Congrats! My dad is going for the silver MT. He wanted blue but he couldn't wait six months for it.

How much was your rear view cam if you don't mind me asking? Where is the output displayed?

Hi JohnM! Happy to see there's more than me getting this car this month. I guess that's a sign we made a good choice.

I got the cam for 13,500. The agent said it will use the same pre-installed screen. have been driving sedans so I opted to install the cam for safety reasons.

He was choosing between the XV and the CX5. The CX5 won because of the MT and efficiency. Space was a plus. Yojin 3 sweetened the deal. He also has a soft spot for Mazda because his first car was a Ford/Mazda Laser and we had lots of fond memories with it.

Please update the thread when you get your unit. I'm particularly interested in the reverse cam

It went great! took 2.5 hours... could have gone faster i think since i was the 1st on the queue. Same tayo nga color Crystal Pearl White!, how much was the cost of the rear view camera? Did they have to replace the HU as well? Congrats on your new ride! Post pics naman!

Answered na pala yung price... When i asked about the rear cam sabi sa akin dati we need to update the HU, good to hear na hindi pala yun yung case, seriously thinking about having that added too for the wife.

That's what Mazda Makati also told us when we inquired about the cam. I'm very interested in how they set it up on funnytrix's car because dad will be getting his from CDO and I'm not sure if the techs there know it's possible.

You know what, at first the SA told me the same thing about needing to replace the screen panel. But he was honest in saying that he is not really sure if that will be the case. I did not push for it since at that time I was still looking at other vehicles. Only after I decided to get a unit that I pushed for getting a rear view cam. That was the time the SA asked the "technical team". Low and behold rear view cam can be installed without replacing the HU. They told me that they are going to use the same camera installed in other models like CX9 (cant remember really).

I just completed signing all the papers today. I already saw the unit I am supposed to get. Unfortunately, testing the cam will have to wait until I get back from a business trip. can't wait to see how this goes .. do i need to worry?

Anyone else who had this installed in their CX-5?

Test it now na!

That's good to know. I hope our casa's technical team already knows this too

BTW are you getting an AT or an MT? AFAIK they have the same HUs but who knows. The AT is their TOTL model for now.

I am itching to test it JohnM but they haven't installed the camera yet when I was there this morning. i hope the way they'll install the cam will not be sore to the eye otherwise i'll bring hell to their faces. haha. i made sure they know that very well. i wonder how they'll make do with it.

i got the AT version but i doubt is the HUVs are diff

also just to share, i am not sure if this is true to all dealerships - there are still no official CX-5 accessories available in the Phils. my SA said that they are still waiting for the list from Berjaya.
