    New 2017+ Specific CX-5 Section?

    The 2013-2016.5 versus 2017 CX-5 are vastly different enough that it should have its own section. I'm sure the issues, parts, etc differentiate enough not to associate with the previous gen. Perhaps a specific section may be helpful once the 2017 posts start flooding in. Much more defined...

    iPhone 7 USB connection (error) issues with Pre-2016 headunits

    Just received my iPhone 7 running iOS 10.1.1 today and tried plugging it into USB of my 2013 CX-5 as I usually do with my iPhone 6s (running iOS 10.1.1 as well). Had no luck and kept showing "iPOD ERROR" on the headunit. Tried restarting botht he phone and hard resetting the headunit resulting...

    Morimoto released their XB LED fog light housings into the market for plug and play housing swaps covering MANY manufacturers. One literally unbolts their fog light housings and bolt on Morimoto's XB LED fog light housings. The reviews are positive from "experts of lighting" and I definitely...

    Leaked 2016 CX-5.

    As predicted with the spy shots. A slight refresh with new grill, LED lights front and rear, and wheels. Possibly a refreshed interior with new infotainment as well just like how the 2016 Mazda6 will follow with Mazda's "MazdaConnect" that we first saw in the Mazda3...

    Bose issues: Integrating an aftermarket subwoofer.

    For those that are lazy to read: Tap into Bose speaker output for a subwoofer? Get muddy bass, harsh highs and loss in mid range from Bose speakers. From what I have discovered, tapping any output from the Bose processor/amp will yield poor results. Not only will the sub-bass sound muddy, it...

    (Very) Detailed Comparison: 2013 Grand Touring AWD w/ Tech vs 2015 Touring AWD

    My girlfriend traded in her CRV last month for a 2015 Touring AWD in Meteor grey. I have a 2013 GT AWD Tech and I put 22,000 miles on it since December of 2012. Since I have driven both CX-5's back to back enough to get a detailed feel of the differences, I'll be stating them in this VERY...

    Gauging interest: Rally Armor Mud Flaps

    The CX-5 seems to be a vehicle that is in need of real mud flaps. Plenty of dirt gets kicked up against the plastic trim, and often the door panels (especially in the rain). There is an OEM option which is very expensive and offers little protection. The Ebay/Alibaba Chinese mudflaps are...

    Anyone have extended warranty?

    Just wondering who actually opted for extended warranty and is familiar with Mazda's program. I'm closing in on 18k miles and it just got me thinking, granted I still haven't took the CX-5 in for warranty work. Partly due to the fact that the closest reputable dealer I would let touch my CX-5 is...

    Spotted Cross Island Parkway Queens NY. White CX-5.

    Saw you on the Cross Island southbound tonight around 9:00PM. You had HID fogs and perhaps highler kelvin HID lows, trailer hitch with light, mudflaps, tints, and perhaps GT wheels or something aftermarket. I was in the salt covered black debadged and tinted GT Tech with fogs, and white LED...

    Power seat motor noise.

    The motor responsible for sliding the drive side forward and back has been making noises lately. Sounds like a damn jet. Going to have to take it in for service as I don't see any TSB up. Curious if anyone else has this issue.

    How to change foglight bulbs.

    No need to jack up the car, remove foglight housing, nor remove the fender liners completely. Crawl under the front under the corner of the bumpers. In front of the front wheel aero flaps, you will see THREE screws. They look like 10-12mm (didn't care to find out) hex bolts with option to use a...

Direct snap in replacement for the festoon dome light. 16 LED's, color output is PURE WHITE. $12 shipped for each, $20 shipped for a pair, or $30...

    Musty smell after using the AC on a hot day? Some tips to prevent such from happening

    Do you often get a musty mildew smell from the HVAC vents on a hot humid day after using the AC? I know I do, especially since the CX-5's HVAC is quite prone to condensation. Here's a few explanations as to why it happens and some good habits for preventative maintenance. (skip if you want the...

    eBay CX-5 Front and Rear Bumper / Chin Guard

    Not a bad design, assuming it will fit well. I see this to be quite useful for those living in the city often street parking their cars (like myself). Comes in handy as idiot drivers that use the strategy of bumper kissing to parallel park their cars. Comes with integrated bar type LED DRL's...

    Can someone take a picture of their GT headlights.

    I need a close up picture of your headlight housing when the LED DRL's are lit. Anyone kind enough to grab a picture?

    For those who have bought the switchblade remote for their MZ3/MS3 or Miata NC, and is unable to program it, it may be the wrong model. Two manufacturers with two different frequencies are made for the SAME remote. MZ/MS3 and MIATA NC only: FCC ID: BGBX1T478SKE12601SKE125-01 Other Numbers...
