How much does the Mazda liner cost? I might be canceling my order for the other liner...

For those that are interested in a cargo liner, I searched high and low for a cargo liner custom fit for the CX-5 that also covers the seat backs. I have a lab that sheds like crazy and my seatbacks look like the inside of a dog crate. Turns out there is a company that makes a custom liner for...

A couple weeks late to this thread, but i posted about my experience using the mounting points in the CX-5's roof, that are under the rain gutters. See my post here: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123813925-Roof-Racks&p=5975775&highlight=#post5975775

As the others have said, doubtful unless you take off the front wheel and drop/remove the seat. And then your bars may hit the glass, so you would need to turn the bike around. Or just lay the bike flat on its side (front wheel will also need to come off). Or, get a hitch or roof rack. The CX-5...

Thanks for the write-up. I live down the road in Denver and am still using the stock tires - with 25,000 miles on them. They still have some life left but they may not make it through the winter. I've been debating on getting another set of all-seasons or doing the spare winter wheelset thing...

Glad you didn't have any issues. Keep an eye on it, and if anything happens, come here and tell us about it!

For those that are still interested… My dealer did a software flash, and I have yet to experience the problem again. The software flash is a “temporary fix” according to Mazda and something more long-term is in development. My dealer tech said that they aren’t really allowed to mess with the...

This just happened to me again, except this time the AT and engine lights came on too, and stayed on after I restarted. Very frustrating. This car is going back to the dealer ASAP. I wasn't even in manual mode, and i was on a very gradual climb. I hope this is just a software reflash issue as...

I agree. I really like the CX-5, but it has definitely had some new-model gremlins.

It was an interior light I believe. That, or some of the interior electronics (stereo?) managed to stay on. The battery was totally drained. I was gone for about 3 hours and got back to a dead car.

Just got a call back from the dealer. Here is what they think happened based on the computer codes. The battery died a few months ago because I left a light on. Had it jumped, and all was fine. However, the alternator in these cars does not recharge the battery. It just gives it enough juice...

While climbing a mountain pass on I-70 in Colorado (Vail pass, for those that are curious) on Sunday night, I lost power in my CX-5. It was pretty cold, maybe 10 degrees, and the road was somewhat covered in snow. Because the CX-5 has trouble getting up the I-70 mountain passes above 50 mph, I...

I've been having the call-answering problem too. I have a new iPhone 5, and I can make calls over bluetooth fine, but I can't receive calls. I have to Transfer to Handset, and then I can hear the caller through my phone, and then I transfer back to vehicle, and I can talk over bluetooth.

My battery died again (second time). I'm pretty sure I'm not leaving anything on. This is kind of frustrating. I'm having it towed to my Mazda dealer so they can see the car in the state I see it - totally dead.

I'm having all kinds of problems with my bluetooth. Half the time it won't even connect, or it takes forever to connect, or the steering wheel/nav screen controls will not control the music. Pressing next or back does nothing, and I have to go to my phone to skip songs. I have a Samsung Galaxy...

It's only been on a few days so I haven't noticed a MPG difference yet. Right now I'm at 32 MPG average (AWD, mostly highway). The wind noise is pretty annoying, and it's not even worth opening the sunroof when there's a bike on the rack because it's so loud. I guess it's the price you pay for a...

Pictures here: https://picasaweb.google.com/113205374272226286982/CX5RoofRack Took me about an hour. The parts I used are: 2010 Thule 460 Podium, Fit Kit Brackets = 3069 for Fixed-Point for 06 Mazda 3 hatchback Load Bars length 50 inches 2010 Thule Lock Cylinders Total cost (last year) was...

Sure, I will post pics tonight. The pic above is not what I have though. I did not get the OEM rails with Thule cross bar. I got Thule towers with Thule cross bars. If you get the Thule towers, there is no need for the OEM rails.

For those that are interested, the Thule US website now lists a fit kit for the CX-5, and.... surprise surprise, it's the same as nearly every other Mazda, including my old 2006 3 hatchback. Thankfully, I kept the rack, and it's a direct fit onto the CX-5. I just had the widen the tower spacing...

Sounds like a good idea. Thanks! I'll do that if it happens again.
