    Spark plug burn marks, normal? 2019 CX-5 GTR

    Just changed the plugs, 35k miles. Are the burn marks normal? All 4 plugs were the same. Looked closely under a magnifier, didn’t see any cracks, just the discoloration. It’s been a while since I have changed any plugs, however I don’t recall seeing this before. Thanks.

    70.00.335 Firmware

    I have had similar issues. Not what I would consider frequent, guessing maybe 1 in 30 times I use the car. mostly not at startup for me. I use the mazda navigation quite a bit, seems related to the xfer of sound from that to the phone. Although not always. The fix I have found is going to...

    New CX5 Owner - Questions

    Thought I would chime in on the seats. I'm also a new owner, about 6months, GTR. I'm a 60 year old male, 6-2, 230. So the seat is none to big. Seat comfort on long trips was a concern for me. After 6months and 2 round trips from Mn to Az, about 6k miles of interstate/hwy driving, my...

    Updated version of the Infotainment System Available (70.0.0.352B NA N) for North America

    I just completed this update on my 2019 GTR. Coming from 335. All went well. no issues. Overall I have been pleased with the system. I have experienced one issue I would call a bug. We always have Apple carplay up and running. When going from a paused podcast on the Iphone to the FM radio...

    Care and feeding of the 2.5 turbo

    I second the earlier comment to follow the owners manual maintenance intervals religiously. This shows spark plugs at 40k miles, on the low side of most modern vehicles. Combine this with a $24 EA price for OEM plugs and this item will cost marginally more than the average car. On the...

    2018 CX-5 GT - Tire Pressure on 235/50/R19?

    Assuming you purchased the exact same tire size and load rating, I would stay close to the door sticker values. These are what the car was designed to run(handle) with given the mfgr tire specifications. No matter the brand. Going up a pound or 2 is fine and is usually what I do. On my...

    CX-5 GT HUD resets every time I start car

    Rule the key fob in or out by trying the 2nd one you stated you have yet to use. Also I*ve found a fresh set of batteries can resolve some flakey electronics issues. Good luck.

    Dangerous cylinder deactivation trouble on 2018 CX-5 and Mazda6 models

    Would it be possible to put a scope through the spark plug hole after hand cranking the engine to the exhaust stroke on the cylinder in question? Would certainly be easier to scope via valve cover if you could get to the area of concern.

    add favorite from contacts not available with Carplay

    Thanks for the info. I had previously downloaded the Navigation documents, skimmed them, it's time for a more in depth read. I did find a bluetooth video I had not seen before. If you think about it, let me know android auto also disables the add from contact option in favorites also.

    add favorite from contacts not available with Carplay

    Much to my surprise, I like the on-board navigation in my 19CX5. I have a cheaper cellphone plan, not the best coverage and the heads up display showing navigation is fun. One item that is annoying. Can't enter address while underway, ok, I understand the safety reasoning behind this. So go...

    Almost instant boot-up

    I also connect with bluetooth in addition to carplay. During the install I turned bluetooth off on my phone and deleted the connection in the car. Just to be safe, probably not required. After a few weeks, its my experience the bootup is overall somewhat faster. It seems slower with...

    AWD activation

    I recall from one of Dave Coleman*s excellent presentations a chart showing wheel slip while acceleration continues for a substantial time period before the vehicle acceleration goes negative(not intuitive to me, but will assume correct ).The human senses only the negative acceleration. The...

    Almost instant boot-up

    That is what worked for me. For added insurance i formatted the drive, fat32, on a win10 laptop just prior to copying over the file.

    Almost instant boot-up

    Sure your shutdown wasn*t the normal re-boot at the end of the update? I read somewhere hear the ACC timer is 25-30 minutes so 20 has cushion already. The car limits the time in ACC with no activity, to keep the battery from getting drained. What all constitutes activity I*m not sure. Brakes...

    Disable power lift gate BEEP BEEP?

    Question, can a well placed magnet taped down be a temp fix. Lasting long enough to get home from the big box store. I will look into how it senses that the door is closed.
