Maestro SWI connections I'm looking to install a new Kenwood unit using the Maestro RR into my 2015 CX-5 Touring. Has anyone found a nice clean way to install the following connections: 1. Reverse (someone in another thread showed a photo of a pin connection on the main factor connector...

Appreciate all the info everyone! I'm definitely stopping every 2 hours at Rest Stops/Welcome Centers/etc. But after 10 hours, my upper back/shoulders are hurting. Just wondering if I go from a 2015 cloth seat to a 2018/2019 leather seat, would I notice a comfort improvement? = Michael

I've got a 2015 CX-5 Touring with cloth seats. I find in long haul trips (8-10 hours) the seats become uncomfortable. I've added supplemental lumbar support and even a neck pillow. If I understand correctly, GT seats were different. Better? Are the new seats introduced with the 2017 model...

I've towed up to the 2000lb limit once without any issues doing a Home Depot run. I've also towed a lightweight (900lbs) pop-up camper and could hard tell it was back there. I think my highway mileage was around 23mpg doing 65mph.

Did the amount of wind-noise from the mirror area change after the the update? I took my 2015 in and a "fix" was applied. Vibration was fixed, but wind-noise seems to be higher? == Michael

I had my mirror vibration fixed at the dealership. No vibration up to 70mph. I did notice that wind noise from the mirror is higher. Not happy about that! Michael

I started noticing a vibration/rattling noise coming from the driver side center air vent on my 2015 Touring. It is definitely impacted by the fan speed, air flow direction and is getting worse. I'm nearing 3000 miles and before I take it into the dealer, I was wondering if anyone else has...

I'm running a Samsung Galaxy S4 (Verizon) w/ Android 4.4.2. As long as I don't have ANY MMS messages it works fine. If I have any MMS messages on the phone, I get the failure to download message. Bluetooth phone, audio streaming and Pandora all work fine.

I've been doing some experimenting with my Samsung GS4 phone (US, Verizon with latest updates). I'm finding that if I have MMS text messages, the NB1 head unit will refuse to download the messages. If I only have SMS text messages, I have yet to have it fail to download. This may explain why...

Just picked up my JDM Cloth Sand headrests from the Post Office. They look awesome. Now the seats fold without the headrest hitting and looking out the back using rearview mirrow is less obstructed. Thanks Fendyman! == Michael

(cool)(yippy)

Ok, has anyone with the light Sand Interior added the Black OEM Soft Cargo Liner? How does it look when it comes over the rear seat and under the headrests? I'm wondering if the Tan Canvasback cover would be a better choice for the light interior. == Michael

I want to get either the Mazda OEM Soft Cargo Liner (0000-8K-R05) or the Canvasback Cargo Liner for my CX-5 with Sand interior. The Canvasback has two "advantages", if you want to call them that. 1. Can get it in Mocha/Tan color (or other colors) 2. Doesn't go under headrests, do can't be...

I had the same problem today. Went to Home Depot to pick up a few large items. Tried to lower the seats and dang it, the headrest hits the front seat on both sides. I also found I want to buy the soft cargo cover to protect the seat backs. == Michael Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

TomTom released v930 Maps yesterday. Haven't seen a list of changes. I downloaded them as my free upgrade on my new 2015 CX5 Touring FWD. == Michael
