    2014 CX5 GT tech package. Audio dropouts. Nav issues...

    Turn the car off. Remove the nav SD card for ten seconds. Reinstall the SD card and close the slot cover. Turn on the car. Nav will reset. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    CX-5 Soft Cargo Liner is Nice

    I use both the all-weather mat and the soft liner. No issues. The only thing to note is the soft liner has nothing to Velcro to on the parcel deck. But that's the only nit pick I can think of. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Best PSI for 3000 mile road trip with 1000 lbs

    The owner's manual recommends 40 psi for towing loads. I tow a 5x8 trailer with two motorcycles on it several times a year with no problems. I use the curt wire harness for the trailer lights and hang the dongle out of the hatch. It will mar the paint on the bumper for long trips. If you can...

    Yes there will be fix with the Resuming Playback Issue on the CX5 Rdio

    You already can. Hold the button on the steering wheel for a second and it will advance one increment on the radio, HD or otherwise.

    Trailer Wiring??

    Not terrible. There are four plastic push rivets - two on the center trim where the latch is, and one on each side panel once the center is removed. There are are several snap plungers that hold the side panels on. Just take your time and don't force anything. The only thing I don't like is...

    Going Towing with the Cx5

    I towed a pair of motorcycles about 130 miles on Sunday. The gauge read 25.3 mpg. I'm pretty impressed with that considering a forerunner I recently borrowed got less than 18 mpg for the same task.

    Curt hitch installation instructions

    I backed mine up on ramps to do it. There was a lot of clearance once if was an extra foot in the air. 110 ft lbs is no joke when you have to brace a foot on the opposite wheel and keep your butt from sliding. Glad to have it though. I like the bike rack and soon we'll be hunting a trailer to...

    Installed Pioneer X930BT in my Mazda2

    Did you have to cut any supports? Crutchfield says the rear support needs to be cut in order for this to fit. I wonder if I can keep my steering wheel controls?

    Inaccurate fuel gauge?

    This is done by Mazda intentionally to extend the service life of the fuel pump. The pump will stay cooler if submerged in fuel. The remaining counter is set so that the pump remains submerged. My 2010 mazdaspeed3 and both our 2011 mazda2 behave in this manner, as well as the entire Mazda lineup...

    Roof Racks: What do you have? Pictures!

    We have the factory rack and two bike carriers. We had the dealer install it, but I removed it last winter so t wouldn't wear through the paint finish. I have t put it back on since, but it should be fairly easy to remount. The initial adjustment is what will likely take the most time.
