting my 2009 Mazda 6 (with 8700 km) sit for 6 days, the battery died. Roadside assistance arrived and boosted it and then told me to let it run for half an hour. I did. Three hours later, I checked again and the car was fine (the proximity sensor worked). Two days later, same problem. ...

I found this aftermarket head unit at caradvanced, looks interesting. Any GB for this unit? http://www.caradvanced.com/products/Mazda6-Digital-Touch-Screen%2C-GPS%2C-DVD%2C-USB%2C-Radio%2C-Bluetooth%2C-Ipod-connection%2C-etc..html

What do you guys think is the best iPod integration module to get for a 2009 with Bose stereo with bluetooth and Sirius, and NO nav unit. what about these: www.mazdagear.com http://www.mazdaipodadapter.ca/ about $200 though.

I'm leasing a 2010 Mazda 6 iTouring and paid the extra $700 to have Sirius installed. Well, the dealership installed it for me and I have to say I'm quite disappointed with the outcome. When I think of manufacturer/dealer installed Sirius, a tacky aftermarket-looking antenna mounted via magnet...

Hi, I was going to have the IPOD intergaration kit installed in my 2010 6 with navigation. After speaking with the tech at the dealer I was told that with the current kit I would not get the track/artist info on my navi display. But that Mazda has just designed a new cable that would provide this...

does anyone now where i can get an updated dvd for my in dash gps for a 2009 mazda 6?

I am debating whether to install the iPod integration kit or not. i am ok with the audio in since it in my console on my 2010 Mazda6. Has anyone installed it and taken it up into the console? I just find the cable to be annoying, we have that in our 2001 Civic and there needs to be a cleaner neater...

WARNING: I personally accepted the risk of possible damage to my head unit using the GEA1-79-970 with my iPhone 3G. Everything stated here-in should be done with the understanding that using the GEA1-79-970 in a way other than what is recommended by Mazda or Apple is at your own risk. ...

Hi all, I've searched quite a few forums for the answer to my question, but have not yet got an answer, so hopefully someone here can help out. I've got a reversing camera to install and need to tap into the wire that powers the reversing light. To save me ripping apart my car unneccesarily...

(dance)Hi ~ new to site. I have a 09 Mazda 6Ts2 and last night left car inn drive nice and secure. This morning after huge rainstorm found all windows open about 8 inches? Have read handbook and know all about key fob open/close of windows but this was not a key fob mistake ~ the windowa seemed to...

does anyone know how to ajust the bass on the sub? i ajusted it on the radio but i wana get more boom out of it. is there another way to ajust it or something else u can do to it?

Just bought a new 2010 Mazda 6 iTouring and had the dealership install Sirius. They mounted that little antenna/receiver on the trunk. I quite dislike the location as I feel it detracts from the look of the vehicle. Is there anyplace else I can put this thing? Right now, it is just affixed using...

Yet, I won an auction for a mirror that has this function. (Of course, I google the part number *AFTER* I win it!!) Will I have issues sticking this thing in my car? Plugs not match up? Dangnabit! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220533993615

Does anyone know where Mazdas standard location is for the receiver to the remote engine start is placed.

Last week I inadvertantly let the car battery drain completely down. So I got the battery re-charged full, then started the car and began driving into town. That's when I noticed the Keyless Ignition Light by the speedometer was ON and steady RED. No buzzers or flashing, or any other...

Hello, in my 2009 Mazda6s with bose speakers, I get a buzzing noise from the speakers when my iPhone is anywhere near the center console, or in the cupholders. In general this is a common problem and there are even some products (EM shields) that claim to fix this issue. But I'm just wondering if...

Is the Mazda 6's cruse control supposed to turn off every time the engine is turned off? On all our previous GM cars and truck the cruse control would be always on and we only have to "set" the speed. With our new Mazda we have to "turn on" the cruse each and every time we start the car before we...

Hello all, Just created an account, as the wife and I purchased a 2009 Mazda 6 back in march. The car is 95% driven by my wife, but occasionally I drive it on the weekends and such, and have started to question if the rear speakers are up to snuff. Essentially, the sound output from the rear...

Was fitting a headrest DVD player to my 09 Mazda 6 yesterday. Had the centre console out to connect into the cigarette lighter to power the unit, but prior to that disconnected a couple of plugs under the seats to check where I could get power from. After I finished and put everything back together...

Perhaps the easiest mod I've ever done. Jacked up the right front about 8", removed four screws holding a plastic cover, and then just bent the plastic down about 6", exposing the OEM horns. Removed them, installed the new WOLOs using the same two bolts. The WOLOs have two terminals, and they...

My wife bought this off the show room floor. I was against it but who am I? lol.... Anyway, besides minor things like shakey steering etc. the cars pretty nice. But today I took it to home depot, and the a/c isnt working. Fan runs fine but compressor isnt coming on. Im a certified hvac service...

Mazda has mailed a recall for some 09 6s as a door can pop open while driving. Anyone dealt with this yet or had it happen

Anyone know how to install the mazda Sirius kit or is there any other way to have satellite radio work with the stock radio controls? Seems I can get the complete kit for $350 from my dealership and then I just have to figure out how to install it. Does this sound like a good price? Thanks

Seems like this forum is sort of hit-and-miss. Just did a changeout of the OEM Blose err, bose system . . . I'm normally inclined to a long, picture-ridden writeup, but if no one is interested, I don't have THAT much free time on my hands. Let me know if anyone is interested/in need. ...

i had bought fic6 i want to understand whether someone have wire diagram.

Hi folks, New to the Mazda circuit and don't have all of my resources lined up yet, so I can't get any clear data on an aftermarket stereo install yet. I have an AVIC-D3 that I'm going to put in (the sooner the better) to my 2009 Mazda6 w/awful errr Bose stereo. At first, I was going to just...

Looks like I can get at the VSS under the hood, but the meter is CAN bus, does that sound about right? The (very good) suspension of the 6 is throwing off the 'learn' on my AVIC . . . the 3-d sensor was pretty good with my CR-V, but it had LOTS of "directional feedback" (let's call it that). ...

I bought my 2009 Mazda6 i grand touring 2.5 in February, and until today, only a few fit/finish irritations detracted from my enthusiasm for the car. Although I think the rain sensing wipers are gimmicky, I had them turned on today, and for awhile, they worked properly, but shortly thereafter,...

Just got the car today and drove it 2 hours home. We were playing with it in the garage, wiring in a sub-woofer. We never even made it far enough to get the audio signal, and now it won't even go to ACC or ON. We called the dealership, and they couldn't tell us anything the manual didn't. The...

I've just replaced de original Head Unit to the Pioneer Avic F900BT. Before I got it done by a Pioneer certified installer, I thought the left hand steering wheel controls would work to change the computer board functions (in the right side of the original display). Unfortunately, they are not...

Not sure how but my wife came back to the car and the windows were open. We have an aftermarket alarm that opens the door locks. I have yet to set it up to open the windows. Now I know with the key in the door lock, you can open the windows if u hold it to the right long enough so i am wondering...

New member here and need some info from the experts. I recently purchased a 2009 Sport Touring S. This is my first car with "integrated" satellite radio. My other vehicles have the portable units. One thing I can't figure out is if the factory unit can "save" songs like the $30 portable units. ...

I am going to try to install a Prestige Alarm and remote start I have from a previous car. What I am wondering and trying to find is how the key in the door lock sends its signal to lock/unlock and open the windows. Would this be with multiple wires or are resistors used? I have the SV model...
