Thanks - yes, my insurance gives a discount for GPS tracking, but I think I'd rather have a car that starts after a few days of sitting. I think I'll leave it there but see if there is a way to disconnect it.

Hi, I've got a 2017 CX-5 that has some sort of dealer installed GPS device that I'm mostly convinced kills my car's battery after it sits for a few days. The dealer has checked the car and says it is okay, but I come home from a trip after a few days and have to jump start my car. So, I'd like...

Thanks for the feedback! I wish someone made a skin for the piano black trim like dbrand does for cell phones though they'd be tricky to install. https://dbrand.com/

Hi, I know this has been asked before, but I couldn't find an official answer. Has anyone installed any of these ebay shifter trims? I've got some scratches on my stock trim and was thinking about trying these, but have a couple of concerns: how closely does it match the dash trim and how far do...

No, completely stock. I'll ask the dealer when I take it in. Thanks for the responses!

Hi all, our 2017 CX-5 GT's interior mirror seems loose to me, but I'm not sure if it is normal. Was wondering if anyone else could check theirs and see if it is the same?

Ah! So I figured out how to activate the trial (which didn't require any personal info or credit card #). I'd still be interested in knowing if folks pay for the service once the trial runs out. Anyone? Thanks!

Hmmm, the dealership didn't set it up - go figure. I saw online that it was only 4 months, but good to know that I don't have to supply a credit card number. thanks!

Hi all, I have a 2017 CX-5 GT which is a couple months old and am reluctant to activate the trial period for SiriusXM mainly because I know it's a pain in the @$$ to cancel with them - I've been through it before. My experience is that satellite radio usually sounds like it's being broadcast...

Thanks all for the replies! Okay, now, what about the AudioPilot noise compensation? On or off? Haven't had enough chance to see if it makes a difference.

Beverly Grove - between the Grove and the Beverly Center. Starting to see a couple of other new CX-5s in the neighborhood. Thanks for the response!

Hi All, Long-time viewer, first-time posting! I just got a 2017 CX-5 GT with the Premium Package and was curious to know of those of you that have the Bose system in your CX-5 if you turn the Bose Centerpoint option on or leave it off? My take is that it definitely makes it sound different, but...
