    Need Help with Choosing New CX-5 Tires

    I have the touring model and have been tire shopping. I'm kind of an aggressive driver and the treads on the OEM Yoko are looking low at 33k miles. I'm looking at this currently which has great reviews and tire life for the price, but worried it might be too soft leading to worse sway. It...

    CX-5 - How to Build a Sleeping Platform

    Awesome guide thanks. I'm thinking about only applying the hinges on the back and having the bottom portion that sits in the cargo bay stay detached and just made to be form fitting. Anyone doing this should be aware that the police in any state will be pestering you if they can see that you are...

    Rust protection

    I didn't know anything about the rust protection (live in the US). I have already had to repair nearly a handful of rust spots on the 2014 model after just a year of ownership from little chips to the paint from debris on highways. It does rust very easily.

    Extra rust protection

    The charger port in the very back is always on!

    Just thought I'd let everyone know this, even though I know it is inconvenient. I installed a rear IPCam today which uses a cigarette lighter/charger port for power in my vehicle today and plugged it into the rear port on the back right. Pleasantly surprised to find that it is always on although...

    Samsung Galaxy SIII and CX-5 Bluetooth

    Why not just use the keyword to tell the phone to take a command directly is what I meant (S-Voice has that feature I believe which is on stock S3 and Note 2 phones). It would still play the audio through bluetooth and you wouldn't have to deal with the "ready, then beep" delay and honestly kind...

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    eBay has a ton of them for fairly cheap. http://www.ebay.com/itm/160745336338?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 NFC Task Launcher has many default profiles and is very easy to use. Free in the android market. Just choose your options, click save, and place your phone on the NFC...

    2014 CX-5 Hood TSB?

    Same here. The hood gets a little crazier at about 70 or higher. No noise, but it does make you wonder if it was closed correctly.

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Installed adjustable windshield mount for my Galaxy S3 and then put a little NFC tag which I programmed to turn off wifi, turn on GPS, bluetooth and mobile data, open spotify, dashcam voyager (dashcam to help prevent insurance fraud) and navigation, and tell me "Hello *name*" when I place in my...

    heated mirrors on touring

    So, to see if I have this straight, if I have a touring model with the sensor and would like to have heated mirrors, all I need to do is run 2 wires from door panel harness to the mirror assembly and connect them? I'm having trouble believing it is that easy.

    Blue engine cover...

    I don't think the 2014 with the 2.5L engine has the blue engine cover.

    Samsung Galaxy SIII and CX-5 Bluetooth

    I'm not on stock (ROM'd currently), but could you possibly set up your phone to use the S-Voice word command to tell it to take the command directly? For example, say your passphrase to start the voice command app on the phone, it will hear you speak directly and output its audio and result...

    Replacing the speakers- General thoughts on my install

    I think the touring comes with them (six speaker system is all I know for sure), but I'd have to check to be certain. But yes, I'm looking at replacing all of the speakers. Possibly the Dash unit eventually as well to a JVC.

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    I picked up the 2014 CX-5 Touring FWD for $26k flat after taxes, title, registration, etc. Paid cash, no trade in. I just sat the dealer down with my grandparents for an hour is all it took.

    Registered to say thank you for this thread. I'll be buying parts and planning to do the work in June, this is exactly what I was hoping for!
