    2020 Jan map available...

    In my case, the 3-yr clock started ticking some ten days after we picked up the CX-5 on May 1st, so my expiry is May 11th, three years later. This would appear to support the idea that the clock starts ticking after 100 km / 63 miles when the vehicle or VIN registers/mates/locks to the SDcard...

    Poll Who has a CX-5 and a Miata?

    Love my trio of cars, the '13 power retractable hard top MX-5 hides seasonally in the garage under a cover while the '16.5 CX-5 and '12 GTI trudge through the Canadian winters and salt with Blizzak DM-V2s and Hakka R2s respectively. Decent snow storm in the Toronto area at the moment.

    2020 Jan map available...

    ^^^ Thanks for this way to check on map version after the download & install, and thanks to the OP for the heads up on the availability. Just back on Dec 28/19, I updated to the NA "June 2019" maps, so this was almost back-to-back for me. I hope there will be another one before mid-May 2020 as...

    CX-5 Android Auto / Apple CarPlay

    All done, guess the letter "B" does not show up after the "352" when checking afterwards. Please advise if otherwise.

    CX-5 Android Auto / Apple CarPlay

    Getting the retrofit done at the dealer right now on my Canadian 2016.5. Unfortunately their fancy coffee machine is down, but comfy customer lounge. Coming off my current 59.00.502 NA N, I was assured that I would be getting the latest 70.00.352B NA N update. Hope so.

    2017~2024 Oil drain plug stripped from dealer

    Fumoto FTW. Super simple and clean, no pan threads or Allen holes to strip, and no stress on oil pan gasket from torquing plug. Totally sheltered in the CX-5 set-up too. Using them on all my cars (MX-5, GTI and CX-5) for driveway DIY oil & filter changes. Same exact part number for all three...

    Power liftgate won't open after unlock

    I had the same problem with my 2016.5 CX-5 GX (November 2016 build) and just got back from the dealer who today installed the G33M-62-310B under warranty. The problem surfaced intermittently about a couple of months ago, and then seemed to go away, then returned. North of Toronto, so cold -...

    2017 GT snow tire question

    Winter Tires! This long-time, true believer is now fully re-invested with two brand-spanking new sets for the coming winter; today 205/55R16 Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2's onto the GTI, and five days ago 225/65R17 Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2's onto the CX-5. Bring on winter driving!

    Winter Tire Set

    Very popular winter tire choice, three very near neighbours also chose Continental WinterContact SI; for Golf TDI, Golf R and Civic sedan. The Civic guy is having his set put on today.

    First set of Winters. Need advice! Thanks :) so torn!

    No doubt, the WS80 is a fine winter tire choice. I am just wondering where/why this claim is coming from? EDIT: or are you just asking "if" and not "why"? Personally, I would say the CX-5 is a "SUV" more than a car, so go for the DM-V2 as several tire experts led to me to do. The wife was...

    2017 GT snow tire question

    My 2 cents... Some points: With the Blizzak, maybe consider the DM-V2 version instead of the WS80. It is more for SUVs, light trucks and minivans whereas the WS80 is more car oriented. The Hakkapeliitta 9 without studs (as it would have to be in London, southern Ontario) is probably not as...

    Winter Tire Set

    Barely in time for the wife's morning commute.... Just beat a Friday or first season-opener winter storm north of Toronto by getting the 225/65R17 Blizzak DM-V2 set on the day before.

    Winter Tire Set

    Getting colder out there... Looking forward to slapping mine on in two or three weeks, Toronto weather starting to change. In the meantime, my brother cut me some vinyl while messing around at his work...

    Winter Tire Set

    Not sure what year or trim your CX-5 is, but I think you might be OK based on the fact that at mazda.ca my M003 wheel (label pic below) shows up as an accessory purchase for both 2010 Mazda 6 and 3 as well as my 2016.5 CX-5 for which I bought the wheels. The offset is different by 5 mm, the...

    Winter Tire Set

    What about taking the print out of the discounted Jack Williams Hakkapeliitta R2 SUV deal to a local competitor like STS/Mavis and state that you would get the credit card in question to get all the rebates if you were to go with Jack Williams, but you want to see if the competitor wants to win...

    Winter Tire Set

    But in fairness to Jack Williams Tire, the online ad does state "plus taxes and fees" which are probably carved in stone by the state of PA and there's nothing that they can do about it. The ad shows four tires' installed price of $539.60 which includes their $19.95 per tire install package and...
