    Mazda Toolbox

    Here's what my Start menu item runs: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mazda\Toolbox\tbagent.exe"

    Mazda Toolbox

    On a PC, just open Start and find your Mazda app folder, then start Mazda Toolbox. I never allow the insertion of some media (SD/CD/USB/DVD, etc) to start an app. It is a huge security issue. There's probably some setting somewhere to allow auto startup, but I would never allow it. One note on...

    CX-5 won't start after upgrading to CarPlay. Help!

    Charged with what? A 2 Amp maintainer won't do much overnight when the battery is very low. Neither will a short drive. It would take hours. Maybe a 5 - 10 AMP/hr charger overnight would do it. But if that's the original 4+ yr old battery, it is probably at end-of-life anyway. This probably...

    2020 CX-5, way to disable "Engine Harmonics Enhancer" (Fake Engine Noise)?

    Shouldn't this be in the "Infotainment" sub-forum?

    Warm brakes after going down hill

    I don't drive in the mountains very often, but when I do - I manually shift to a lower gear on long declines. This mixed with occasional braking. Is that a bad practice? I understand it may heat-up the transmission.

    Leaving factory Key Fob in the car and using aftermarket remote to start?

    AWD with no badge?

    Buying a car that has an accident history isn't the issue. I think the consensus is you paid too much for this car. Major damage was not fully disclosed. I'd go back and demand at least $2000 off or return it. Their shady business practice is the issue. I'm surprised this car wasn't totaled...

    AWD with no badge?

    The car could of been creamed while parked. Maybe the impact pushed the car into other objects. That damage is in so many areas, it took a lot of force. BTW, airbags only deploy if the system senses a passenger/driver.

    CX-5 Bolt Question

    It's a bolt! Take it to a hardware store that has a good selection of metric bolts (probably not the normal big-box store) and ask for one like that. Many smaller stores have much better selection of misc hardware than Lowes/Home Depot. My locally owned Ace has aisles and aisles of...

    CX-5 head on pole crash

    Freak accident. But from the thread title, I was expecting "head on pole". Fake news!

    “Oil service required” Light malfunction on ‘19 Signature

    I had a similar issue when I reset (through Mazda Connect) after a DIY oil change. A couple weeks later it said the service was overdue. After asking here, I found I didn't reset it correctly - you need to double-press the start button before going into the menu. I wonder it the service tech did...

    Tire Rotation Vid and Q

    I've lifted using the rear differential before. IIRC, it is a solid casting. No drama - just position the jack pad somewhere in the center and jack it up. I used a small block of wood to spread the load and protect the case. As far as rotation - my old CX9 I had for over 11 yrs and only...

    Mazda cx5 emergency braking when reversing a trailer

    Did it ever work correctly, or is this the first time you've tried trailering with this CX5? Oh, never mind - I just re-read your original post. Yes, take it to the dealer. Something is very wrong.

    Mazda cx5 emergency braking when reversing a trailer

    All good questions, I'll add: Is it actually applying the brakes, or is it telling you to "BRAKE!" in the display? Was this a factory installed hitch/harness? If not, what brand harness/adapter was used? Does it do this if you temporarily disconnect the trailer light connector? It is also...

    Jack Pad Adapter

    I bought four of those to use on top of the blocks included with my QuickJack. Then I lifted the entire CX5 in order to rotate the tires. After removing one tire and starting on another, the CX5 tipped and slid off the jack pads completely on one side - which caused the entire car to shift off...

    Jack Pad Adapter

    I use these with my QuickJack, but they should work with any jack. Pinch weld block pads They are made from a dense rubber so even if the pinch-weld goes deeper, the rubber will compress. Worked great on my CX5.
