I tried to get a 2 inch hitch installed by the dealer but they said that they only install the OEM 1.25 inch ($900)! I am going to haul 2 70lb. ebikes and the hitch rack is a 2” and specifically says to not not use a 2” adapter. So went with an aftermarket 2” hitch. Under the bumper which...

Med Center Mazda has the 17x5.5 17 steel wheel for $108.41.

What size of slot width fits the CX-5?

I use the same mounting option and I bought one of these chargers for my iphone. Plenty long enough to reach the phone (plus cool blue light at night);) There are other models for mini usb as well.

Keep trying. It took me about 7 to 10 tries before I got it. Check out youtube vid (shows mazda 3 but it still works on cx5. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Uc5GsAsoJb0

Installed rear bumper protector on my 2017 CX-5.

Iphone 7 Plus with ios 11.1.2 and no issues with bluetooth or usb cable. You might want to try a different usb cable.

It is a setting in the Navigation app and yes it will drive you nuts after a little while. I turned it off. However, if you are driving in a city or town that you're not familiar with it could keep you from getting a redlight ticket.

You have to remove the foam blocks from underneath the spare tire cover and the cover sits perfectly flat. The new spare tire fits just fine in the spare tire well.

Replaced my "small" spare tire with a larger tire and rim following the suggestion by 'bigtex' in the CX-5-Wheels-Tires-Brakes-amp-Suspension section here. Nice to know that if and when I get a flat I have a spare that I can use on the front or rear and not damage my drivetrain if I have to...

Got the rim and tire recommended by the OP. Perfect fit in the spare tire well. Removed the foam pads and rear panel cover sits flush. I feel better now that if and when I get a flat I can use it on the front or rear and not damage my drivetrain. Thanx!
