    Service Bulletin FIX USB playback and SMS Bluetooth!!! NB1/TOMTOM ONLY ('12-15')

    Thanks everyone for the info regarding SMS and the Iphones. Think I'm going to leave well enough alone and not have the BT module replaced. I have a 2013 built in late 2012 and don't have the issues with the USB and memory sticks. Haven't had the SMS functionality so I guess I won't miss it. The...

    Service Bulletin FIX USB playback and SMS Bluetooth!!! NB1/TOMTOM ONLY ('12-15')

    Anyone with an Iphone 5 or 6 with IOS 8.2 can verify that text messages show up on the head unit, with the updated bluetooth module installed? And to what degree, is it just an alert, is the text message displayed on the HU, can you reply thru the HU?

    DT, do you have an iphone and if so is the SMS function actually working OK? I have a early 2013 and debating on wether to get the BT module replaced. I don't have the USB problems but I also don't have SMS downloading from my iphone.

    Does the text message feature work in your CX-5?

    I know there is issues with the text messaging (BT in general) functionality in the CX5 but was wondering if how to get the text messaging working? I just bought a Iphone 5S and from some of the quoted dealer and/or factory comments the system was made for this phone???? Nothing shows on my...

    Any advantages to having the Bose Centerpoint Car Audio System?

    I have a 2013 Touring with the Bose system. I'm glad I spent the extra for it (always wanted a sunroof too). For what ever reason I have not had the problem with the USB drive starting at the beginning after I turn the car off and back on. I enjoy the sound the Bose presents and as danieljw has...

    FWD or AWD?

    Having driven a few small FWD only vehicles in my past I much prefer the AWD on any vehicle I buy. I also live in the Chicago area and commute 45 miles 1 way to work. The CX-5 has handled beautifully in the sometimes snow covered roads. There's been several times this winter I drove through 4-5...

    For those having Transmission Issues with their CX-5

    Had a similar experience. Was leaving work last nigh and as I was pulling away from my parking spot I felt a quick down and up shift, at least that's what it felt like. The air pressure light, AT light and engine light turned on. Drove about 5 blocks and decided to pull over and turn the CX-5...

    What mileage did you have at oil change #1?

    Dealer change at 6,400 miles after 4 months. I'll also stick to the Mazda schedule during the warranty period. Hate for something to malfunction in the engine and they refuse to honor the warranty because I didn't keep up with the regular maintenance schedule.
