    Warming car up without key in

    Ok, so I work nights 7p-7a and I'd like to warm my car up during the winters so I don't freeze for half my drive home. Does the CX-5 have a safety feature if someone tries to get in and drive off without the key in the vehicle? I'm sorry if this is a silly question, but I'm not used to these...

    As much as I like the storage in the center console, it's very hard to really organize it since it's so deep. Mine is more of a junk drawer then properly utilized. Anyone figured out a way to organize it?

    While filling up my tank today, I noticed the station I was at has non ethanol gas, 91 octane. It is about $.60 more expensive then regular 87 octane. My question is, is there any benefit to using non ethanol fuel in modern mazdas? Tammy

    Upgrading halogen headlights

    First, please forgive my ignorance as I'm a mechanic, but not an electrician. How easy or hard is it for someone to upgrade the halogen headlights in a 2016 CX-5 GT? Can someone with basic electrical knowledge handle it? Also, would this upgrade void my warranty? Thanks! Tammy.

    Text notifications

    Ok, so text reading works good for me, but my issue is that unless I have the ringer turned on on my phone, or I happened to catch the screen that says I have a new text, I don't know when I get them. Is there a setting to turn on some sort of alarm or a voice notification thru the HU? And since...

    Yes, I've searched this site, but I can't seem to find any info on this. Is there any way to get rid of the next street prompts on my HU? It's annoying to be listening to the radio and constantly see what the next steet is. Thanks Tammy

    Oil changes

    Rather then have 1 thread cover numerous questions, I'll start a new one. Since I never questioned the oil that was put in my previous cars, other then regular or synthetic, how can I make sure my new car is getting the best oil possible? Should I do my own oil changes? Or request a specific...
