I have Mazda 3 2011 can I use 2009 steering wheel and my Mazda my don't have buttons on the steering wheel I want to know if I still able to pour 2009 without the buttons
You pointing out the horn difference made me think if thats the issue im having with my gen 2 i sport, sometimes the horn works, sometimes it doesnt. Ive tried changing out the fuse and the relay, neither of those changes fixed the problem, recently i swapped out my headlight housings so while the bumper was off i unplugged the horn, cleaned the connectors some and replugged. I also looked at the wires which l couldnt see anything visibly wrong, so my thinking was well maybe it's the clock spring, i didnt even consider it maybe being the button itself.
Dang, I should have done that with my 2nd gen Speed3 when I still had it. As much as I love the 2nd gen's overall feel more than the 1st gen, the interior was a visual let down. I Got used to it after my first year with that car though
Yeah at that time the overall design at Mazda was going through weird stuff, so when I saw the 1st gen wheel I figured it couldn't be that hard to make it work haha
Hello, have you think of upgrading the steering wheel to one that has paddle shifters? For example, the rx8,the 2gen axela(Japan model), the 3gen mazda 3 and 4th gen mazda 3 steering wheels,among others has paddles. It would be great to see that!!
Talented work, DP! I agree that the gen2 Mazda steering wheel was a miss. The buttons aren’t placed well and are uncomfortable to press and the switch is an awful feeling. I need to upgrade the head unit soon, but first I was wondering what I could do about about the small info-gps display in Mazda. It’s cracked and impossible to read during the day. Any solutions?
Thanks! Glad you like it! Unfortunately mine doesn't have the GPS at the top, so I'm not sure what it would intel to fix that, have you looked for used replacement parts? like on eBay?
@@DrivingProduction I have checked on eBay, but the pictures of it don’t give me a clear picture of the screen and if they’re damaged or not. Some people post them saying they have either been through high mileage cars or are slightly scratched up. Haha all I want it is a clean working screen
All the buttons on the steering wheel work, but my car didn't have the extra screen at the top, I don't think it would since there's no buttons for it on the Bk wheel

Yeah I would check out the steering wheel button for sure it's pretty easy to get access to, hopefully you can figure out the problem!
What a nice video!! Keep it up, well done 👍
Thank you! 😃
I like what you’re doing with the car
Thanks! I appreciate it!! 😃

That’s a great mod. Gen 1 wheel is heaps better. Did the cruise control end up working properly with the on / off ?
Thanks!! Yes the cruise control ended up working great! Just the Off and Cancel buttons were switch, but it still works great!

Yes I did think of doing that when I still had my auto Mazda 3, but since I have the manual now there's no real point for the paddles. 👍
@Driving Production do you think it would be a plung and play mod or it would require some wiring mods? I'm planning to do it in my 2010 2.5 mazda 3

What about the info screen?
I'm not sure to be honest since I have the aftermarket head unit I don't use that screen anymore.
do the cruise control buttons work? I'm in the exact same boat, even got the same headunit recently
The cruise control button turns on but I'm just not sure yet cause I haven't taken the car out of storage yet to really test it out.
Hey I've a question,on my Mazda 3 my mute button keep pressing by itself,any idea what could be wrong? And is there a way to fix it?
Hey I'm not sure to be honest, since I just installed the first gen steering. Have you tried taking the wheel apart and checking the connections?
Does it still work with the imid?
All the buttons on the steering wheel work, but my car didn't have the extra screen at the top, I don't think it would since there's no buttons for it on the Bk wheel
They don’t sell that radio no more
Yes that's true now Eonon sells the one with the touch screen only I think.
