    2015 Mazda CX-5?

    That's your opinion. However, in the industry, your opinion is not considered the norm. The Automotive News article is not "pure speculation". It is reporting from a conversation, or multiple conversations, with one or more Mazda corporate personnel. The Automotive News staff did not make...

    Resuming Playback with 2014 CX-5 GT Tech Stereo and other issues

    And, did the dealer ask you if you were capable of driving the vehicle the way Mazda intended, or if you were capable of fully utilizing all the benefits of the vehicle? Or, did the dealer simply want to know if you could pay for the car?

    2015 Mazda CX-5?

    I don't know what you mean by speculation. Automotive News is the industry "bible". The information is obtained from manufacture representatives. http://www.autonews.com/article/20130826/OEM04/308269968/mazda6-cx-5-to-get-earlier-updates Believe it or not; but within the automotive industry...

    Resuming Playback with 2014 CX-5 GT Tech Stereo and other issues

    Right, it closed in the fourth quarter, but was "in escrow" for quite some time. If you're right about the buyers actually wanting to do something, and if they can actually do it, you'll be the king of this forum.

    2015 Mazda CX-5?

    You can probably take that with a grain of crap. Mazda already announced a change in infotainment/navigation systems for the 2015 6 and CX-5. The details will probably emerge next week at NAIAS.

    Resuming Playback with 2014 CX-5 GT Tech Stereo and other issues

    This is a somewhat more complicated than many believe. The software package was developed by the audio software division of Johnson Controls. Johnson Controls sold this division last year. I don't know if the software engineers went to the buyer or stayed with Johnson Controls. I don't know...

    2015 Mazda CX-5?

    Considering the 2015's don't go into production until next week, I don't expect the dealer to take delivery any time soon. The initial 2015's are expected no sooner than the end of February at the earliest. Also, the dealer is showing prices for these. I didn't think pricing was going to be...

    My 2014 Touring thoughts at 3,000 miles

    caf2461, it looks like you're comparing a 3 to a CX-5.

    Anyone think this might cure the ipod/usb/bluetooth/navigation issues?

    Bluepower is Swedish company that designs vehicle specific head units. The units mate up with steering wheel and rear view camera controls without needing any adapters, at least for the Euro vehicles. The radios are available with either North American or Euro radio bands. The U.S. price...

    Washer Fluid Pump

    Not a strange problem at all. The cars are shipped empty of non-necessary fluids; one of which is windshield washer fluid. The delivery prep is supposed to include filling the container AND PRIMING THE PUMP. It looks like your dealership missed this step. I'd take it back and have them do...

    Radio performance and USB Flash Drive / iPod Speed

    My Infiniti does this this every time the car has been sitting for more than 20 minutes. While it does not automatically start at the first song, it does cut off whatever else you're listening to. The ipod controller takes over everything else. BTW, the scan time for a 5.5 w/about 24 gb of...

    MP3 intergration

    Please, go ahead and rewrite the code so this gets fixed. If this was as easy as everyone thinks, wouldn't there be a fix by now?

    Radio performance and USB Flash Drive / iPod Speed

    If that means what I think it means, pretty much what KJO said, I guess any CX-5 purchase by me is now years delayed. Don't know if Mazda corporate reads this forum, but getting hosed by your radio/software provider is almost certainly going to cost you sales. Shame, because otherwise, the car...

    Considering a CX-5 as my first Mazda. Worth waiting til 2015 model?

    Dealer is either incompetent or dishonest. Mazda had announced to the public in July or August the CX-5 and 6 shift gates would be changed around the beginning of September. Mazda has also publicly announced the 2015s start production the second or third week of January 2014 and should be in...

    usb mp3 playlists?

    It sounds like the only way to know whether this works for a particular person is to make the USB drive the way you want it, then go to a Mazda dealer to see what happens during a test drive.

    usb mp3 playlists?

    Just to make sure I understand this, are you saying music can be set up in folders and sub-folders on a usb drive and can be searched on the head unit? Then, the "issue" becomes the start at the beginning of the drive every time you start the car. Is the "load time" reasonable? Can you have...

    A list of known CX-5 Stereo / Navigation problems

    Why? If the first "reset" wasn't the long-term fix, why have them do the same thing again? Unless, you want to return to the dealer in a few more days when the same fix no longer works.

    2015 Mazda CX-5?

    This is not a secret. Mazda has not only released the order dates to the dealers, but has published the production start dates in a "fleet sales" press release. I don't think we can help you if your local dealer is more concerned with moving their existing cars than making a customer...
