    2.5 Turbo Swap

    2.5 Turbo engines are now available used. They use a different trans, too. Will my PCM control the turbo (with a reflash) and tranny? A different ECU or instrument panel for my 2006 MX-5 both contain the VIN and can only be mated once. Once mated, the car will not start if one is changed...

    CX-5 Speedo error

    My speedo has always read low vs GPS. Since I changed to the 19 inch GT wheels its a little worse, 2 mph. It may have gotten me a ticket, recently. Can the ECU be reflashed to compensate for the GT tires?

    Mazda Tracking Owners

    This is VERY not cool. If my '16.5 has this it will be sold. I will NOT buy a Mazda with tracking built in! This is the reason I have a de-googled phone and tablet. https://www.autoevolution.com/news/your-new-mazda-knows-if-you-are-naughty-or-nice-and-doesn-t-keep-it-a-secret-202509.html

    2013~2016 Replacing CX-5 Battery

    Does the '16.5 CX-5 need to have a battery minder reset when the battery is replaced like a Bee Emm Vay, or Benz? I hope not. Mine is weak, because I ran it down too many times. It is also 3 months shy of 5 years old, too.

    Intake valve cleaner recommendation

    My 2016 has 71000 miles on it. When it had @ 20k, it regularly cleared 30 mpg on highway trips, with the best being 32.4. But, I haven't seen 30 mpg in 2 years. Those same trips half-way across the state had dropped to 27 - 27.5. In preparation for a trip to FLA, I decided to try an...

    Blose Dash Speakers

    Are the corner dash speakers the same as the center speaker? My right mid/tweeter is buzzing and I never use the center. Would rather swap them than pay $78 for a speaker with $1.30 in manufacturing cost.

    Under what conditions, in addition to trailer brakes, do Australian CX-5s get an 1800 Kg tow rating? Do your CX-5s have a transmission cooler different to the cylindrical cooler that bolts on to the trans we in the USA get?

    2016.5 Touring

    I was rear ended last Thursday and it totalled my 2015 GT. The hitch was pushed down against the ground, the visor for the sunroof was opened half way and the interior trim panel above the hatch opening was knocked off! I was not hurt or even sore. Gotta love a Mazda! Now I have a '16.5...
