I mount my phone with a strong hard drive magnet attached to the dash with adhesive tape and stainless steel collar stay cut in half mounted inside of my battery cover of my phone. I can change the orientation portrait or landscape and my phone is really just grab and go and I have an NFC tag...

You can't really open it that much, maybe half-way depending on the over hang of your board. It is easier just to access the back from the back seat either fold it down prior or after. I generally load the car 1st and board last and its the 1st to come off if I need access. I can also loosen...

Just wondering does anyone know if the 2014 CX-5 comes with Seat Memory tied to the FOB like the 2014 Mazda 6? This is one feature I would love to have with me be a tad over 6' and my wife just over 5'. I too also hope the 2013 Infotainment system is upgradable, would be cool if you could use...

I loved this feature on my Speed6 especially in the summer where you can press and hold the unlock button all four windows go ALL the way down and let out the heat before you get to the car. I was told the CX-5 and new Mazda 6 didn't get this because of the added cost and many user problems that...

The only thing I have on my CX-5 is a ding in the paper thin hood from an acorn while waiting in traffic. When the weather warms up I will pull out the ding. The front fender holds up fairly well to a deer collision - a $5K-$9K insurance payment for repairs. :( More on it here from Automobile...

I somehow "fixed" it. I don't know which solved it or it was a combination of things. 1st I opened and closed the SD slot cover for the TomTom. I then went into services and selected traffic. Several options were greyed out. I exited out and then re-entered again and then I had the ability to...

I had updated the software and maps about a month ago. I am thinking my wife may have turned it off. (I remember if you tapped something on the screen like the traffic bar you had the option to turn it off) She may have done it accidentally due to the slight delay of response from the nav from a...

I used to have Traffic delays showing up on the right hand side of my TomTom navigation display and it is no longer there. Is there a setting that turns this off and on? I have looked under services and it lists the traffic notifications as being on and when stopped, I can check traffic...

There is a spray called Nu-Screen HD $19 is an all-natural display screen polish specially formulated for electronic handheld devices. It's designed to leave a slippery smooth, non-greasy and shiny surface that minimizes fingerprints and smudges. A solid zero-moisture polish, it creates a...

It will be interesting and totally plausible to maintain the same MPG or even better with a manual transmission or even a 7 speed transmission as well using i-ELoop instead of an alternator and battery will have some significant MPG gains. There is going to significant price bump even in the...

That depends if the rest of the car was properly tuned,car's power output, chassis rigidity, suspension design and dimensioning, torque distribution between axles and is mostly noticed on cars with a power output in excess of 200Bhp. Usually, the more power a car disposes better handling/less...

I just use the free Sirius/XM app on my phone and connect via bluetooth. It even has more features than the built in radio: Start Now – Allows users to go back in time by up to 5 hours to hear previously aired programming on many channels TuneStart – Hear songs from the beginning when tuning...

I agree. It works fine when stopped. Another tick you off moment is that if you put your car into reverse(and the backup camera turns on) before confirming you have to enter it all over again... :(

Has anyone looked at getting snap on caliper covers like the ones from MGP (not the cheap glue on ones) to reduce brake dust?

The Toyo A23 19" that came stock on the Grand Touring are very quiet, even with the windows down.

TireRack has about 70 choices for the CX-5 now. http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/results.jsp?&autoMake=Mazda&autoModel=CX-5&autoYear=2013&autoModClar=Grand+Touring+AWD&filterFinish=All&filterSize=All&filterBrand=All&filterSpecial=false&filterNew=All&filterWeight=All&sort=Brand The View on...

Wow, when I picked up my CX-5 it was still covered in all the white wrap protective plastic sheets. The dealership pealed it all off in front of us and took the plastic off of the seats as well. They then brought it into the garage for prep before we test drove it. When we signed the paperwork...

I had a Mazdaspeed6, which was totaled from an accident where I was rear-ended. Wanted another car that had AWD, had a similar feature set(keyless entry,technology,decent sound system, etc. -miss the auto-down/up windows on all 4 windows and ability to automatically open all 4 windows with the...

Yeah, this bothered me as well. I found that if choose the air re-circulation button instead of outside air that seems to prevent the air from coming in via the center vents. I didn't check the manual if there is documentation on this, but this works for me on those cold mornings when I don't...

Mine came with the rack, the next one without one was a month wait and I kinda needed it ASAP. Personally I like it, it blends well with the Silver color of the CX-5 and follows the lines rather well. :)
