    USB source audio only playing on right side sometimes

    Every so often, when playing audio from a usb stick, it only plays out the right side with no sound coming from the left. If I switch to radio (or cd) it plays both left and right...but if I go back to usb source it only plays right side. I take the usb stick out and replace it...same thing...

    My CX-5 no longer beeps or honks when locking via fob

    A few days ago I stopped in around back of my work and left my CX-5 running while I went inside to grab a can of coke from the vending machine with my fob on my person. I've done this many times without incident. Upon returning outside to my vehicle and opening the door, my CX-5 beeped several...

    Interior leather protection - how important is it??

    Hello folks, I own a 2014 GT with sand leather interior (apparently, I managed to purchase one of the last 2 remaining in Canada with sand leather as most GT's were manufactured with black leather....but I prefer the contrast). 18 months ago I picked some some Lexol leather cleaner and another...

    Rubber protector for door edges??

    I've noticed that the edge of my driver's side door is chipped from top to bottom....from me opening my door and nicking it against objects over time. Mazda paint leaves much to be desired, but I digress. Is there any such accessory as a rubber protector for the door edges (could slide on nice...

    Playlists out of order after Resume Play TSB fix

    I had the recent TSB for resume play for USB installed 2 weeks ago and now my playlists are out of order. Before, my playlists were in alphabetical order but now (after the fix) some are in order and some are not. Anyone else experiencing this?? Any way to fix this so that all playlists show...

    How often to you clean / protect your leather interior??

    I have sand leather inside my 2014 black CX-5 and have come to realize it can mark up over time. Picked up some Lexol cleaner and protector today and did the front seats and doors (the hand slot on the passenger door was getting rather dirty). How often are you folks cleaning and / or...

    Stereo automatically switching from USB mode to AM radio upon loading??

    Hello folks, Any of you use USB mode more than other modes as I do?? Sometimes upon starting my vehicle in USB mode (where I left off)...the stereo switches to AM mode while loading. Sometimes it stays in USB mode and resumes play, but when it switches to AM mode I have to physically switch...

    Scuffed up the black trim around the wheel-wells....any way to darken it back up??

    Hello fellow zoomers, Upon using an electric polisher, i accidentally scuffed up the plastic trim around the wheels. When I wipe it down with some 303, the marks are barely noticeable. But once it dries, the marks are a bit of an eye sore. Is there a product out that that will restore the...

    Mazda Canada and the USB fix

    I really wish Mazda Canada would get it's act together regarding the USB fix for resume play (among other things). This fix has been out for over almost 2 months now....yet I keep getting the run-around here in Canada. I spoke to Hands Free NA and they tell me it's been slow getting the fix...

    USB Error

    Hopped in my sled this morning to head to work and waited patiently for the USB stick to load my tunes. To my dismay, the screen said it was loading but then came back with the USB Error message. I'd been using this Kingston 16 gig stick for about a year now (since I bought it last February)...

    What color do you prefer for your CX-5??

    Initially I was leaning towards the Soul Red...but as I was getting closer to making my purchase, I concluded that it had too much orange in it for my liking (I would have loooooved a deep burgundy but the Soul Red wasn't burgundy enough for me). I ended up settling on Black Mica with the sand...

    Rust protection

    When I bought my CX-5 back in February, I opted for the rust/leather/paint protection (approx $800 if I recall). The rust protection was the electronic thingy that attaches to the battery and prevents positive and negative ions from forming (or so I was told). After doing some research online...

    Putting the summer OEM driver's floor mat over the liner??

    I really like the floor liners in my CX-5 as they are easy to keep clean. However, is it ok to lay the OEM summer mat over the floor liner on the driver side?? The floor liner is buttoned down whereas the OEM summer mat would not be buttoned down. I understand the warning that says one should...

    Track listing for CD's

    Is there a way to have the track listing displayed for while in CD mode?? I've had Back In Black....and Garbage (Version 2.0) in my player and neither will show anything about the CD...not the title, not the tracks, nothing. The main display simply shows the track # / total tracks...with the...

    Playlists for the USB??

    Can anyone explain playlists for the USB?? I can create a playlist on my computer (via my media player which is Media Monkey)....and I can export the playlist to my USB stick in the form of an M3U file....along with the MP3 files in the same folder. However, when I push playlists as an option...

    PDF Owners Manual for the CX-5??

    Is there a PDF posted anywhere of the owners manual for the CX-5?? I tried doing a search here but didn't come up with anything. Would like to be able to read it via computer without actually lugging out the hard copy from the glove box. Bon

    Hook for the undercarriage??

    Wasn't sure where to post this....so I figured Suspension was good. I've always knows previous Mazdas to have a hook underneath that was attached to the suspension so that the vehicle could be pulled (towed) out of a snowbank or a ditch....if so needed. I don't see one for the CX-5. I...

    No more sand leather with the Black Mica

    Was cruising Mazda Canada's website earlier today at work and noticed they no longer offer the sand leather interior for the black mica 2015 GT model. I bought my 2014.5 at the end of February, specifically wanting the sand leather on black mica (I really like the contrast). I was told by one...

    Replacing stereo...do I lose the backup camera??

    Losing patience with Mazda and the USB issue....so I'm giving some serious thought to ripping out the stereo altogether and going aftermarket. If I do this, will I lose the backup camera?? Or, will aftermarket stereos hook up to the backup camera that came with the vehicle?? Bon
