    2016.5 Just added Android Auto: A few questions

    Hi So I finally did the upgrade through the dealer. Couldn't be happier. Firstly v70 fixes a few things (such as BT album art) and is snappier. But wow Android Auto, love it. I noticed a few things and wanted to share them to see if any solution would exist that I missed while researching this...

    Pixel 2 XL + Infotainment - Can't FF or REW on BT audio anymore

    Hi all, So I've finally replaced my Nexus for a Pixel 2 XL (on launch). I noticed some changes in behavior and I hoped some of you might have some answers. First of all, contact pictures are now working, yay! But while streaming BT audio, cannot fast forward or rewind anymore! It was working...

    Got 2016.5 today - A few questions

    Yup, I'm on 55 if I recall right. Seems to be the last stable one. I've read that version 59 is 1) for CX9 and 2) very bad. That being said, I've got another concern. Trafic info doesn't seem to work on the nav unit. Is there a catch to it? I've heard we have to use our cell phone as a mobile...

    Got 2016.5 today - A few questions

    Hey all, I finally moved from my 2014 GS to a 2016.5 GS. So far, I love the upgrade, and for cheaper too! I have a few questions I was hoping to get answered. 1) I hear a squeak from the infotainement unit when I take some bumps. Very audible. I was thinking it would go away in a while since...

    [Rant] My CX-5 may be my last Mazda, even if I love to drive them

    So I've had a really good sleep and I've read all answers. Yeah I was pretty heavy with the "impact". I have to agree, it sucks, but hey, it's a radio. For Zero Emission, yeah I know the emission are just "moved" but I still think hydro is better than gas. That being said, if I'm not happy I...

    [Rant] My CX-5 may be my last Mazda, even if I love to drive them

    Hi all, I just wanted to rant a little bit about Mazda. I know the entire car industry is kind of late in everything. But right now, as much as I loved my 2004 Mazda 3 and as much as I like my 2014 CX-5, it looks like this will be my last Mazda unless they wake the f*ck up. We're now over a...

    Need opinion - Moving from CX-5 2014 to CX-5 2016

    Hi all, Thanks for the replies. I think I'll stick with my current car. I love it and a radio is not a reason to change, even if the radio is crappy like only Mazda can do it.

    Need opinion - Moving from CX-5 2014 to CX-5 2016

    I only have the monthly amounts. They basically exchange the car for the added amounts I mentionned.

    Automatic transmission decides to take a break

    Went to the dealer yesterday. They weren't able to reproduce the problem but they had a service bulletin for the exact same problem. The guy said it was to "relearn" the transmission program or whatever. I'm glad they "fixed" it but I am amazed that such a dangerous behavior was only fixed in...

    Automatic transmission decides to take a break

    Hi all, I will call the dealer today. I did not have a check engine, or any warning light for that matter. It's a 2014. Conditions were normal. Light snow on ground, No precipitations, -5C, was entering a highway on a flat entry (negligible rise).

    Automatic transmission decides to take a break

    (Fixed~ish) Automatic transmission decides to take a break As I was driving to get on the highway, I noticed the transmission was not changing gear. So I decided to go into manual mode to see at what gear I was. Turns out I was at "nothing" gear. No numbers were shown at all. The car lost all...

    Lost connection with the dashboard / gages

    Hi all, I am reaching out to you to see if anyone has the same problem as I do. My CX-5 had just a little short of one year usage when, while driving, I lost connection with the dashboard (the gauges). All warning lights that could light up were on, all gauges were put at 0 (RPM, Speed, etc.)...

    Text Messaging not working

    I had a similar issue and fixed it. It was due to the stupidly low memory of the head unit. I found out that I had too many SMS messages history and since the stupid head unit tries to download every single one of them, it runs out of memory and gives the error (my assumption, being IT). Try the...

    Problems found - please provide solutions

    I will change it right now. That's odd, I though I did it earlier. I changed it but only inside the thread it shows "Radio Unit - Known problems". The thread itself doesn't seem editable.

    Problems found - please provide solutions

    Hi all, Some good news. But a good chance I work in IT because finding this would have been impossible. The problem #4 where contacts were merged is fixed. Here is why. Don't worry, I won't do into IT nerdy stuff. Basically, the contact that was merging with another had all of his address into...

    Problem : Wipers and snow

    I am using it with "legs" too since my windshield defrost button doesn't stay in place (have to go to dealer for that). I usually wait for the bottom to be entirely made of water drops.
