    Considering upgrade to Apple CarPlay

    Chicago near west suburb - $425 out the door for Apple Play. I felt really stupid paying that amount. Nearest 2 dealers $525. That made me feel a bit better. 1400 miles later, Im darn pleased I did it. - Its all relative. Long drives are a dream (nav - Waze, podcasts). Chicago inner city...

    Navi Comparo: CarPlay vs. Mazdas

    CARPLAY & MAZDA...! Most of my driving is city. I like Waze, been using it for years. I use Waze without sound. The sound is annoying and its easy to visually check the next turn on the screen. I use the Mazda nav with no destination and set and volume at approx 25% to warn me of speed zones...

    Enable touchscreen while in motion *not a hack*

    The Podcast function concerned me too. No worry. Its a dream with the knob. I use it with the usb (havent tested Bluetooth). Whole in Podcast mode: I push the knob (to 12 oclock) and it presents a progress bar which can be forwarded (push to 3 oclock) or set back (push to 9 oclock) 10 or 15...

    I like the control aspect of engine braking (2017 CX5 GT) Does engine braking add wear and tear on auto transmission?

    New AA \ ACP Thread (with Poll)

    Yea... it would be cool to try. Like HUD and Auto-Hold... these improvements didn’t hold much attraction for me, until I bought my 2017 - they are very nice indeed. - Kinda like the electricity & the lightbulb.

    2017 CX-5 GT wipers suck

    I cleaned and clean the OEM wipers and they never gave me a clean swipe in freezing temps. Bought the Bosch EN24OE and EN18OE and what a difference. I noticed that the Bosch display also had EN24 & EN18 which may not have the #6 adapter so be sure you get the “ENxxOE” packaging. My wife said...
