    CX-5 Android Auto / Apple CarPlay

    I have what you describe occur only when my audio is set to radio (and maybe USB drive -- I'll have to check). If I use the audio (Google Play Music) built into Android Auto, then the driving directions won't be cut off at the end.

    CX-5 Android Auto / Apple CarPlay

    It's strange that maps and contacts don't match up, but try possibly adjusting the instrument cluster brightness knob.

    Airbag Light

    Steering wheel airbag you say? I have the exact same flash sequence: 1 flash, followed by 2 flashes. And repeat. It's been coming up intermittently over the last few weeks. I guess I'll have to bring to dealer. Update: 9/30/2019. Dropped off at dealer. They gave us a loaner. Then, later in the...

    2013~2016 Coasting

    If you want total coasting, then you may choose to put it in neutral so it's just the wheels rolling. The drawbacks: probably lower mpg when coasting because the the engine must keep itself spinning/idle, and if you need power (hopefully not in an emergency), there is a delay as you must shift...

    Considering upgrade to Apple CarPlay

    The SF area is likely to be expensive but call around. Some places may be running some upgrade deals. July 4th is right around the corner. I'm in NYC and got everything done for $380.

    Mazda VS Subaru... Scotty Kilmer Speaks!

    The description of the video is already throwing red BS flags for me: "Watch This Before Buying a Subaru or Mazda, DIY and car review with auto mechanic Scotty Kilmer. Subaru car review. Mazda car review. Who makes the worst Japanese car, Subaru or Mazda? Which Japanese car manufacturer makes...

    Well...that was lame.

    In all seriousness, I definitely think there are many areas of improvement for AA, but it's still better overall than the Mazda implementation (which I find adequate).

    2019 CX-5 GT Interior Gaps

    I've got some gaps under the metal strip trim (beneath the fake wood) in the dashboard area in front of the passenger. It would be fine if it were consistent, but some areas have a gap and others don't. Maybe it was from the Android Auto upgrade where they took off some dash panels? Now that...

    How many miles before you replaced your original tires?

    I would say no, mainly because I am not driving in a way that approaches the limits of either tire (original Toyo or current Sumitomo). The tire dimensions and sizes are very close as well (https://tiresize.com/calculator). There is only a 10 revolution increase over a whole mile of travel...
