The seatbelt holder is for the passenger seat belt, not really for the driver's. It's to stop the passenger belt from whipping around in the wind when the top is down, making noise and being a distraction
I just installed one last week, passenger side. Love it. And thank you for confirming it’s intended and designed use.
Or just buckle up…problem solved!
i started snoring
OK thanks for this explanation. What I have found is that whatever the time of day, that darn sun hits that chrome and causes a darn reflection/distraction that hits my eye. This item would eliminate this. Cool!
For anyone who gets the side markers, you do not have to go through the wheel well. The marker light can be moved towards the rear of the car and pulled out from the front-end closets to the front of the car. Makes easy install even easier.
Great review! I have all of the items reviewed. Your scores were spot-on. FYI - Other inexpensive must haves for me is the brake light flasher, footwell light, and DRL harness. MX5things is great! Thanks for taking the time and putting this review together. Keep em coming.
This video is fun, helpful, and really well produced. Thanks! More!
REally like the video. First off your audio and picture are clear and well framed. YOur information with the accompanying links was spot on! Thank you, looking forward to more like this
I just discovered your channel and I have to say that you're kicking it!!! Keep them coming.🔥 🔥 🔥
As someone considering getting an MX-5, knowing that this channel exists makes me just that much more inclined to do so.
I see cool names like yours show up and I am inspired to get the next video up as soon as possible.
Perfect video. Perfect length. Thanks for the info.
Well done video, thank you for your insight!
Awesome video! Very informative and entertaining! =)
Thanks! Are you planning to get a Miata too??
Trunk popper is a win! It reminded me of is a "Jack-in-a-Box" toy like I had when I was kid.
Perfect informative and funny video! Thank you🎉 Getting my 2024 MX-5 in 18 days! 🤗
"Sign me up for hair dressing school..let’s get this thing done!" I laughed so hard. Sub earned mate!
Thank you! I do honestly want to investigate the validity of this association of MX-5 owners being hair dressers and secretaries.
@@MisterMiyada I’m in IT and fix computers for a living..for your science 🙂
The seat belt holster is supposed to be used on the PASSENGER side, not the driver. Also it is to hold the seat belt still, not the buckle! The reason you don't like it is your misunderstanding on how the item is supposed to work. JS
We put one in our 2021 MX-5 and works great.
I will amend my review on the holster in a future review. Thank you for the feedback.
@@MisterMiyada You're such a nice guy, even though you thought it didn't do the job (due to a misunderstanding as explained by Iris), you still gave it a 2.😳 Liking your videos!
@@spendingtimetogether8428 I promise it’s getting a proper review in a future video. Thanks for stopping by!
I installed the trunk poppers after the first week of owning. Definitely a huge convenience feature that Mazda should have put on there. Most Miata owners are over 50 and that trunk release button is kind of awkward and down low for those geriatric backs 😆
I love the trunk poppers. My only concern is making sure that my face or my wife’s face is nowhere near the trunk when using the trunk button on my dash or my remote. That thing flies open!
Right on Sherman, 60 here and my MX5 makes me feel young again.
@@MisterMiyadaProbably less as they sit compressed for years
I really liked the video, it made me laugh at some points xd
While it might be just outside the $100 range, I really like my FM hood lifters! I would give it a 24.
I must have those!
I thought the buckle holster was actually quite useful. I installed it on the passenger side, and stuck the buckle in the holster so that when i'm driving (aka having fun in the corners) the belt buckle doesn't flop around and make noise by hitting the door panel.
I just click the passenger side seat belt into its receiver.
@@JeanPaulConnock Thats the way to stay frugal.. Thanks for the idea.
Man, I would hate to see the product that you give a 1 .. lol. Very entertaining -- thank you!
THANK YOU! 🍀✨
I cannot wait to get my Miata RF so I can start to buy these Mods! I also want a glove box divider, stubby antenna, and a few of these items from today as well as a cell phone holder.
I ended up going with a magnetic vent mounted cell phone holder. It barely works due to my phones weight. Hoping you find a good solution for yours!
Great job on this video, you deserve more views.
Thanks! I hope to get to more views eventually. Until then stayed tuned for more.
@@MisterMiyada Muestra buenos accesorios para el MX-5, pero lo hace muy largo, mucho tiempo tú cara en pantalla y poco mostrando los accesorios, solo unos segundos mostrando lo que realmente queremos ver y a lo que venimos al video.
Un video de 7 minutos lo hiciste en 18.
Hey Mr Miata, my first view of any of your vids and great job! You sold me on a couple of Items that I don't already have. I'm deff diggen the trunk poppers, led side markers and seat belt holster. I have the LED rear strip light and the Interior Seat belt warning overlay. I have the one that is the silhouette of the ST and love it. A couple of comments for you. I know your weren't loven the seat belt holster but Im gonna get it for use on the passenger side. Im guessing it wasnt intended for driver side use, I mean what would be the purpose of that? Passenger side use makes sense if your passenger seat is empty alot. One more tip for you. the LED rear strip light. You slit the plugs! Much better to simply drill a hole through the plugs then feed the wire through. I used a 3/16" drill bit. Pop the plugs, drill the hole in each. The hole is small, and with the rubber basically self healing. when feed the wire through its a nice snug fit around the wire and the plug remains intact, no chance of leaks and looks clean.
"Dude sign me up for hairdressing school! Let's get this thing done!" 🤣 Brilliant, man, I'm absolutely dying!! I used to think Miatas were hairdressers' cars, too. I finally checked my ego and realized how much amazing fun I was missing. Great video, really enjoying your channel!
This video is superb. I picked up my first ever MX5 2 days ago and, as you already know, it's an amazing little car. The trunk-popper is a must, thankyou for showing it. Weirdly, the thing I like the least in my car is the airbag warning panel, what the hell were Mazda thinking? As an electronic engineer, I might make a small G-force display to go into this place, something simple that I just see out of the corner of my eye. Big thumbs up and subscribed.👍
Thank you! Have a great time making your MX-5 just the way you like. My gripe with the airbag warning panel is that it goes off if my cell phone sits on my passenger seat. Fix that sensor Mazda! Or allow it to tel the difference between my phone and an actual person. 👍🏽
@@MisterMiyada that’s right, it’s a common problem. It thinks that a newspaper on my passenger seat is a person in my Giulia! 🤣 it’s a sign of how brilliant the car is when the gripes are so small👍👍
@@peterf5318 yeah, I forget all of that once I step on the accelerator with the top down!
Is Us version's indicator light always on? I have installed it this afternoon, but it seems Au version does not have the sensor for passenger airbag, so I cannot keep the indicator on.
Great Video! I have some comments. But I like your video!
Look like if you "auto cross" your car that buckle hanger is great because you have 4/5 point seat belt and where to hang the original.
In Norway you can order your MX-5 from dealer whit black/gray blinkers, but not sequential one.
You could punch hole in the rubber grommet instead of cut it in halv. If you punch a smaler hole than cable it will seal up much better.
Thank you for the tips! I’ll need to order new grommets.
Craven speed is good folks if you bought buckle holster and hate it (I did) send it back they will refund. By the way more pricey but GREAT are the sequential turn signals, they way brighter than the $49 dollar ones. I went cheap the first time, and removed them cause stock lights were brighter- saved the money and bought the Mx-5 ones…. They are way better. Worth the extra $ .
Nice video; thanks.
Thanks! More on the way.
Nice content bro
I just bought a shelf for the central console cubby. Cost me about $25 au from Amazon. Great little thing! just big enough to hold you sunnies so you dont have to dig arounf to try and find them
A net would be nice too.
Nice video. Quick question. For the LED trunk lights, do water leak through where you cut? Because i know when i was the car a lot of water tends to get in the trunk area and well those black top stop water from getting inside. But since you cut a little slice through them and a wire do you or have you noticed any leaks? Or did you seal them?
I ended up sealing them with clear silicone. So far it’s good at keeping water out.
great video
Great review. Ok so I’ve ordered the 2024 ND3 due to arrive in Sydney early next year. after enjoying the NC For several years. I love the boot / trunk opener. Who supplies it? where do I get it from in Australia? Or do I order it from America? Please let me know. Thanks.
Thanks for the video I gonna take the rear led strip but Im going to try to use the antena black rubber cover and extend the wires the right side to the left that way I don't need to use the left trunk seals and it will looks more stock and original from the factory What do you think?
Great idea, I was going to do something similar. I even ordered replacement rubber grommets to replace the ones I put holes in. Rain Water has gotten into my truck from my first install of the led strip light.
Does anyone know why the steering wheel gets stuck on the 2016 at high speeds? Mazda Mechanic can’t figure it out
dude you're hilarious! great video! i'm gonna buy all of these cuz of you, do you get a commission? well maybe not the buckle holster...also considering the DRL harness, acc/ig power controller, roof controller, etc etc...
Happy accessorizing !!!
No need to cut grommets, you can just pierce them (Which is easier, safer, better)
Hey Mister Miyada, is your spoiler after market or oem? Please advise, my ND2 does not have one. I think it enhances the look.
My rear trunk spoiler is oem. It came with the club trim for my ND2. Good luck with adding a spoiler!
Ordered the trunk popper
Already have the other useful mx5things
Right on!
@@MisterMiyada I also just ordered the trunk poppers and I’ve seen some reviews about it lifting the trunk a bit and it doesn’t line up perfectly anymore. Are you having that issue? Thank you!
@@Jin-ef7rq Hi! I have had no such problems based on my perception. I can post pics from different angles for you all to see the current shape of my trunk poppers and trunk.
@@MisterMiyada that would be perfect! Where are you posting them?
@@Jin-ef7rq I’ll post here on UA-cam. Pics tomorrow.
I like the black spoiler. Where can I get one ?
Search for “2016-2020 Mazda Mx5 Miata OEM Club Package Rear Trunk Spoiler.” Some online resale sites have them. You can also order from a Mazda dealership.
Greta video, I noticed you had a gloss black trunk spoiler, could you send me a link to where you purchased it? the only thing i could find is carbon fiber.
Mine was from Mazda. Came like that from the factory. I think you may be able to order it from any Mazda parts shot.
Can any of these items be used on the Fiat 124 Spider?
I would think the seatbelt holster might work? Depends on how Fiat works the interior trim.
I would hate the trunk popping up. I'm glad if you accidentally hit it that it just unlocks.
Stylish!
None of these things add lightness which is more my thing. Do you know of any like for replacement parts that reduce weight?
I did like the 'trunk' lifters though but how much weight do they add?
My Goodwin racing sport exhaust saved a few pounds. I haven’t officially weighed, but I think it’s a 10 lbs difference.
Trunk poppers added just a few grams.
Hi sir, do u know any 3rd party monitor that can replace low resolution mx5 monitor?
A direct replacement? I haven’t actually looked, but I’m guessing there are some lcd kits out there where you can have a customized infotainment system or android based car stereo app. That’s actually a really good question to research.
Do you know if anyone makes clear front reflectors for the 2010 Miata?
The only ones I’ve seen after doing some research are the ones from I.L. Motor sports in Germany for your NC. Not sure if they are still sold?
@@MisterMiyada Yea I saw that one too. Thanks.
friggin awwsome. do you do stand up?
I tried once. Sat right back down.
I actually think I’m better at impromptu/riff off/on the spot stuff.
If you don’t already have one, for about ten bucks, you can upgrade your dome light to an LED bulb.
I’ve changed the dome, trunk and license plate lights over to LED. It was kind of a pain with my fat fingers at first. Looks great.
Awaiting delivery of a 22 MX-5. This and other evaluation and instructional videos have been very useful. I'm making a "to-do" list of a few things I want to do once the Miata is in my possession to include an axle-back exhaust, F/R sway bars, and chassis/frame bracing. I'll make a call on a big brake kit once I have a chance to get a few hundred miles on the car.
The Miata will be a 2nd car for pretty top-down days. I want a fun driving experience and have no track or autocross intention.
Any other suggestions?
Drive it for a year before modding it. The car is popular because it is nearly perfect from the factory. Things like sway bars will dramatically change the character of the car.
@@JeanPaulConnock Thank you - I'm probably nuts for purchasing a car without a test drive. I did drive a used 2020, but there was no new inventory for a test drive. I'm also purchasing the vehicle 400 miles from home due to the few area dealers not bothering to return calls.
@@robertpugh4321 Brother, if you're going to buy any car without a test drive, this is the one! :)
I owned a 2016 and had to sell it. I have an order in for a 2022 which will be delivered in early Nov. I haven't test driven it -- I trust Mazda's quality and everything I've heard says that the 2022 is slightly better than the 2019, which in turn was better than the 2016.
tl;dr: you'll love it and you'll love modding it. Just take your time. :)
@@JeanPaulConnock I whole heartedly agree with this. I did mostly cosmetic mods during the first year. Just last month I did the first performance mod, progressive springs and Koni shocks. That was a year and a half into ownership. Car is a blast stock!
@@MisterMiyada Boom, that comment gets you a sub 'cause I totally agree. Keep on making great content!
Un video entero de como instalar la tira led hubiera estado bien.
Toni, hay otros vídeos en como instalar esa tira de luces LED en el UA-cam. Es muy fácil instalarlos.
Idk that brake light looks more pink compared to the brake lights themselves
Your jokes make this channel awesome sauce. I want the Fiat 124 and wish you had time for that silliness too including my fantasy mods.
Also i think you forgot to install a train horn and strobe lights to warn off the bro-dozers.
Obnoxious horn? Blinding lights? Target audience reached!!! Also, Fiata for the win. 👍🏿
@@MisterMiyada yeah, it's really the turbo Miata i thought the whole world was asking for, but noooooo. Personally, 0.3 seconds of boost is all i live for, i don't get those people. Fiata life yo.
@@MisterMiyada I had a Stebel Nautilus air horn on my BMW GS motorcycle which saved my ass many times. It's going on the ND2, which I got as my GS replacement as soon as it comes. Would fit in the theme of this post. Nice jog.
@@ga6147 I’m looking into some proper horns. Thanks for the suggestion!
Nice review! Where did you get the black Mazda emblems and MX-5 and Skyactive badges? I've been trying to find black badges for the ND, but not carbon fiber badges.
I just did plastidip spray to get them black. 6 coats. 30 minutes between coats.
Where did you get your Mazda hat?
My Buddy gifted it to me for my birthday. I think it came from Amazon.
@@MisterMiyada Thanks
Hey, Mr. Miyada! How did you get your emblems blacked out, sir? Are they overlays? Are they hyperdipped? Nice video...
6 coats of plasti dip. 30 minutes between each coat. So far good for 8 months and probably longer maybe?
@@MisterMiyada Nice! Thanks, sir!

Aren't you scared of hitting the trunk button by mistake while driving and it pops open your trunk at 80mph like that
I fear it everyday. Hasn’t happened yet.
@@MisterMiyada lmfao I fear it and haven't gotten it yet
You should test it out on an empty road one night and record it for us
@@syleuva310 I’ll make it a UA-cam short. Planning out now.
It is spelled "Categories" NOT Catagories ! No biggy but it bugs me when some UA-cam pro doesn't spell check his graphics.
UA-cam pro. I can dream right?
Can't live without it. Really,, 'cause lifting a tiny trunk lid is so much work and so inconvenient.
Yeah, seemed like an after thought. Cmon Mazda.
I don't have kids! Dont judge me, i do what i want
Could you make the music s bit more annoying please.
if you talk about mx5 why not talk about na nb nc nd.
WHY DO WE NEED YOU AT ALL?...WE CAN GO STRAIGHT TO THEIR OWN WEBSITE. 1.32k SUBS SAYS IT ALL.
