    Does Walk Away Lock turn on alarm?

    Still a deterrent... Most people who own a homes have a home alarm hooked up to the local police or a dispatch service. My 2013 did have a factory alarm but starting in 2014 and all subsequent model years Mazda got rid of the burglar alarm as a cost saving

    Traded CX-5 for 2018 Tiguan

    Here are the pics, drives nice. The fender sound system is much better than the Bose I had in my CX-5. The start-stop is a bit "weird", still trying to get used to it. I still have much to read, these owners manuals are like encyclopedias now!

    Traded CX-5 for 2018 Tiguan

    Sure, no problem. I paid invoice price minus $500 (I have the 4Motion but no 3rd row) (VW Partner Program) through my employer. They took my cx5 for 10K (it was paid off) plus 395 for gap insurance Hope that helps

    Traded CX-5 for 2018 Tiguan

    After almost 84,000 miles, my 2014 CX-5 was starting to burn oil and experiencing other issues (loose and creaking panels and erratic Bluetooth) Looked hard at the 2017 CX-5 GT w/ Premium Package but decided to get the Tig SEL Premium. For anyone interested, compared to the top of the line...

    Strange Check Engine Light Issues

    Happened to my cat when bought new. It simply means that not all the monitors are set/met. Look at the service manual to know what all the monitors are and under what driving conditions the pcm determines the monitors set.

    Are you using 0-20 and how often do you change oil? I use kendall 0-20 and change every 7500 miles and there is a noticeable drop in oil by the time I change. I have about 45k miles.

    2016 CX5 Braking System

    They are ok but because of EBD, the rear ones will wear out faster than the front ones. I am coming up on 44k and my rear ones are just about shot

    Koeru concept : Next cx5 ?

    Mazda needs to step it up with the 17 CX-5. The 2017 Tiguan is really looking good and loaded with lots of technology and I believe the 2017 Forester is also due for a major refresh.

    Service Bulletin FIX USB playback and SMS Bluetooth!!! NB1/TOMTOM ONLY ('12-15')

    Got my module replaced today and all is well now. USB stick does resume where left off, no more starting on the first track. I have an Android phone so the IPhone/Ipod issues were not a concern to me, only the resume at startup.

    Service Bulletin FIX USB playback and SMS Bluetooth!!! NB1/TOMTOM ONLY ('12-15')

    tsb and recall are 2 different things. I don't see why you didn't email/fax a copy of the TSB that the OP provided - this would save the dealer from doing the research and would clearly contradict their statement that "Tsb wasn't available"..

    This is, how I have found my seat after work

    There is a tsb for this, I had it done. The tsb calls for replacing the seat recliner switch with one of a different shape that will prevent your thigh from accidently hitting/touching the switch I had the tsb done on my car
