    Auto Lock Is Hit Or Miss

    I have it set to lock when the remote goes away from the car, however it doesnt always do it. Yesterday it got broken into and ransacked, all they took was a micro usb charging cable and left a mess. I use the word "broken into" lightly because the doors were unlocked when I got to the car...

    Can a Mt bike or road bike fit inside standing, with front wheel removed?

    The answer to everything. http://www.curtmfg.com/HitchLookup/find?year=2013&make=Mazda&model=CX-5&style=All Luckily our CX-5 came with a tow bar, but if I had to take the wheels off of my new Kona Process with through axles every time, I'd go nuts! Even the road bike with QR axles, is a pain.

    Terrible Brake Noise @ Slow Speed

    I have a noise coming from the front brakes, it's not a squeal as much it is almost a grinding. You hear it more from the cabin than outside and it's only noticeable at slow speeds, like in crawling traffic. Wondering if it's a common issue before I take it to the dealership.

    Mazda Fog Lights

    Try to find factory HID's, they are hands down the brightest lights I've seen on a car, like, insanely bright and the AFS is a cool feature. With the headlights on, it's almost impossible to see the fogs, but like others say, they look way cooler than black plastic.

    2014 CX-5 OEM Trailer Hitch

    All good points. I don't make a habit of having this many bikes on it, it's usually just mine or a multiple bikes for a very short distance when we do shuttle rides.

    2014 CX-5 OEM Trailer Hitch

    I've had 4 on it, 2 28lb mountain bikes and 2 full on downhill bikes, both 40+lbs, so the equivalent of 5 or more normal bikes and yeah, it was moving considerably more than when it's just my mtn bike or road bike, but didn't seem like it was going to come off or anything. I think these hitches...

    Fixing those wimpy CX-5 Exhaust Tips...

    Paris, I had them ordered from a local exhaust shop. They had a 9 inch model in stock, but it was too long. I believe it was a 6 inch tip I went with. I didn't want to go that route of installing over existing tips, however it is much more cost effective and easy. One way to help that look...

    Exhaust Tips

    I removed the OEM tips and welded on these 3.5 inch polished tips. They are a no name brand but high quality, they look exactly like the ones that Racing Beat uses. Not sure of the inlet size but it did require a small coupling. I believe the length was 6 inches. Had them tucked up as close as I...

    $120 to remove the old tips, buy and install these. They are similar to the racing beat tips, almost identical actually.

    2014 CX-5 Grand Touring Before: After: I just added 3.5 inch tips to fill out the arches and pulled them out a bit so they are flush with the bumper, but the rest is all stock. It's my fiance's car that I occasionally drive, so want to spruce it up a bit. Other than this I added a K&N drop...

    This is the first and probably only mod I will do to my new CX5, I will be installing a drop in K&N as well. Is 3 in the largest you guys think would work or would 3.5 in fill the bumper out better?
