"Now if we could only get CarPlay nav on the heads-up display." That's my top/only wish for my 2018 CX-5 GT! After looking at what 2020 is offering, I am even more satisfied with my purchase ;-)

I ordered the same part, but was baffled by the wiring. There was another thread here where a member installed it. He never got around to detailing what he did. I'll keep my eyes here and see how you make out.

A friend has the pixel one and he wanted to see how it worked with AA, but I accidentally swiped past one of the permission screens and the car wouldnt recognize his phone. get the system to see that phone again. I then read a reddit post that recommended a restart of the Mazda system (back...

I cant say enough good things about the Mazda nav guidance in the hud. If I could get CarPlay to display there, it would make the implementation perfect (shirt of wireless). Maybe we should get a petition going. Id sign. Ill definitely be sending Mazda an email about it.

I have no personal insight into Mazda's corporate plan, but it looks to me that by releasing a small (at least so far) number of high end "luxury" models, they're simply testing the waters to see the demand for them. Someone on these forums posted earlier that Mazda sold most of their CX-5s in...

In 2020 the 2.5T will trickle down one or two lines. It's the regular strategy.

Without any distractions, I came upon a 6 or 8 foot aluminum ladder in the middle of my lane while at highway speeds in a hard rain. I didn't dare try and avoid it, so I went over it with my '97 MPV. I was fortunate that I had the split second to make a conscious thought of which action to take...

I'd suggest you check the settings in the infotainment system: settings/safety/traffic sign recognition, and make sure that's checked (the vehicle may have to be running). If that's not it, I'd look to make sure you have the latest version of iOS (12.1), and if that fails, then maybe a restore...

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I just read this in my CX-5_8GN8-EA-18A_Edition1 2018 manual. I think it explains how EPB and Autohold are related (bold mine), and how they can be automated. I've played with the auto hold and I liked it, but hardly use it. My comfort level isn't there yet. I...

Out of curiosity, which Mazda firmware do you have, and which version of iOS?

My experience with safelight was with my recently sold Mazda 3. It had the rain sensing wipers, and the replacement model failed to work. The dealer tried a new motor/sensor (what goes in the box behind the rearview mirror) after trying to adjust the sensor and no dice. If I hadn't sold it, I...

I'm curious how you did it Eagerly awaiting for your update on installation :-) It looks like you have to cut into the plastic (eek2) (first post)
