Whatever you do, don't buy these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LX5R5LZ/?tag=m20b7-20. Crappy workmanship, and they started to show rust spots 2 weeks after I installed them. Fortunately, I was able to get a refund.

The 3M Dual-Lock reclosable fastener tape works great - much more secure than Velcro if you'd like to be able to take the camera on & off for security reasons.

There's no manual dimming adjustment on the auto mirror - only the on/off button. My other car also has an auto mirror - works the same way.

Assuming the aftermarket cover fits properly, the installation and removal should be very easy. Hold the cover by the finger grips and press the metal bar on the cover against the flexible tab on the hatch (you can do one side at a time). Then simply slide the bar towards the top of the hatch...

I installed the Draw-Tite hitch on my CX-5 late last year and found it to be a relatively easy job, with a couple of caveats: 1) etrailer (where I ordered mine) provides some ingenious fish wires that make it super easy to pull the bolts into position through the inside of the box frame and...

It's not a fixed distance. It depends on your speed and the sensitivity you have set in the system preferences.

Had this bookmarked from another post somewhere. This for the 2018: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/jsfodu8z5090obv/AACCIk5AVaPA8-I_OWeUbZ_Za?dl=0

The Harbor Freight ramps also work great. Rated at 13K lbs - picked them up for under $30 with a coupon. https://m.harborfreight.com/13000-lb-portable-vehicle-ramp-set-63956.html

Facing the prospect of a second $1000+ timing belt service on my Honda (now departed), I was ecstatic to learn from the salesperson that the CX-5 utilizes a timing chain.

I'm curious about which tool you used on the exhaust hangers. When I installed the Draw-Tite on my 2018, I used a Lisle 38350 Exhaust Hanger Removal Pliers that I purchased from amazon. My experience was that the end of the tool fit perfectly into the recess on the ends of the hanger brackets...

I contacted Mazda recently to get some clarification on the whole SBS/SCBS/Advanced SCBS thing. What I was told is that, in the US, Advanced SCBS was introduced on the 2019 CX-5s (Touring & above). 2018 & earlier CX-5s have SCBS. If you read the descriptions closely, the owner's manual...

This a temporary solution if someone is motivated enough to go through the menu process every time they drive the car. Once the engine is restarted, the system automatically reactivates.

It's possible that your target is too small. "The SCBS is a system which operates in response to a vehicle ahead. The system may not be able to detect or react to 2-wheeled vehicles or pedestrians." Also not sure if the target material (cardboard) is having any effect. Per Mazda, Advanced...

I contacted Mazda Customer Support to get clarification on the SCBS/Advanced SCBS question. Advanced SCBS is standard on 2019 CX-9 Touring trim and above, 2019 CX-5 Touring trim and above, and 2019 CX-3 Grand Touring. It's also available as a package on the Sport trim on the 2019 CX-9 and 2019...

That's the only significant difference that I noticed when comparing the two descriptions. But which CX-5s have it? When I look at the specs for all of the trim levels, they all indicate the same thing: SCBS - no mention of Advanced SCBS. Not the first confusing thing I've found in the owner's...

In addition, what's the difference between SCBS and Advanced SCBS? I see both mentioned in the owner's manual, but only SCBS listed in the specs for any of the trim levels.

I have not found the SCBS system to be intrusive at all - and certainly not dangerous - and I have mine set on "Far." I only seem to get a beep once in a while when I'm coming up on someone a little too quickly. Other than that, I've yet to experience the system intervene and actually take...

Or this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002SR4Q8/?tag=m20b7-20

This doesn't seem to apply in the exact situation you describe, but FYI, there is the capability to brighten the BSM indicators in certain situations when they're being dimmed by the automatic light control: Function for cancelling illumination dimmer If the BSM warning indicator lights are...

I made the same complaint in an earlier post. To make matters worse, they use so much salt around here that the carpet not only gets wet, but has a white salt crust in it when it dries. I can't visualize a solution that will be truly effective - maybe a flap of some sort that's attached to...
