2019 CX5 Signature. I test drove 2 2019 CX5 Sigs and a Reserve. All had the same camera lookHow old is that CX-5? Even my 2016 CX-5 GT had a camera similar to what you show for the CX-9 with the same red/yellow ladder grid line.

My 2018's camera is a lot better than that and it has the yellow and red lines.
Wow! Very surprised at the decreased performance of the 2nd gen CX-5's Camera. I can now see what you are talking about, as it is much worse than my 2016.5.
My 2016.5 CX-5 Matches the appearance of the CX-9 example.
My 2019 CX-5 camera looks the same as my 2104 CX-5 and the same as your CX-9 pic.
Your Cx-5 pic looks much worse than either of mine and, as was said earlier, the distance pattern on the pic looks different too. Did you have your CX-5 from new? I'm wondering if a (possible) previous owner swapped out the camera?
In any case, your shouldn't need to risk possible incompatibilities with a CX-9 camera replacement. Just get a new CX-5 one.
Note that the distance pattern is created by the camera, not the head unit. At least when I swapped my 2014 head unit, the distance bars followed the camera.
I think the size and quality of the tires has a lot to do with these numbers. What is source?BRAKE DISTANCE

It’s a new 2019 Sig. I test drove 2 other new 2019 CX5 Sigs and a Reserve. All had the same camera look. I also saw a few online and video reviews of the 2019 CX5 Sig and they had my camera and had the same complaint.Sorry @windsorshane - I just reread the original post and see it's a new 2019 car that's being discussed. You need to go back to your dealer. Do not pass go. Show the salesman the image in your car and ask to compare to other CX-5's. Then when you see the difference, have them swap it out for free.
Could you post a similar shot of your rear camera? I’d like to share it with my dealer. I’d appreciate it.My 2019 camera looks fine, too, like the CX-9 comparison. Not al all grainy like the CX-5 shot. I backed down a curvy 80 ft driveway completely covered in a few inches of snow at night on New Year's eve and had no problems at all navigating just with the rear camera. Daytime and nighttime details on my info screen are just fine. Perhaps there are defective cameras out there or Mazda used different suppliers depending on where the vehicle was manufactured.
I was also gonna ask for the source, mainly because I could not find the data on the mfr websites or on the NHTSA website.I think the size and quality of the tires has a lot to do with these numbers. What is source?
I agree 100%. Who would have thought that drawing air around you rather than blowing it over you could make such a difference?A short comment on ventilated seats. Previously I thought they were a complete joke, more about making money for the auto maker(even though I had never owned a vehicle with this option). I was wrong, this is one of our favorite features, keeps me from sweating and makes the long trips much more comfortable.
I can not comment on the other things...and have only towed motorcycle trailers with our 2016.5.
As for the poor backup camera, I upgraded the reverse light bulbs to an aftermarket LED lightbulb. BIG IMPROVEMENT!
Reverse lights on my 1st gen cx5, swapped to the matching number led bulbs. There are different bulbs for the sub models of lenses used, so forgive me as I don't want to quote a specific part number because of this.Are you referring to the backup lights or the lights by the license plate? My cam is good but I have noticed at night it's not the best (but doable). Be interesting to try what you did. What specs, or specific LED bulbs did you get.
I'm built similarly and think the 2018 CX-5 GT has the most comfortable seats of any of the 6 or 7 cars I've owned. To me comfort includes being supported and secure, not sinking in. I think some prefer a bean bag, I hate bean bags.I just returned from a 500 mile round trip driving a friends Mercedes CLC. As soon as we got back
I immediately got in my CX5 GTR to compare while fresh in my mind and I found that I actually like my GTR seats very much. I guess the Mazda seat fits me better than most here (6ft-165 lbs).
The Mercedes was a great smooth and quiet highway car but didn’t feel to me near as much in tune with road feel maneuvering as the GTR. The other observation is that there is no torque steer with the rear biased Mercedes. The GTR isn’t bad but it is detectable.
