Hello guys. Long time lurker here. I'm having an issue with the electrical system with my CX5. After washing the car the blind spot indicator sometimes flashes with the turn signal and it seems after it dries out it goes away. This was livable but now the problem seems to have worsened with...

Hey guys. I thought I'd chime in here. My 2013 CX5 with 60K miles on it is starting to really haze over on the top part of the lights. It seems 4-5 years of sun exposure is enough to start the aging process. Its parked in a garage every evening but stays outside in the sun at work. I've tried...

Hey guys! I have 2 CX5s...my 2013 CX5 GX Manual is still pretty young at 59K miles on it but I just picked up a 2013 CX5 GT with 107K miles on it for cheap. From the consensus I've read on here these are very reliable vehicles and the one with 107K drives just as good as my GX with 59K. I...

Count me in! I already looked at Walmart in Minnesota and South Dakota and they're not there yet.

I would post them but it's really hard to hear. I'm trying to get new footage where music isn't playing in the background. I'm discussing with my service advisor tomorrow since it's going in for an oil change anyways. I'll let you know what they find (if anything).

UPDATE: I've now put just under 20K kms (12,400miles) on the updated transmission and the grinding going into 2nd has resurfaced in certain driving conditions. It seems the syncros aren't matching the rpms. It's going in this Fri but because the condition happens randomly under hard acceleration...

Hi Chris. I would like a copy of your service manual once my donation is posted. Thanks for all you've contributed to this amazing forum! :)

Wow it's nice seeing all the PC enthusiasts here! I'm running an Alienware 15 R3 (6700HQ, 120hz panel, 1070, 24GB RAM, 1TB SSD)

VERY Nice! Thanks for sharing! it's giving me inspiration to keep hunting for a DDX9903 for my CX5. :) I've never done sound unsulation before. Has anyone tried pulling the roof liner and doing that as well? it sounds pretty thin up there. :S

Thanks for the input. Do you have a brief rundown of what information the iDatalink displays with the CX5? I'm thinking of going that route too. Hoping to pick up a DDX9903S. Thanks!

Drinking the Jeep kool aid, eh? VW owners are the same way. I was one of them...I kept coming up with excuses on how solid the cars were and how quiet they drove...when they weren't in the shop sucking me dry. :S Thankfully I've come to my senses and bought the CX5. :)

I too came from a TDI...2005 Passat TDI wagon I converted to a manual transmission and modded. I don't miss the repairs one bit! 4th TDI and I'm done giving VW money...I have no remorse for them. I couldn't be happier with the nimble 2013 CX5 with a slick manual!

I too would like to know how MaestroRR works with the CX5 Dmac43!

tibimikai. Do you have any pics of your install? I'm looking at a Kenwood DDX9703S and JL Audio speakers. What trim plate did you go with for the deck?

Interesting. The base model GX in Canada has heated mirrors. Mine doesn't have a single option (6 speed manual) and they're heated...odd.

Does anyone have an update to the actuator quacks? My 2013 has been doing this since I can remember...just wondering if there's an updated part to remedy the problem. Thanks!

I think I'll certainly look into a good synthetic gear oil after. Talking with the dealer the first batch of manual transmissions some were known to have manufacturing defects. That being said I don't know if friction additive would have helped or prevented it. I'm just happy that they fixed the...

Hey guys. I noticed that under WOT shifting from 1st to 2nd above 5500rpm it would ALWAYS grind even with the clutch fully pressed firmly to the floor. I have just over 54K kms (34K miles) on my CX5 GX Manual. I took it into the dealer. After looking at it they told me they'll order some parts...
