    Sirius back on for free 8/27 - 9/9

    Sirius is turning on 60 channels for free through September 9. The downside is it looks like if you never activated before it still wont work. As I never started up my initial trail period mine started out this morning downloading updated channel list and then just ran their single "sign up"...

    too many of them

    It is official, there are too many CX-5's out there now. Last weekend we walked up to the wrong one in a parking lot. Realized at about 5 feet away that it wasn't the right white CX5.

    How much do you use manual mode on the AT?

    I'm curious how often everyone uses the manual mode on the automatic transmissions. I've only used mine occasionally. Mostly when I want to jump across traffic and don't want it to up-shift in the middle. I've tried it on a more regular basis but I either forget to up-shift enough or find it...

    hood no longer bounces

    Took mine in to the dealer yesterday and they did the fix on the hood and it no longer bounces. I guess it might move the slightest bit but if I weren't looking for it I'd never notice it now. It was funny, when I called to check on it they said "we verified your diagnosis and it is being...

    Automatica USB

    this looks kinda cool. But for $100 I can probably just keep a couple USBs on hand and switch them out as I change music. https://automaticaweb.com/

    slow to react temperature readout

    It is just under 100 degrees right now and when I got in the car and started it the readout said 81. I realize it doesn't instantly change, but the problem is typically when it gets noticeably hotter between when I park and start it again it takes about 45 minutes to get to the right...

    really hard shift into drive and back into park

    Had a weird occurrence yesterday. I'd just changed the oil and filter. About 15 minutes later started it up to go somewhere and it was seeming to idle a bit higher than normal for a cold start (about 75 out) but not much, couldn't have been over 1200-1500. Let it idle for 10 seconds or so...

    tech package turning headlights

    I had no idea they were this cool: I thought they'd move back and forth just a little bit.

    fixed a rattle (or what's that clickin' noise?)

    I'd had a noise that was getting more and more common and noticeable. It came from both sides and sound like it was coming from the dash or lower a-pillar. It was still intermittent enough that I figured it wouldn't do it if I took it to the dealer. After a lot of listening and pressing on...

    most range left after 200 miles

    Just curious, what range does the computer show for you after you've gone 200 miles after a fill-up? Wondering what the differences will be for different people in different driving conditions. Mine can vary widely based on how I drive

    wire for ambient light

    anyone know of a good wire to tap into to add ambient lighting to the interior? I want to add a couple very dim leds to under the dash and pointing at the center console (similar to what our Mazda3 has). I added a couple to my old Tacoma but it was easy, I just tapped into the wire for the...

    anyone have the nose mask?

    if you do, what do you think of it? My commute is largely multi lane freeway and the front of my CX5 isn't looking great. unfortunately staying back from the car in front doesn't do much good when other cars are zipping by on the sides and cutting through in front.
