Thanks for the extra info. I was having some issues with older USB sticks for transferring RockBand files to my PS3, so I bought a few 32GB 3.0 sticks to use in the car as well. At least that way i can get the full use of the 128GB for other things. One of my sticks in the car is an 8GB 2.0 and...

What cleaning products are safe to use on the stock rims that come with the 2023 GT model? ArmorAll has all sorts of warnings about rims with plastic parts and coated aluminum rims, etc. These rims seem to have metal and plastic, or is it all plastic on top of the alloy? Is it ok to use rim...

After some use, it appears to mostly work. It did autoresume most times, sometimes not when playing a long song. Another issue(or non issue) that is constant. When it finishes playing the last song in a folder(album), it just randomly starts playing Track01 in some other folder. It does not...

So I repartitioned my 128GB stick into a 32GB partition only, and formatted with win as FAT32. It still thought it was USB2 when plugged in. And even though I partitioned, reformatted, and reloaded the songs, it still started up at the last song when I selected it. Anyway, we went on a trip and...

So that did not work, it still would not autoresume from the 128gb stick even with the 8gb stick left in. I think I will reformat it to a smaller size and see if that works.

So more info. After waiting more than an hour, when I turned on, my older 8GB stick did autoresume, so I apologize because I guess I did not use that one before I replaced it. My newer stick is 128GB(that I also had to find a win utility to format to FAT32). I did notice something. Whichever...

Thank you for this info. What size USB stick are you using? And how did you format it?

So, as suggested, I tried one of my older sticks. As soon as I plugged it in, the car started reading it(flashing light) without the car being turned on. Started it up(aux mode only) and selected that USB. It started playing from the last song selected when that USB was plugged in before I...

Thank you for that info. I'm pretty sure I had already tried a different stick, but will try again. I do remember that my old GX-5 had to have something changed to enable USB resume, and IIRC, it had the same issue playing MP3 burned CD's as well. What size USB stick are you using? Also how did...

My 2015 GS would resume play from USB without having to manually choose it.

Exactly. It resumes the previous song on the stick, but I have to select the source first. All the other sources, FM, SiriusXM, automatically start playing, but not the USB.

Just took delivery last week of a 2023 GT model. Really love all the new features that my 2015 did not have(like not downshifting going down a hill with cruise on). This vehicle has the Type B Mazda Connect system. When playing the radio, the unit remembers that you were listening to the radio...

I have just ordered a 2023 CX-5 that is on a ship from Japan. It is the GT model, nothing added, so it comes with the stock 225 55R19 rims and tires. We will trade in our 2015 CX-5 GS model that was also stock. It has 225 65R17 rims and tires. I have a set of winter rims and tires in the same...

See my note in the Resuming thread. Print out the SB and take it with you and call the Hands Free line from the dealership. Takes 20 minutes to install. Took 5 days to get the part, but I am guessing that is because they reburn the old units.

I can confirm that the SB referenced in this thread is valid for use in Canada. You can call the Hands Free hotline before going to the dealer, they do know all about this issue. You will still need 2 visits to the dealer. Print out the referenced SB and take it with you. The tech at my...
