Something I saw on Midlands Today (Evening Local News in my area) was to put cat litter in a sock and leave on the dash!! This also helps to absorb moisture keeping the inside of the windscreen clear. Rubbing alcohol premixed and sprayed on the windscreen the night before also helps to keep...

TBF the car does take a while to get while to get warm especially when directed into the footwells, noticed this more so this morning as it was fairly cold and my feet were freezing. Was nice to get into the office even after the New Year break:-(

Not a problem for me this morning, deiced the windscreen with the engine running and the windscreen demist operating, put the rear heat on to defrost the outer edges of the windscreen too. No more than 2 minutes and I was off. Took about 10 mins for the camera to clear but that's normal. I'm...

No idea, but I did wonder why there is no manual adjustment, even if it is just to lower them. I'm using the dealers 2018 demo at the present time and the 1st time I drove with a back seat passenger I was being flashed at by oncoming cars, much like Jonno above. I did notice however it was...

Why thank you, much appreciated.

Are there any online links to the brochure? I'm getting a replacement 2019 CX-5 and whilst the specs will be completely different the interior styling will be similar. Wouldn't mind taking a look at the changes.

I'm a UK owner and took delivery of a Sept 18 car and the radio turns off when shutting the engine down and there doesn't seem to be an option to change this but TBH this is my preferred option. I've not noticed any smells through the vents when operating the washer jets, I'll keep an eye on...

Did you get a ferrite core with the camera for the cable to pass through? I got a Nextbase 512GW front and rear camera, each cable has a ferrite core. Don't know if they actually work mind as I've not had either camera installed as yet.

I guess that this will include us here in the UK and with new engines too, not good news for owners or Mazda corp.

I was browsing youtube the other day whilst my car is in the garage and came across this, doesn't show you how to replace it but does show the removal, the car is the new 2017 model but I'd guess that it would be similar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82XLHGnoQHA

I'm currently in a CX-3 from the dealership whilst they look into the issues I have with my CX-5, I've noticed that you get a rather smart voice warning for speed cameras and it tells you to reduce speed if you're exceeding the limit. In the CX-5 can't you uncheck the box for speed warnings...

Well I collected my car on the 9th only to have a warning issued as I drove away from the dealership as below, this showed up a scratch on the gauge cluster that I wanted investigating I took the car back to them today and they are going to look in to it to get the cover changed. Dealer did...

TBF I'm not certain it looks like it may be on the inside as I cannot feel a the scratch. It's barely visible in daylight but in darkness with the light behind it's fairly prominent and catches your eye. The dealership called this morning in relation to the 'System Disabled Due To High...

Well I bit the bullet and let them go ahead and install APC prior to collection and they've done a great job. Mine was only the 2nd install that they had done and the sales person advised that the 1st was a bit of a pain for them and they had to remove the display unit for a 2nd time to...

Evening all Collecting my new Mazda tomorrow after having a few minor delays in delivery, was hoping to collect a week last Friday but it only arrived at the dealership yesterday and they are installing Apple Carplay today/tomorrow "It's a big job" they say so tomorrow is the day. I did post...
