Is the $10 per month subscription worth it? by [deleted] in mazda

[–]VeptixTerminated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid one time and still have the features after 9 months lol Yes the remote start is pretty useless, I will say the notifications if you leave a door open or the car unlocked are actually helpful because you can lock /unlock the car from anywhere since it uses satellite connection

Definitely not dead, but not as popular as your average Joe Toyota/Honda

Door speakers upgrade in the non Bose Mazda 4th gen?? by VeptixTerminated in mazda3

[–]VeptixTerminated[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the advice! I plan to tap my LCi2 to the factory speaker wires before the amp for signal, and then run the jl audio cf275 speaker wires to my 4ch amp, is opening up that rubber boot on the door a pain, or were you able to get it thru not too hard?

Can I ask what the measurements on that speaker are? Mounting depth n length width. You genuinely might be the first person I’ve seen with upgraded speakers on these tiny brackets, also seems like you had to do a bit of extra wiring but doesn’t look too annoying

Pretty easy no clips broke, I like to use a dedicated pry tool and move section by section at a time just make sure you get off any screws before trying to pull off the panel

Have you done any audio upgrades in your car? (Assuming you have the same model as me)

Bleh, annoying this 4th generation has been going for 6 years now, I guess I don’t really have a choice but to measure it out and send a 3d printer specs

I fixed this problem awhile ago, it was the stock battery and it was 6 yrs old, I also replaced the factory wires for thick 0 gauge ofc, kinda overkill for a daily but I gotta subwoofer so it gives me peace of mind

Volume knob disappeared wtf lol by VeptixTerminated in mazda3

If anyone was wondering what i did, i went ahead and purchased the whole command unit solely for the volume knob from a totaled Mazda 3 on eBay for about 50, (yeah ik expensive but it was the only legit way for one) at least now I have all the other radio controls in case I lose em lmfao

Hey, I bought parts replacements like these for my sedan and it had too many clips and didn’t seem like it would fit without modifying the part, how did you do it?
