    Class-Action Suit Over Lack of Advertised Real-Time Traffic

    Forgive me for not having sources (there are various posts and claims that are searchable), but I have come across claim that the reason we weren't offered real-time traffic in the NAV system was because of a contract disagreement with the provider in the US. Thus, Mazda yanked that portion...

    The CX-5 LED Lighting Thread

    But the question was if a resistor was even needed for the '16 with Tech, as the main heads and trails are already LED. No sense in buying anything with resistor pre-wired if it is not needed.

    2016 Touring Tech Package (US) - Worth it?

    I would concur with the positive comments about the Tech package. The keyless entry is great - leave the key in my pocket and don't touch until I am getting changed in and out of uniform. It also has auto lock, so the doors will lock shortly after exit. It won't allow you to lock your keys...

    2016 Cx5 grand touring afs with tech

    In my Touring w/Tech, the options are in the Connect system. I can turn them off and on via Vehicle Settings. When I was trying out the GT, it seemed the same.

    The Owner's section usually has the manuals provided. I go there first because they are .pdf and searchable. Anything on the UK site?

    iOS 8.2 and 2016 USB Connection Problems

    Again, I haven't had any problems with iPhone and Connect. Either USB or Bluetooth. Any way you can find the iOS 8.1 file via the net and downgrade using iTunes for your PC/Mac? (I don't know if this is still do-able.) Do you know anyone with an iPhone that you can borrow to ensure it may not...

    Unicode display in 2016 CX5

    Thanks! I wished I could have gotten the wheels, but they come on the GT model. I was going to have them add it, but at $800 a piece I was like, nah. I traded in my '14 Sport (I loved it, btw). There are quite a bit of new changes in the '16s that I am very pleased with (that aren't just...

    2016 Mazda CX-5 USB phone charging... Does it work?

    I have never had a problem with getting a charge from my '14 CX-5 Sport, or '16 Touring Tech on any iPhone/iPod that I have used via USB. It's not a quick recharge, but if you are driving 30 min - 1hr, you will get a 10% or better charge. It will bring a dead battery back to life, but would...

    Russian and Greek I know for sure. Chinese, no. (But not sure if Mandarin or Cantonese.)

    iOS 8.2 and 2016 USB Connection Problems

    I haven't had any problems with 8.2 and Mazda Connect system. It has worked well. I have had problems in the past with various devices being able to play back iTunes on my phone, I have found that it had something to do with iTunes Radio. Once I detached the USB, chose something on either my...

    Rattle noise coming from rear hatch - SOLVED

    Mine did the same. When I popped the cover inside, the nuts just fell out. Just tighten them up and you're good to go!

    Aftermarket Backup Camera with Mazda OEM Screen

    Padwan, I installed yesterday. Taking off all panels was hands down the easiest part. The rest of the install was easy as well. All in all it took me about 30 minutes. I installed the camera and wifi transmitter into the reverse lights. While it works as it should, it does take a second for...

    Aftermarket Backup Camera - Running Wires

    Thank you both for input. I want to mount in between the gate door and the panel, so it won't be behind the metal in that case. I am a little concerned with the frequency, but willing to give it a shot. The only other option I would want to do at the moment is the GPS with Cam combo.

    Aftermarket Backup Camera - Running Wires

    TreyP, I am looking to do something similar and wanting your input. I have searched threads but yours comes closest. I am looking into a WiFi back up cam to use with my iPhone. I can't bring myself to drive automatic so I opted for less convenience with the Sport. I plan on routing the cam...

    Inaccurate Exterior Temp

    I also noticed this in the begining of having my CX-5. I was thinking the readings were consistently wrong, but I learned a few things. If the car is parked facing the sun (hood pointed in the sunlight), it will read up to 5 degrees warmer until the car is driven in streaming air. Also, one...
