    I'd say you have small claims ammo there... I'm no expert but a contract is a contract

    Low RPM/rough idle when the car is cold and put in reverse

    Similar problem for me that turned out to be my air filter. When I changed it, I didn't lock it in completely. The gap was causing rough idle. I reseated it and closed the "lid" which completely fix it. ...Just in case this helps...

    Does the commander ring light up?

    Actually just curious. The other controls light up so I though just maybe mine was tweaked.

    Automatic wipers - yea or nay

    Yeah, a bit unreliable when the lighting is poor. It seems dusk type lighting is the worst. I agree about the snow too... When they work, it's pretty sweet. I keep mine on usually.

    Does the commander ring light up?

    Does the commander main control selector ring light up? Looks like it might but mine doesn't.

    Using with new Samsung Note 8 & it works great!

    So, I've had my Note 8 for two days now and have put it through its paces with my 2016 CX-5 Grand Touring (w/Bose and Nav). Compared to my problematic LG V20, this is working like a charm. I get connected immediately on startup without dropping. So far, Pandora, Aha, text messages, email...

    Mazda Touch-up Paint Pen

    Agreed on the pen. I have one and I have the white cx-5. It really does come out gray and uneven...plus the small pen-end doesn't work at all. Only the brush-end works.

    Carplay and Android Auto coming soon? Crossing fingers...

    Yeah, I'm holding out hope too, but my concern is the HU itself. I am doubting its ability to effectively run AA. It's pretty slow compared to others that I've seen that do run AA smoothly. I mean, no doubt it CAN as I've run the home-grown AA on mine, but whew... we have a slow HU. There's...

    Only using the hack version of AA... It works really well with the exception of phone call handling.

    Bluetooth Audio Issues

    I would factory reset your car's head unit. Wipe it and resetup your phone. Mine stutters on sound if it is set to connect and play when you start the car. The head unit is slow on startup and stutters until all loading is complete. It doesn't take long, but just long enough to bog down if BT...

    2016 CX-5 - Transmission/Idling Issues?

    I never thought of it as a tranny surge but I will pay more attention today on the way home. I think it is just a rough idle at this point.

    2016 CX-5 - Transmission/Idling Issues?

    Just chiming in that I've got a 2016 with about 18k miles that has terrible idle. I'm headed into the shop anyway, so I will have them look at it; but when at a stand still, either at startup or a stop light, I get dips and surges that almost feel like it will stall but it never does. Kind of...

    My Mazda dealership no longer carries Mazda!

    No, I didn't purchase that plan. Findlay said they can/will do all servicing like that, but just not warranty or recalls.
