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

    Just called mine 2 secs after my last post with the model # to order, and the tech service bulletin # and they were like, "oh, you just had your oil then shock/strut replaced with squeaking. This was a problem too?" Um, yeah, it's been a problem for the last several model years and I knew about...

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

    Sorry, long day since I had just gotten my CX5 back the day before on a technical service notice on squeaking shocks and saw only the 2013... That'll learn me for not reading the "-15" as through 2015 model.

    Cx5 Suspension squeaks unresolved

    Yeah, looking at the invoice, it's "technical service bulletin # 02-003/14: xekcharx .4 82 9G" The 82 9G part was on a 2nd line off from the rest of the bulletin number so wasn't sure if it was related. The part # appears to be "KR27-28-910B Damper RR" at N/C and "Rerar 156 W" at N/C...

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

    Saw my 2015 CX-5 Touring isn't on the list, but I've connected multiple different usb drives to the USB port and it's never picked up from last song and always defaults to the first song on the drive. Anyone know if this replacement would cover that or am I just boned? Sidenote- about 20% of...

    Cx5 Suspension squeaks unresolved

    Just had my back right shock making that squeaking sound. Wouldn't do it over every bump, but it was common enough to notice. Took it in for the 10K oil change and mentioned it, they saw the factory notice on the problem and ordered the replacement in. Have had my CX-5 Touring less than 9mo...

    2013~2016 CX-5 squeaky power door lock actuator?

    Been having that issue lately too... driver door, usually when pulling to a stop after driving and hitting all door unlock on the door panel. Thanks for the heads as I thought I was just going crazy imagining that.

    Navigation Audio - No USB Folder list

    Nevermind. Found VLC free download online and it did the trick. Not sure why, but creating a playlist using the in house iTunes wm3 file wasn't recognized, but when I did the same using VLC, dropping the playlist into there from the file I had created of the mp3s, then exporting that to my USB...

    Navigation Audio - No USB Folder list

    There a iOS version of this? Some of us finally migrated away from Windows and can't get it to work. Thanks in advance!

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    Got it. That makes sense. As for out of state, nah, they'll hit you every which way. I purchased in IN when living in IL and IN got their sales tax then IL wanted their cut too, so it was almost like double indemnity. When we moved from Chicago to WI, the state (WI) tried to tell us we owed...

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    Had good credit (over 750) and they didn't hit me with a $500 0% fee in WI. Not even a mention of it. Is it possible that was their way of backdooring any loss on MSRP markup? I was nearly dead on with the True Car via USAA here, but they said the nearest dealer was in IL, where the tax rate...

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    Just picked up my first Mazda Saturday. 2015 CX-5 Touring with Bose/Moonroof. Didn't really care for the Bose, but wanted the moonroof after driving my old 2004 Corolla into the ground with 115K miles. Also got the all weather mats/wheel locks at invoice. MSRP: $28,230 Service Fee: $179...
