This video talks some more about features and as well as set-up of the unit.
If you have any comments or recommendations I want to hear from you, share them below in our comments section.
I have finally grown tired of the factory stereo in my 2005 Mazda 3 GT Sedan. The 2 options that are available to consumers include an aftermarket double din Touch screen (such as Alpine, Clarion, Kenwood, Pioneer, etc) that is a universal fit design which I would have to purchase the dash trim piece from Scosche to complete the installation. The second option (and one that I have to admit really liking) is the OEM-Aftermarket units.
These OEM-Aftermarket units are actually designed to look and operate like an OEM or factory unit. They appear to fit like a glove and they look right at home in the dash of a Mazda3. There are a couple of companies that produce these units and naturally they look different and operate differently from each other. Not to mention different features and options.
Some of the options that I am wanting is of course DVD playback, radio, Navigation, Sirius Radio with onscreen control, bluetooth, onscreen ipod control. If you have any suggestions for units that I should take a look at let me know and post it in the comments section below.
What I am going to be doing over the next few posts here on Mazda3carpet.com is share videos featuring these units and how they operate. The first in our series here is the Touch Screen with Bluetooth & GPS from CarAdvanced.com
I have been toying with the idea of making my Mazda3 different than the norm without going all crazy and bizarre with my car. What I want to do was to perform some mods that are clean, smooth, functional, beautiful and unique.
Some of you have read about the Type R red carpet kit that I have installed on my own car (I know, many of you have asked about making that kit available, I will soon But I am enjoying the novelty of being the only Mazda3 on the planet with the Red carpet) and I have added some other interior mods that are subtle but help to tie the whole package together.
But my next big project is creating a center exit exhaust for the first generation Mazda 3. You can see from the quick sketch the rough idea that I have for making it happen.
I am fortunate for my ties to the automotive industry (in particular manufacturing) and have already started talking about getting this made for me. I have already consulted my longtime friend Glenn @ Cam Tech Auto on the exhaust fabrication and it is a go from that perspective
But, I want to create either a carbon fiber or fiberglass rear valance section for the rear bumper to completely clean up the dual center exhaust tip installation.
What do you guys think? Let me know, how would you do it differently? If you have any sketches add links to your comments.
You have your Mazda3 slammed, with your RX-8 wheels, eyelids, shark fin antenna and of course a Mazda3carpet.com kit.
How about some Lambo doors? Every 300C and Honda Civic Coupe has that. Try on this new mod…… disappearing doors.
I was browsing through www.Mazda3forums.com and came across a thread that some people may consider the most extreme modification ever seen on a Mazda3. Click Here
Ok not quite a legit spy shot, but it is a photo shot of the protoype kit during installation. Thought you guys would enjoy it.
