2008.5 Mazda 3 5-Door GT Computer Install
*****Please look for updates below, as this is a living post*****
The Mazda 3 is a great car, but I didn't want to spend the $2000 plus for the factory navigation unit. I've had computers in my last two cars, so I decided to "geek my ride." This was a pretty straight forward install, as I used the factory head-unit for amplification.
Now, on to the computer install. I used a Lilliput 7" monitor and the Navigation popup from this site: http://www.japanparts.com/db/partsli...aker=8&volkey=
The rest of the components came from my previous carpc installs:
CPU: IntelD945GCLF2/VoomPC2 Enclosure
OS: WinXP Pro SP3
Frontend: Centrafuse or Roadrunner
Mobile TV: Slingplayer
GPS Software: Iguidance 2009
GPS Receiver: Holux USB
Keyboard: Mini USB
Remote Control: Macally
WiFi: Dlink WUA-1340
EVDO Router: Cradlepoint CTR500
EVDO RevA Express Card: Novatel V740 (provides Internet via Verizon Wireless)
Main Amp: Factory Bose
Subwoofer Amp: Crunch Powerzone P500.2
Sub: JL Audio 8W5 in Stealthsub enclosure
