Forgive me for not having sources (there are various posts and claims that are searchable), but I have come across claim that the reason we weren't offered real-time traffic in the NAV system was because of a contract disagreement with the provider in the US. Thus, Mazda yanked that portion...

But the question was if a resistor was even needed for the '16 with Tech, as the main heads and trails are already LED. No sense in buying anything with resistor pre-wired if it is not needed.

I would concur with the positive comments about the Tech package. The keyless entry is great - leave the key in my pocket and don't touch until I am getting changed in and out of uniform. It also has auto lock, so the doors will lock shortly after exit. It won't allow you to lock your keys...

In my Touring w/Tech, the options are in the Connect system. I can turn them off and on via Vehicle Settings. When I was trying out the GT, it seemed the same.

The Owner's section usually has the manuals provided. I go there first because they are .pdf and searchable. Anything on the UK site?

I got 50% in the 1 1/2 hour drive-time with Bluetooth and Wifi on, music playing via cloud and normal cell reception.

Again, I haven't had any problems with iPhone and Connect. Either USB or Bluetooth. Any way you can find the iOS 8.1 file via the net and downgrade using iTunes for your PC/Mac? (I don't know if this is still do-able.) Do you know anyone with an iPhone that you can borrow to ensure it may not...

Thanks! I wished I could have gotten the wheels, but they come on the GT model. I was going to have them add it, but at $800 a piece I was like, nah. I traded in my '14 Sport (I loved it, btw). There are quite a bit of new changes in the '16s that I am very pleased with (that aren't just...

I have never had a problem with getting a charge from my '14 CX-5 Sport, or '16 Touring Tech on any iPhone/iPod that I have used via USB. It's not a quick recharge, but if you are driving 30 min - 1hr, you will get a 10% or better charge. It will bring a dead battery back to life, but would...

Russian and Greek I know for sure. Chinese, no. (But not sure if Mandarin or Cantonese.)

I haven't had any problems with 8.2 and Mazda Connect system. It has worked well. I have had problems in the past with various devices being able to play back iTunes on my phone, I have found that it had something to do with iTunes Radio. Once I detached the USB, chose something on either my...

Mine did the same. When I popped the cover inside, the nuts just fell out. Just tighten them up and you're good to go!

Padwan, I installed yesterday. Taking off all panels was hands down the easiest part. The rest of the install was easy as well. All in all it took me about 30 minutes. I installed the camera and wifi transmitter into the reverse lights. While it works as it should, it does take a second for...

padwanjoe, I am attempting this with a similar cam in the next couple of days... I will let you know how it goes. Linked is the thread that goes over basic install instructions that I am attempting. http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123833868-Aftermarket-Backup-Camera-Running-Wires
