The BSMS can be finicky. If its dirty in that area it doesn't work great. The mazda connect also is finicky with Bluetooth pairing. 50/50/90 it works on my wifes 14' mazda 3.

kenchan 12-14-2015 11:57 AM

huh... features i dont need.. why they put these gadgetry on a miata? :icon08:

It is as long as you follow Kenchan's DIY:

Step 1. Install dash cam and mirror.
Step 2. Done! :tup:

The first pic is the fuse box. Reference the back side of the little fuse box door in the kick panel. I hardwired the dash cam and mirror auto-dim/compass wiring to the add-a-fuse circuit and then plugged that fuse into the Audio/Mirror fuse slot (after removing the OEM low profile fuse of course). I used the bolt to the lower left of the fuse box as my ground. The second add-a-fuse circuit in my pic on the left side of the fuse box is the Homelink wiring for my mirror that has to be run off the battery; I tapped into the Push Eng Start (ignition) for my battery source.

The second and third pics are a couple I took showing how I ran the wiring. I just tucked the wiring into the headliner, and then down the a-pillar. Pull the weather stripping out so you can tuck it down behind the dash. Once I ran the wiring and replaced the a-pillar, I was actually able to pull the wiring from either the kick panel end or the mirror end to get the length just right.

Note you can find the add-a-fuse circuits at your local auto parts store. It'll be a normal mini fuse, not a low profile mini fuse like the OEM ones in this particular fuse box. So make sure you also get a couple of normal mini 10A fuses at the same time if you don't already have some.

Looks way easier to understand now. Regular fuses and not the minis. I'll have to figure out how to remove the pillar without the airbag exploding. Doesn't look that hard. Suppose to be warm this weekend, i'll def be giving it a shot. Thanks again so much!!!

They are actually mini fuses. There's regular fuses (bigger than the ones used in the add-a-fuse), mini fuses (the ones used in the add-a-fuse), and low profile mini fuses (the ones Nissan used in that fuse box).

A-pillar is not terribly difficult. Start at the top by the headliner. Don't pull too hard. If you get resistance try pulling from a different angle or location. Once I hit the right spot, mine popped right out.

One more thing to try. Remove item from shopping cart and place on your wish list. clear browsing and cookies. Keep an eye on the 4100 and add it when ready to buy @ $515 :tup:
