Congratulations Mac! Good choice on the Titanium Flash GT (I have the same combination) Purchased in October 2015, after the untimely death of my 2014 Mazda 3s GT - totaled in a collision, but both my wife and I walked away with only very minor injuries. As fun as the new Mazdas are, they're...

That is interesting, and it makes sense. Thanks for sharing Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Yep... normal. Sport Mode worked that way on my 2014 Mazda3 and still works that way (holding RPMs near the peak torque point of 3600 RPM) on my 2016 CX-5 GT. Also, as I recall from the 3 (where I used it more often) it will not let you engage Sport Mode unless you're stopped or going in a...

The standard American may not have bought a diesel CX-5, but I would likely have. Of course, I also would have bought a Mazda6 wagon... especially if they offered that with a diesel... Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Maybe it's due to the availability of Mazdas here in my vicinity, but I know of several people with Mazdas. Among the 13 houses on my street, 3 have CX-5s (myself included). I previously had a '14 3s GT hatch. Among friends, two have Mazda 6s. My grandmother drives a CX-5, another grandfather...

I went non-tech coming from a 2014 3s-GT with the adaptive lights and such. Adaptive lights were definitely nice (the 3 had adaptive Xenons instead of LEDs), but I was averse to the whole car-stops-itself thing, even after walking away from a collision that totaled the 3 (those headlights and...

While you're there, check on 2013-2015 CX-5s...is there any difference? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

I've been curious as I read threads like this too: FWD, AWD, or is it happening to both? This would be useful information if people are going to spread the word online that their transmission failed and buyer beware. I had 24k on a 2014 Mazda 3s-GT with just the usual infotainment problems but...

From the commander knob, try pressing and holding Music + Star (favorites) + Mute (volume knob) for 5 seconds to bring up the diagnostic screen. It will look something like this: You can either touch the screen or cycle through the codes with the commander knob and press down to enter to...

I presume since yours is JDM that you'd have different software versions & part numbers in the Diagnostics screen, or I'd ask for those to compare to mine: 53 - Software Version Display (CMU): MAZ_CMU-150_55.00.750 (was MAZ_CMU-140_33.00.500 before upgarding to v.55) 57 - Software Version...

Well, I kept hoping the bugs were gone, but alas - they aren't. It decided it didn't have a CD player over the weekend, still struggles with the 4GB USB stick, hates both of my 32GB sticks, and has reset a few times at random while driving, and even struggles to remember that it has an aux...

That might be nice... but no. What begins is several days of driving the car to see if the bugs I've been frustrated by in the past have been squashed by the updated OS. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

I received the postcard above in the mail today. After a stop by my Dealer, I have an appointment for Thursday. I'll update next week if my USB recognition and performance is improved as Mazda claims in this changelog...

http://www.safercar.gov/Vehicle+Shoppers/Air+Bags/ON-OFF+Switch+FAQ The US does not require vehicles to come from the OEM with a switch, although I believe most standard pickups (without a backseat for a child seat) and two-seat vehicles come with the switch still. I do not know whether this is...

Agreed - the infotainment is separate from the ECM/PCM. Although, it seems to exercise some interesting powers over the maintenance (wrench) light in the dash from what I've experienced... In the US, the airbag on/off is controlled by an occupancy-type weight sensor in the passenger seat...

I noticed Honda has issued a video to their YouTube channel about this issue...I thought it was strange, having owned two Hondas myself (before becoming a convert when i bought my Mazda3 last year) and my wife on her second Honda currently. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Also, I notice you have a CX-5, and although the 2016 has MazdaConnect like our 2014+ Mazda3's - my understanding from the rep at Mazda Corporate was that the software is model dependent. I'm not sure I totally believe that (it's theoretically cheaper and easier to keep the systems consistent...

What is the update to the ECU for? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
