Has anybody actually installed the footwell lights + switch themselves? If so, was there any wiring that needed to be spliced? Wiring harnesses that need to be run? Anything that wasn't just plug and play? How are the switches wired in? Thanks!
Does anybody know if the Auto-dimming mirror with Compass and Home-link is available on the 5-door GT with Tech and Bose package? Thanks!
I'm just curious because the stock headunits looks pretty massive, so if someone were to replace that with say a Pioneer or Alpine single DIMM deck or something like that, I would imagine it would look a little funny. Has anyone swapped out the stock headunit yet? If so, pics please :D
Is it just my car, or does anybody elses headlights go out very often. I've seen ALOT of Mazda3's with 1 headlight out. My passenger side light is out. It went out using my old set of HID's. I got into an accident, they replaced my hid's, now the passenger one is out again....i only turned them on...
Anyone attempt to rewire their foglights to run independently from the headlights yet? Usually it's done so the fogs turn on once you turn your parking lights on but i'd seen it be completely indepenedent from all other lights. I've did the fog light mod on 5 vehicles now, and know that its...
I'm ticked that the fog lights will not come on with just the running lights. The SVT Focus was this way and I did a little mod to the fog light fuse and just ran two male ends from one side to another completely bypassing the fuse. It allowed the fogs to come on without the headlights, as well as...
I am considering the 55W/5000K DDM HID Slim Ballast Kit found here: http://www.ddmtuning.com/product.php?II=101 I had a 2003 SVT Focus before, and those bulbs are rated 4300K, so I want to come close to that output. Looked very clean without appearing to have a really blue hue to it. ...
Anyone have an idea what the small electric motor/fan could be that runs after the cars is off? It even sounds like it runs when the car has been sitting for a while but when you open the door. I can't pinpoint where it is under the hood or behind the dash, but I want to make sure it's "supposed"...
I have the tech package with the additional display...it works great for showing all the info about the artist/album/song on Sirius radio, but when I loaded 6 CDs I get "no info" for any of the artist/album/song. I've clicked the display button, but get no change. Are there really that few CDs...
I've just become a Mazda owner - 3s, 5 door, Bose/sunroof 6 spd - and the lack of coolant temperature, oil pressure and amp/volt meters is distressing. I like to know when the temp is "off the peg" so I can get on it. ScanGauge and DashHawk look like possible solutions, without the "agony" of...
Has anyone had any luck controlling their iPod with the controls on the stereo? I can pause and play through the Bluetooth but skipping tracks does not seem to work. Does anybody know if this is a limitation of the software in the car, or the iPod or both? Thanks, John O
Anybody out there have detail specs for the standard (NON Bose) audio system? Just trying to get an idea of power and distortion and all the other little bits of information that help to identify the quality of the audio system. Decided that replacing the HU was a bit too much trouble,...
Any one put a laptop in their car yet? I know some of you have dash command loaded on the ipod touch to monitor whats going on. But I was thinking of putting a netbook in the car to have a bigger screen and run dash command with that. Any thoughts?
Just curious as I have seen some places sell an iPod integration module for the 3. I just bought the i touring sedan model. I plan to use the 3.5 jack in the center console but curious to see if this integration system will work for my model? I have the iPod and then I have a sirius radio that I...
I have a defrost vent pod with interceptor gauge and would like to install soon. My current issue is removal of the AC (dash) vent to gain access into the defrost/AC duct. As I have already busted several plastic pieces and would like to avoid breaking the vent, so guidance would be helpful. It...
As the title states, I lost my tail lights, side markers, and interior back lighting. Interestingly the gauge lights still work. Brake lights, turn signals, headlights all still work. At first I thought it might be the trailer I was pulling, and the brake/turn signals still work, but not the...
My owners manual states that due to very high voltage danger , these bulbs should only be replaced by the dealer. So is there a special procedure involved to do this or can we do it ourselves..I've never had xenon lights before, so this is all new to me. (dunno)
I just picked up my 2010 3s hatchback and am going to install te Sirius kit myself. The dealer wanted quite a bit of coin to do it. I'm pretty much set on how to install it, I just need to figure out how to best remove the headunit. Has anyone does this? Any tips or advice are appreciated. Pictures...
I am tour between buying a Sport or Grand Touring Mazda 3 5 door for multiple variables. One are the headlights. Any opinions to offer on how the HIDs are on the GT 3? Also what about the adaptive and self leveling aspect? I do like the other aspects of the GT (leather, power drivers seat,...
I bought a HID kit about a year ago and now the passenger light won't light up. I can see it flicker to ignite but it won't "fire up". Do you think that it is my ballast or the bulb?
OK, I've had my 2010 M3 for a year now & I've had it with the damn dash lights. Is there a way to keep the dash lights bright enough to actually read the damn gauges when you've got the headlights on during the day? It's driving my f'ing nuts.
i found this kit with some searching and am wondering if anyone knows about it. ...
hey guys well last time i washed my car after a day or two i noticed that i got 2 big stain in the nav screen and 2 small on the redout screen i wonder what it could be from it looks like a stain of dirty water when the water evaporates and only stays the residue so i wanted to know if any body had...
i just installed my boost guage last night. it took longer than anticipated because i had never done anything like that before but it turned out good. T for boost guage hose running underneath TMIC cover Running around behind the battery
So i am picking up my new Mazda 3 tomorrow morning and trading in my Mazda P5. I cannot seem to get a straight answer from the dealership when i was there (service was closed) and Sirius customer service was useless. They guy on the phone could not even pronounce "Mazda" and seemed to have never...
Hey everyone, All of the data sheets say the 2010 MS3 has 10 Bose speakers. First: is that counting the Sub? Of so, where the hell is the other single speaker? second: even with the Sub, i can only find 9. 2x side mirror tweeters + 2x front door speakers + 2x Rear door speakers + 2x Rear...
The GPS on the M3 seems to have most of the data on a SD card. Has anyone heard of any hacks or mods for this?
Enjoy! http://purefinity.blogspot.com/ I noticed the driver's side window one-touch up/down function didn't work after the install, but I think it's a coincidence.
will taking out the original deck with the 6 disk mess with any of the bluetooth or any other controls? has anyone done this yet?
I thought our new 2010 3s Grand Touring sedan had a battery saver feature included but it seems there is one item it doesn't cover. Or maybe I misread something about it. I woke up the other morning to a dead battery. I noticed the trunk was popped slightly. Me or the wife may have hit the...
hi :) I've got a dumb question. Anyone knows why there's a musical note icon showing next to the phone icon on the screen. What doest it mean?(scratch) thanks
It appears Mazda has done away with the turn indicators on the side mirrors withint the 2010 model year. Anyone know if this is true and true across all trim lines? The MazdaUSA photos have been changed or Photoshopped to remove them and in another thread it was discussed....
Maybe im just a little retarded and cant figure this out, but there doesnt seem to be a way to adjust the time in this car. I have looked through the preferance menu, and i found the adjust time options, but the only thing i can select is "Sync to your GPS location" and that time is wrong since...
Hello everyone, Just bought a 2010 S Hatch.I need to run my antenna to the rear of the roof.Wanted to know if I can pull the hatch door seal apart to get the wire on the outside of the car.Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
So apparently the 2010 3 can come w/remote start as a factory-installed option. Mine has it (didn't exactly want it, but got it anyway). I can start it fine, but when I open any door, the engine shuts off. Probably a safety feature. Does anyone know if there's a way to reprogram it so it...
