    Can't delete an XM station

    My wife has a 2014 Mazda3. There is a station that comes up when she goes through the stations that she did not add. When I try to delete it, nothing happens. It also does not show up in her favorites list. Is there a way to delete it?

    Does a 2014 with the 2.5 engine have a timing belt?

    I replaced the battery about two years ago. One day this Feb. it wouldn't start. I called AAA and they came out and started it. The person who came out said that normally he'd try to sell me a new battery, but since it was an Interstate, he recommended that I contact the garage where I got it...

    Does a 2014 with the 2.5 engine have a timing belt?

    I called my dealer this morning. They set up an appointment for 11 AM. AAA came and towed it and I met them at the dealership. The dealer gave me new CX5 no charge to drive! A few hours later they called to tell me it was an ignition coil, and needed the spark plug replaced. They did suggest...

    Does a 2014 with the 2.5 engine have a timing belt?

    Something is going on because it's idle is rough, and it's in the limp mode. I could barely make it up a hill to get home.

    Does a 2014 with the 2.5 engine have a timing belt?

    Today I was driving my 2014 CX5 and suddenly it felt like it was going to downshift. It started running rough and had very little power. I got the following messages: TPMS Inspection Required, Engine Inspection Required, and SCBS Inspection Required. The low tire pressure light and the comma in...

    2014 CX-5: All Warning Lights Going Crazy, Help!

    When I had the issue of all the lights coming on, it was the battery. The first time it needed a new battery, since the original was 5 year's old. The second time, which was only a few months ago, was because the replacement battery was defective.

    Driving in snow

    I agree. Today and tonight I drove in one of our first significant snows. Getting the Pirelli's instead of the Toyo's made a world of difference. No sliding around on curves, being able to stop, and being able to take off from a stop without sliding all over. I wish I would have replaced the...

    Driving in snow

    I agree with you. I have a 2014 that came with Toyo tires. My old Infiniti FX5 had no problems in the winter, the CX5's back end was breaking loose on the gentlest curve if it was even slightly slippery. The dealer said it was the tires and they really aren't designed for a Minnesota climate. I...

    2014 CX-5: How to stop getting Gmail (but not SMS) notifications

    With my S7, I only get Gmail notifications and no text notifications. When I go the download screen and touch the email, nothing happens. When I first got the phone a few years ago, it did read out the email for a few days and then stopped. I only get the title. This is also on a 2014.

    How many miles before you replaced your original tires?

    I recently replaced my Toyo's after 38,000 miles. Last year I asked the dealer if the lack of traction was the tires or the CX5. He said those tires are okay for most of the country, but not for Minnesota in the winter- yeah, I know I could get winter tires. With any snow or ice, the back end...

    Michelin Premier LTX tires

    Thursday I had my CX5 in to the dealer for its 35000 mile service. He said the tires don't need to be replaced yet. I told him the traction is awful in the winter. When there is a light dry snow and the road is slippery, on any curve or turn the back end starts sliding out. I really have to...

    Michelin Premier LTX tires

    My CX5 will need new tires soon. It came with Toyo A23 tires. I have not liked them since I got the car. I never felt like they had good traction on wet roads or in the winter on slush, ice or snow. From my research, the Michelin Premier LTX tires look like they would be the best overall-based...

    2016 CX5 GT AWD reduced power/sluggish acceleration in cold weather

    I've noticed the same thing on my 2014. Here in Minnesota we are having extremely cold temps. At first I thought maybe it was my imagination.

    New android 7 problems on Infotainment

    Mine does not notify me if I got a text. If I get an email, it will ask if I want to download it. If I choose download email, I can see the subject, but even if I press the speaker symbol at the end of the title, it does nothing. Mine is a 2014. I wonder if the system in the 2015's and later...

    New android 7 problems on Infotainment

    I went to this link to see if I could do this so texts would be read out loud in my CX5. I could not find any display that let me choose Communication from the Home Screen. I tried the Set Up button, but could not find anything with the word communication or texts or SMS/Email. Anyone know how...
