Hello from Glasgow,

Got my new Dynamic Blue CX-3 SE-L just over a week ago.
I'm very impressed with it so far.

I'm hoping this forum will be informative and helpful for us CX-3 owners.

I will sort out some instructions asap. It will be one of my first jobs when I get mine.

You might be able to get it with the closure panel off on the top of the bumper but if not, it's bumper off.

Hi All
Twin tone horns now fitted. Not an easy job to get at the Low tone horn behind the grill but I have relocated it along with a High tone horn.
What a difference it makes, I cant under stand why Mazda only fit the one Low tone horn as standard.
As it is would have been very tight to fit both horns in the original location behind the grill I decided to fit the pair of horns down on the N/S just next to the plastic splash cover below the air intake, They work a treat and nothing has been modified on the car. :D

How did you connect the second horn? Was the wire there or did you piggy back it?

Hi anchoreman
I found the horn fitted had only one connection, so it earthed through the frame I extended the original wire to the N/S, well away from moving parts and connected the two horns as you say piggy backed them, so nothing altered with the original wire just an extension to the new horns position.
