Cranking the heater up would, theoretically, assist in dealing with excess engine heat. However, it creates the problem of overheating the passenger compartment. "Ha!" you say. "I'll just roll down the windows." But that will screw up the aerodynamics and put more load on the engine. Best...

Great info. Thanks!

Just left them. They don't rattle. I don't think that there's any place for them to fall out. (Unless, I somehow rolled my CX-5, in which case getting these LEDs back would be very small consolation.)

I don't want to be you. I lost a couple of LED interior lights there when I was installing them. (I'd set them on top of the instruction sheet on the dash, when a breeze came up and dumped them into the vents, just as you describe.) I thought about ways to get them, but gave up and the...

In my 2016.5, I tried to mount my iPhone in the upper left quadrangle you have. It was the perfect place for it. Didn't block any windshield vision. Didn't block any controls or indicators. Took only a minor glance from the level to read. Was easy to operate the touch screen while still...

Many thanks!

I've searched the forums and understand that one should try to have the latest updated Infotainment software, but I cannot find where to determine what the latest version(s) is(are). Here is what my system says (2016.5 CX-5): OS Version is 55.00.760 NA N Music Database Version is 00.05.000...

My dealer replaced the chrome vent trim with black. FREE. It's a warranty/safety issue. If a customer complains about the glare, the dealer can do a warranty replacement, per the factory. On another thread (which I can't find right now), there's a copy of the notice to dealers from the...

Based upon my so-far unsuccessful attempts with a cellphone holder, there are lots of adhesives that will come off of the dashboard, without leaving any trace. The real problem is to get them to stick.

#1. Agreed. It was driving me crazy. Dealer fixed it with a smile, once I showed them factory memo on the subject.

My life-long strategy has been to buy new and hold until they start to really fall apart.

Make them send you a set of lights, for using your picture without authorization.

I just finished installing (most) of the bulbs in my CX-5. TIP: DO NOT put the lights on the instruction sheet and put all that on your dashboard. In my case, a bit of wind came up and flipped the paper and three of the replacement bulbs when into the vent just in front of the base of the...

Thanks. I just bought a set for my new CX-5.

Yes. When I can't see anything in the side view mirrors because of the reflections, it's dangerous.
