    Dash cleaning tips???

    Still using Meguiars interior cleaning wipes...no residue, just looks like factory finish again. I just keep a bottle of them in my car and occasionally wipe the dash down.

    Hurricane Sandy, flooding and CX-5

    driving in water isn't smart...but I got stuck in a flash rain storm, got "forced" onto a road I wanted no part in, and ended up in, I'd say almost a foot of water...no issues. just drove on through. luckily I didn't have to come to a complete stop in the deep parts....there were some cars...

    how far past zero range?

    I've gone about 10-15 mi past 0. When I fill up on zero, with a 13.8 GAL tank (FWD) I get about 11.8 gal in before auto shutoff. So, I'd say you have 2 GAL remaining when you get to Zero. with the type of engine, it's my understanding that you definitely don't want to run it out, so I don't...

    Bluetooth Auto Play Music on Android

    I actually like to cut off the Phone part, but I don't talk on the phone much in the car, and I hate it when people talk to me through their car, so I avoid it. Haven't seen the problem with having to manually connect every time, it just jumps on. I'm on Android 3.2 I think. old phone, no...

    Tips for getting the best MPG

    I get 28-29 all the time, and 100% of my driving is city/urban. I drive somewhat aggressively, but when I'm not actually in a rush, I just cruise everywhere....coast alot, coast into lights, use the handling...these things handle well, so when I turn onto a hwy or pkwy from one rd, I just take...

    CX-5 Photos - Share your shots with us!

    I use the Meguiars ultimate liquid wax for my black cx5....see GIO26NJ did the same....I also recommend that for the clean freaks. I also use their cleaning wipes (no residue). I waxed about a month ago, perhaps more, probably going to hit it again this weekend. Still cleans easily, still...

    My CX-5 is in...so what to expect at dealership?

    conversely, you can reply "sure I'd love for you to give me that for free...." It will move along quickly after that as well.

    Do the leather seats get hot?

    Tints and windshield UV tint (70%)...in FL, it's 90+ 10 months per year. I don't have leather now, but did have black leather...luckily I park in garages most of the time, but at home it sits out in the heat....happy to not only have cloth, but tan cloth.

    Do standard side windows provide UVA and UVB protection?

    I have that on my windshield...it's 70% tint, and does block UVA and UVB. The side glass probably doesn't have that, unless there is a film, and I doubt that. but who knows? I've been wrong before.

    bluetooth connection problems?

    Haven't really had issues at all with my Android. Occasionally cuts the saved music on, rarely doens't pair..had the car since April. Perhaps there's something amiss in the bluetooth system in the cars where it's just flat not working.

    Best phone for CX-5---Suggestions?

    Iphone's hook straight up to it...show everything on the screen. BUT, I hate iPhones and more specifically AT&T. Verizon and Sprint have them now as well. I use Android phones, they work fine with the CX-5 but mine is about 1.5 yrs old...so it is also a dinosaur. The phone and music works...

    7500 mile service

    that's true...and yes, I will be going 0-20 Synthetic, we actually discussed that before I signed the papers. I'll have them do a full check of everything before the 60k is up. Actually the reason I chose this dealership was the service department. They did great with a friends car and were...

    Bluetooth Auto Play Music on Android

    I've been seeing that as well. If I cut Pandora off before I cut the car off, it starts playing my MP3's on my phone automatically. Haven't found a fix, it doesn't work that well with Android, just how it is , as far as I have seen.
