    One week sitting prep?

    I'll be going on vacation for a week, is there anything I should do to my 2016 CX-5 to prep for the week that the car will be parked? The longest any of my vehicles have been parked has been over a weekend. This is my first actual vacation in my 20 year working career, and I'm just trying to...

    Quick Apple Carplay question.

    I took my "new to me" CX-5 to the dealer to get an update on my firmware to hopefully fix some random Bluetooth issues, and saw they updated me to 70.00.335 NA N, so does this mean if I wanted to get Apple Carplay in my CX-5, all I would have to do is install the Retrofit Kit 00008FZ34? Thanks

    I just recently bought a 2016 CX-5 GT with the tech package and was looking to update the maps. Read that I had to download Mazda toolbox and register, that went all fine. Booted up toolbox, plugged in my card, clicked on available updates and it says "there are no available updates for your...

I see people getting 20" wheels with 255 wide tires. What are the downsides other than the obvious harsher ride, and more...

    2016 LED vs regular headlights

    By any chance does anyone have experience with both, I'll be on the market for a 2016 cx-5 in the summer and was wondering if the tech package is worth it. I know the LED daytime running lights are problematic. But how about the headlight performance, I do a fair amount of night time driving...

    2016 Touring options?

    Next summer I plan on buying a 2016 CX-5 Touring. According to the brochure there is only a Bose/moon roof package, and a technology package, but shopping around now I see some of them with heated seats. Were heated seats an unlisted option? If so were there other options someone could add...

    How old can of a certified pre owned cx-5 can you buy?

    In the summer of 2019 I plan on buying a 2016 cx-5, I don't really like the 2017 styling and plus I think it will be out of my budget. I would really like to get a certified pre owned one so I can get that 7 year/100K mile power train warranty. A quick search on Autotrader right now only shows...
