    Buying used 2016.5 CX-5 - how to tell if car has i-ActiveSense package?

    It will not be 3-D. It will be inside a glossy black oval. Sort of how things look inside a resin cast. It looks this way so they can add the radar behind the emblem on the grill.

    2017 lane keep assist

    It's almost not noticeable on the CX-5. On my Mazda6 it really fights you to stay in the lane. It's not a big deal to me, but I think I prefer the CX-5 small nudge to the Mazda6 pull.

    Smart City Brake Support Tested

    Not related to CX-5 but on topic, I also had the SBS engage on the highway on my Mazda6. I was cruising along and was coming up on traffic that was stopping. I was braking already and timing it so I would stop about 1/2 a car length behind traffic. It was gradual, as I had about 1/2 a mile to...

    2017 CX-5 Pics Thread

    There is a left and right radar signal that shows up when you have someone in your blind spot. It pulses and turns orange when you signal as well. I don't remember seeing anything relating to bridges when I use my nav.

    2017 CX-5 drl question

    That actually doesn't look too bad. We don't have that LED in US spec.

    2017 CX-5 Pics Thread

    The arrows in each is indicates which of the 5 lanes you can be in to continue on the route. In reference to the first picture, you can be in either of the 4 left lanes. The right lane is exit only and will take you off the route.

    Live Traffic 2017

    When I had my CX-3 there was a HD Traffice Map on the Applications menu. This showed a rough overview of live traffic at least for the highways. I haven't looked, so maybe this app is in the CX-5 too. Would the NAV read this data?

    Tires for latest gen Mazda6 19"

    Great to hear on snow performance. They have done well in the rain so far. For the price, they're a deal.

    2017 DRL/signal light emulation

    Here is a quick quote from the US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108. Sourced from http://jalopnik.com/heres-why-modern-cars-turn-off-one-of-their-lights-when-1792394567 Why can't Mazda just turn the DRL off when signalling instead? Or how did they skirt around these rules?

    2017 DRL/signal light emulation

    Here is a quick video I took of my CX-5 GT with headlights on and hazards. Since we know the DRLs have the headlights on as well, but slightly dimmer, this should work as a quick reference. I'm concerned with the bright headlights the turn signal light will get lost or unnoticed. What do you...

    2017 CX-5 Driver's Seat Bolster - Rubbing

    Definitely seems like it has to do with the seat being centered with the steering column. It was something they mentioned as not being very common among other cars.

    2017 CX-5: Initial Review

    That's probably because of the placement of the camera. Since the camera is set low the HUD angles high. Like putting your seat to the floor.

    Advanced Keyless Entry Annoying w/o Touch Sensors??

    The walk away lock feature has 2 beeps. There's the car acknowledging you are outside of the car and all doors are closed beep. Then when you are far enough away it will lock and beep again. When I leave the car I make sure to hear the first beep before walking away. If I don't it's probably...

    Advanced Keyless Entry Annoying w/o Touch Sensors??

    I have mine programmed to unlock all doors when the button is pressed. My wife and I are always riding together so it makes it easier. This can be done in the settings menu of the system.

    3rd Mazda new '17 CX-5

    Here are the instructions from the Mazda6, which should be the same for the CX-5. If you hear a triple beep, then the car isn't saving it. Probably because It's not fully On. I don't believe it'll save in Acc.

    2017 CX-5 drl question

    Has anyone tested the effectiveness of the turn signal during the daytime with the DRLs? Looking closely, the turn signal is pretty small and on the inside of the headlights. I haven't checked with mine yet, but probably will when I have some time. Since the headlights are on, the contrast...

    2017 gt

    I'd like to mention I have a GT with premium, but my interior is black on black. I've looked hard for the espresso accent pieces and compared to images online, but everything is black. Not a concern to me because I like it, but strange there's variances.

    Tires for latest gen Mazda6 19"

    I just installed BFG Comp 2 A/S. They looks extremely nice and improved handling a bunch. Road noise is about the same as the Dunlops. I hope to use them in the winter in light snow, but we'll see how that goes.

    2017 CX-5 drl question

    This is going to further confuse those drivers who drive at night with just their DRL and don't realize their headlights aren't on. Even dim the headlights are extremely bright for daytime.

    2017 CX-5 drl question

    I can confirm my wife's 17' CX-5 GT (w/o premium) has the headlights on with DRLs. I noticed it the other day when we both left for work. She was following me and I saw her bright LEDs when going over some hills. I called her and double checked if it was set to Auto, and it was. It didn't seem...
