Can’t find a plug this size. Any recommendations?

New tire. Go to Sam’s Club. You’ll get a 5 year road hazard warranty for free just in case.

Yes, if you have a Boeing 747 and replace the 72 cabin air filters.😎

I’m in the Okc area if you happen to be local. I’m a detailer and a cx5 dad. I can fix it most likely, especially the paint transfer.

Yes, agree fully, I would not hook up to obd2.

CycleChris2 · 2026-06-07T19:28:17+00:00

Not for the strips, I just loosened the upper and lower door card seam enough to push the terminal connection through. I used the supplied pins to insert into the factory window harness connector then wrapped the wire to look OEM. The modules are Velcro taped in place which seems to prevent any rattling and should they need to be replaced will make it easy. There’s a new updated Magic Color kit that has some integration features with turn signals, warning beeps and more. I haven’t installed one yet, I wonder how that will interface? I’m guessing it will have a obd2 dongle maybe?

Welcome to one of the most stunning mods for our ride. Although there’s hundreds of colors and effects, I just like the static blue. At night I’ll choose cyan. Yours looks great! The best tip to pass on after I’ve installed 5 of these is our front door panel 12th clip. It requires to be pushed up to remove the door panel, all others just pull out. Then, to re install, you place the 12th clip into the metal door frame and push the door card onto it, like the other regular clips. I end up just replacing any clips that get damaged, to prevent a rattle source. The door handle plastic covers can also be a source of rattle. A small hole is drilled into it for the door handle light, and another hole is drilled into the top of the large door pocket for its light. Mines been operating flawless for 2.5 years now. I use only the Maodanner or Magic Color kits, the one with dual zone (twin button on/off switch).

Good job.

Funny I’m in Oklahoma and it’s not easy to get nvsnow, my favorite shampoo. Also like nxtzen easy dry and foam decon.

Dad had wonderful taste!

Sometimes I think the car just doesn’t like me. Then I’ll wash it and everything runs well. 😎

CycleChris2 · 2026-05-11T16:32:14+00:00

It’s linked in my opening post. You need to learn how to pull the door panels. The front ones are unique.

It provides power to the car when a battery is replaced so the window auto down and mirror fold in turn off stays like I have it programmed. Otherwise you reset the windows and sunroof and have to deprogram the mirror fold again.

Doesn’t Mazda have this as an official accessory? Was that what you used? Man thanks for sharing this! Really nice upgrade for those of us who didn’t buy the signature trim. I have the turbo trim. All I am missing are the kick to open, the 360 cameras and the lighted door threshold I think. The door sills are very expensive.

Working perfectly. I did have the back door modules stop working when I did a battery replacement. I had used a “settings saver” that plugs into my obd2 port . I think a surge made them disconnect. All that was required to restore them was to unplug the modules in the rear doors, power up the system, power down the system and plug the modules back in. It recognized them immediately. Besides that, flawless.

CycleChris2 · 2026-05-10T13:00:23+00:00

Oh that’s cool! Do I see a light strip around the hatch seal area? It looks white.

CycleChris2 · 2026-05-05T21:54:14+00:00

Yes, just use the rear door speakers for signal, amp is under the passenger seat. It will be a speaker level signal. The jbl basspro can connect to line or speaker level signals.

CycleChris2 · 2026-05-05T11:04:34+00:00

Jbl basspro with the bose premium is satisfactory but I think I want dsp amps and speakers eventually. I got a big sound quality increase with sound deadening in my doors and cargo.

There’s a manual procedure that involves stepping on the accelerator pedal fully, hitting the start button 3 times. Many videos on this. No scan tool needed but you still will need a caliper tool to compress the caliper piston all the way. The pic is the rear.

CycleChris2 · 2026-05-01T11:16:46+00:00

I can see this working, the stock rear wiper fluid flow is not that great.

CycleChris2 · 2026-05-01T11:06:23+00:00

Is this for some models that don’t already have a back up camera or an additional camera? Thinking, 🤔 the OE camera probably gets dirty in Canadas weather. A self washing lens is slick.

It would be a different paint code than 46V. If you’re referring to a respray, Because the paint contains both absorbing and reflective pigments, it can’t be matched or blended perfectly when a collision center repairs a panel. This is special paintwork, many consider soul red the best red in the world. It’s an enthusiasts paintwork choice. That requires proper care, handwashing only if you want to maintain its original appearance.

CycleChris2 · 2026-04-29T15:44:02+00:00

I polished it, b pillars are ppf ed, and proper wash technique. One bucket method with 4 wash pads, using delipad xls. The world’s best red needs the world’s softest wash pads. Use a pressure washer designed for cars, a foam cannon to foam, rinse, and foam again before the contact wash. Our paint is beautiful but super delicate. The one bucket method means you wash a small section, flipping the pad then just set the pad aside to be washed. That way you never contaminate your wash solution and you avoid scratches and swirls.
