    Help needed with Aftermarket Stereo Installation in 2015 CX-5 GT (Bose System)

    I just swapped out the POS 2015 HU with an AliExpress android unit. Lots of frustration followed but now it is in place. The above poster is correct: your volume is super loud because the HU is sending high power signal out and it is getting re-amplified. I wired in a Scosche OEA-4 line...

    A few questions from a CX-5 noob

    Agreed. At no point did I say I would like to give back my CX5 due to infotainment bugs (as many here have internet-threatened to do in other threads). But that does not take away from the fact that a car purchased as recently as 2015 has a substantially less-functional feature set compared to...

    Does anyone have a copy of the Wiring Diagram they can send/post? I downloading the doc at the link, and the table of contents appear but the rest of the pages are blank.

    A few questions from a CX-5 noob

    I traded in a 2009 Fusion (first year of Sync) for a CX5 a month ago and the voice and audio functions of the Fusion worked perfectly. The 2014 CX5 is decent at best, but manageable. Still shake my head that the 7 year old Fusion system is miles better than even the 2016 Mazda.

    CX-5 Ebay Fog Assembly DRLs

    Got the covers off yesterday. As someone else said, if you get the bottom tab loose then you can pull from the front and the rest will come off too. New covers popped right in. I ran the wiring zip tied to the cable bundle that runs over the radiator without issue. However, maybe I am just...

    CX-5 Ebay Fog Assembly DRLs

    Great. Thanks. Hoping to try this afternoon. Will actually take the entire panel off this time instead of half of it. I feel like Homer Simpson with my arm jammed into a vending machine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    CX-5 Ebay Fog Assembly DRLs

    Couple of questions for the LED DRL install: 1. Does the existing plastic surround attach to the fog light assembly or does it just clip in like the new one will? It looks like there is a screw that attaches but I couldn't tell for sure. I checked the service manual and it does not have that...

    Maybe that's why I'm having such a hard time removing the plastic surround to replace with the LED DRL Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Fog light install

    Quick question. Does the fog light plastic housing physically attach to the fog light assembly at all, or does it just simply snap in around it?

    looking for used CX-5.. common issues to look for when purchasing private party?

    I just bought a 2014 GT with 23K miles about 6 weeks ago. Without knowing more about your specs (year, budget, etc) I would say most buyers would be happy with a 2014 or newer Touring trim. It has a good base set of features (especially coming from a huge Buick) and prices are reasonable...

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

    It shows as 7.0.something when you go into the service menu to view. For reference, I have an iPhone 6s on iOS 10.1 and 10.2 and both work good when playing via Bluetooth, Pandora, or Text.
