2016 Mazda 6 Cup Holder Removal, Fixing Sticky Console Music Home NAV Buttons

[@kodovibezz8851]

For those who still can’t get it out, there is a screw under the back cup holder rubber mat

[@gibsonax]

Hope you don’t mind, but I pinned your comment. Evidently this is the case with several models.

[@kodovibezz8851]

I don’t mind at all. I didn’t realize it and ended up bending the aluminum brace all the way upwards until I shoved a flashlight into the center console and saw it. The aluminum brace can bend back down so the piece will be okay

[@gibsonax]

@@kodovibezz8851 sorry that happened, hopefully others will see your comment and avoid that.

[@Giorgimm11]

Almost broke mine too.

[@isaacjones6955]

You legend

[@6hilltop6]

Q tip and a lil rubbing alcohol in the cracks of the buttons worked for me

[@michaelnute7776]

Thanks! I found your video because I had sticky buttons, too. The 2017 also has a screw under the rubber mat in the cupholder.

[@waverlyhock9030]

You are AMAZING. Same thing, Mazda wanted to charge me $250 for this fix. Bought the $30 part and did it!

[@gibsonax]

Very solid return on my 2 minutes of time then! Glad I could help.

[@fabiovasquez2673]

Thank you for this video. My daughter accidentally dropped a milkshake on top of the control panel. I was able to disassemble the whole thing. Thank you again.

[@pedrovillalobos2889]

You saved my life man ! I accidentally dropped in my house key inside the sliding cup holder , but thankfully i saw this video and recuperate the key !!

[@gibsonax]

Wow! Glad to hear this helped you out!

[@adampearson581]

I have precise the same problem of the home button sticking down! Great video, I'll try and dismantle mine and effect the same fix.

[@rcayala78]

Thanks for this video man. I have a 2018 Mazda6 GT and my star ⭐️ button got stuck from dirt and liquid spills. Now it’s back to working

[@trishacali6816]

Thank you! I had the same problem and this worked. Saved me money and a trip to the dealership!

[@charliejfg18]

Even tho I have a Mazda 3 this video was just what I needed to install the Apple Carplay/Android Auto retrofit kit and I’m really grateful! Thanks man

[@jaysonbonilla1531]

Does the apple carplay retrofit kit work for u?

[@ardiberen]

@@jaysonbonilla1531very late and I have 2018 Mazda3 but… yes it works.

[@russdshannon]

Perfect, good sir. Thank you! I have a 2016 Grand Touring in Automatic; same process. Now, my buttons are working from dropping my sticky girly coffee that I like to drink.

[@ericvannatter9114]

Oh my god thank you for this video everyone ive seen so far has manual ebrake different design from me but this helps so much

[@gespo1560]

Thanks brotha. I hate messing with plastic on cars haha

[@abe92139]

Thank you, works with a 2016 mazda6 sport automatic. Thank you.

[@69ChevyGarage]

Just purchased a mint condition low miles 16 Mazda 3 and the audio and home button go down together, so this helps as I have to pull this out or use a pick.

[@t.j.5574]

Man, I freaking love you. Flat broke right now and I know you saved me hundreds of dollars getting this fixed at Mazda. Do you have a Venmo?😜

[@gibsonax]

Glad I could help! I don't, no worries. Happy to help.

[@leonellopez3244]

Thanks man just what I need to change my Audio control switch 👍🏼👍🏼

[@ls3xavier76]

There is actually a brace that connects to the bottom of the cup holders that does not allow for the removal unless otherwise broken or never reinstalled. Very crucial to this job.

[@crystalkane2136]

is this why I can't get mine to lift out all the way at the back?? everything lifts out and wiggles, but where it connects to the storage area...it will NOT lift out...

[@jacobread4926]

There is a hidden screw under the backmost cupholder pad in my 2017 model. This will fix it

[@nelson-00]

Thanks for posting this. Do you think this would be same for the 2014 Mazda6 Touring? Thanks!

[@florinstroie2949]

Thanks a lot man! Great tutorial

[@jonasmckinnon2830]

I have a Mazda 3 with basically the same design of cup holders. When you removed the cup holders, were you able to get access to the usb/aux port module that is in the centre console? I am trying to install CarPlay in my car but I need to figure out how you can get to that module in the centre console. Thanks in advance

[@dremaul1560]

Same on a 2018 Mazda 3. This helped.

[@-iraqi8478]

Thank you man .i had problem with parking brake button

[@myrootsmyheritage4116]

My car holder fell out. Can I drive long distance with that huge gap there or is it hazardous somehow?

[@wallmartkiller]

So in the end it looks like you didn't even have to disassemble anything. Just wear off the stickyness that was in there with repeat presses?

[@giorockmaster]

MadResults he disassembled it because the button wasn’t coming back up. Think I’m going to try getting some string in there to pull it back up so I can do the repeat presses. I have a Mazda3 so I’m not sure if I can disassemble it the same way

[@andrewhollins7753]

Thank you your comment worked for my button

[@Huntsman8701]

Thanks Mate 👏💪👍

[@Lovemkkay]

My center console knob keeps on caving in and the dealership just looked at it and said they’d need to replace the whole center console.. I don’t think that’s necessary because everything still works fine.. do you think this will help me? I have a 2018 Mazda3 sport

[@Chris-et8pz]

the center console buttons for my car fell in idk if there was a screw that fell off or a clip that broke suggestions?

[@gibsonax]

I’m not sure, I’d assume these are spring loaded so maybe check under the buttons to see if the spring is still there? Something has to keep them under tension so they return to the “up” position.

[@donaldrosales81]

@@gibsonax I think he mean all the buttons, the whole thing. That just happened to me

[@Falc0nBullet]

Thank you so much!!!

[@beardedslavbrew615]

Is this the same process for the CX-5? My cup holder fell apart

[@bridenise9240]

Louis Hoffman was wondering the same thing

[@ameenghuloom1346]

Thanks

[@oskarborek8559]

what this spare port inside can be used for?

[@kakabubujaja]

Thanks a lot.

[@TheNDex]

Will this work on 2017 mazda 3?

[@TheNDex]

Thiis works on 2017 mazda 3 4door or 5door. It's fairly easy don't be afraid to use a lil force. The clips are strong. One thing you need to do is take a screw off where the cup holders are at. To get there remove two rubber pads. Also inside the center console there was two black screws. Not sure if you need to take that off but I did. Gl and thx for the video

[@factionGM]

Mine is with the back button :(

[@gibsonax]

Hope this helps you resolve it!

[@adriannamichalski3359]

i can’t for the life of me get mine off i bruised my fingers trying

[@hacerclic1020]

Thanks. Bad design on these buttons. Just a little grit or something gets on them and they're stuck.
