    CX-5 Android Auto / Apple CarPlay

    Did you reinsert the SD card and see if it works? I'd rather the fix not be that we have to lobotomize the system.

    CX-5 Android Auto / Apple CarPlay

    I was hoping that after I updated my phone to ios13, it might be fixed. Unfortunately, it rebooted twice in a 2 hour drive this evening.

    CX-5 Android Auto / Apple CarPlay

    I had it happen six times during a long drive yesterday. Most were when using CarPlay, but the last occurred after I unplugged and was using the Mazda Bluetooth connection to my iPhone to listen to music.

    2017~2024 Possible issue with BOSE system in 2019 GT Reserve Turbo?

    Do you have the lane-wandering detection thingy set to alert you audibly? If you do (I do), music goes quieter when you wander (and when it's doing the virtual rumble strip thing).

    Android Auto / Apple Carplay tips and tricks

    Does anyone know a way to pause music while playing a playlist other than rotating the Commander knob to the pause button on the screen? Theres buttons for forward and back on the steering wheel, but no pause. Also is there an easy way to zoom in and out on the Apple Map using a knob, or do...

    When and Why Did Mazda Lose "Zoom Zoom" at start up?

    My 2007 CX9 had that, I believe. Really liked it.

    When and Why Did Mazda Lose "Zoom Zoom" at start up?

    They still had the Zoom Zoom intro on the first page of the owners manual for my 2019 GTR I just picked up.

    When and Why Did Mazda Lose "Zoom Zoom" at start up?

    So, I was taking my daughter's 2011 Mazda 3 to the dealership, and noticed that it (like my '07 CX9) showed "Zoom Zoom" when you first started the car. It was even polite enough to say "Goodbye" when you turned it off. My new 2019 CX5 GTR doesn't do that. Questions: 1. When did Mazda lose...

    Is there such a thing as a "default radio station?"

    Better that than "Sympathy for the Devil" or "Highway to Hell."

    Is there such a thing as a "default radio station?"

    I recently acquired a 2019 CX5 GTR. The infotainment stuff seems to work well, including Car Play. As others have noticed, it does take a little time for the vehicle to find Car Play. Instead, at least for a bit, it defaults over to a radio station. Worse, it defaults to an FM station that I...

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    1. Bought it. 2. Got OEM car mats because of likely muddy conditions over the next 6 weeks.

    AWD compared

    Every spring for about four weeks or so -- VT's fifth season. To be honest, that picture was about the worst that section has been in the past several years, but with 50% of VT's roads being dirt, and given that during spring, the top thaws while there's lots of frozen ground underneath, the...

    AWD compared

    My experience with my 07 CX-9 GT confirms both points. When I was driving in VT the first winter I had it, I had all season tires. I got in a hard snow/ice parking lot and when I tried to go up an incline, the traction control literally cut all power. I managed to figure out to turn the traction...

    Turbo: nobody home?

    This thread has me derailed in decision process. I am (or was) close to pulling the trigger on a 2019 * either a GT with premium or a GTR. I*m in CT, but do spend a fairly good amount of time in VT and put close to 20k miles on a car each year. If the turbo (or even the NA ) is going to crap...
