    2017 CX-5 Phone Mount Options

    And the ProClip model appears to only be for models with the CD player, so no use to those of us in the US.

    Difference between auto hold and stop and go cruise control

    Autohold - when active, you can take your foot off the brake when stopped and the car won't disengage the brakes until you hit the clutch or gas. Used so you can rest your foot while stopping in traffic, leaving the car in gear. MRCC with Stop & Go - Your car can slow itself to a complete stop...

    How old is the transponder? At least where I live, it's got a battery. They guarantee the battery will last 3 years, and I think the expectation is it can fail at around 5 years. If the transponder is 5+ years old, consider replacing it.

    Best color for '17 CX-5?

    Still working up to purchasing a CX-5 - need to make sure a few other things are all lined up first. Color choices have me vexed, because I'm planning on a GT with the Parchment interior. I would love Sonic Silver to help hide the dirt, but you can't get it with the Parchment. So I'm torn...

    No coasting in 2017 AWD GT?

    I believe the Prius is designed to coast because the brake pedal doesn't *just* engage the brakes. With a light tough, the brake pedal engages the regenerative braking system that uses the electric motors as generators - they slow the car and generate electricity to charge the batteries. Only...

    Love Hate Relationship in less than one Week

    It does not. The TPMS only warns you when it detects a tire that is low, it does not display pressures. Time to get out a tire gauge.

    Carplay and Android Auto coming soon? Crossing fingers...

    That I have no idea about. Though when playing music from the Music App, Waze prompts come through loud and clear. They don't get cutoff by the music, the music fades and (I think) pauses as the prompt is given, then it continues.

    Carplay and Android Auto coming soon? Crossing fingers...

    When I'm done using Waze, I put it in Sleep Mode so it stops tracking my location until I fire up the App again. 1. Tap the Magnifying Glass in the lower left. 2. Tap the power icon in the upper right. Waze will be in sleep mode until you relaunch the app.

    Carplay and Android Auto coming soon? Crossing fingers...

    Yes, Apple CarPlay lets you display and use Apple Maps on your infotainment screen. It does not let you use Waze or Google Maps on your infotainment screen. :( So better than nothing, but ever with it I want a phone mount up on the dash so I can run Waze and see it there.

    2017 CX-5 Phone Mount Options

    Is there enough space behind the screen that you could slide a metal piece in there so that it extends to the left of the screen where a mount clip could be attached? It might need to have a couple bends in it to bring it further from the dash, but it would place the phone in vertical...

    2016 CX5 better "driving machine" over 2017

    Thanks paging_drburgos; I'm currently considering the CX-5, Forester, CR-V, and maybe the RAV4. So a little down market from what you were looking at. :) The CX-5 tops my list because of the HUD, and tow rating. The Subaru is probably second due to the brand following up here in Maine...
