What have you done to your CX-5 today?

Got my diesel tuning box fitted today. Drove pretty normally for the 20 mile drive home to make sure the engine still acted normally in slower traffic situations. Put my foot down in 6th on the open road for a bit and the difference is remarkable. Very pleased so far. Next time I fill up, I'll be monitoring the fuel economy.

I have the 148bhp diesel and between 1500 and 2200 revs there is a strong pull and a sharp decline in the pulling power you feel after 2200. That fall off is not there anymore.

I have soldered the radar detector, dashcam wires, to my mirror wires. The dashcam 12 to 5V adapter, I have pushed up, behind the overhead console.
 
Traffic seems to be getting worse and worse every day; time for some dashcam protection. Though I was disappointed to learn that the power outlets do not turn off with the ignition and I am worried the dashcams will sink the battery. Will be searching for a solution to this.

I can charge my phone when the car is off. Always wanted to be able to do that.
 
Hmm yes. But doesn't explain why both outlets do this. I would imagine atleast one should be connected with ignition. Its a small inconvenience but I hate having to mess with the internal wiring to achieve this.
 
Flashed my oem tune and filled up with 87 so I can save gas $ driving like granny this week. Went to pass at about 80 and remembered how much the oem tune and 87 sucks for power.

My 16 has 1 in the console and 1 in the back. Checked the back, that's hot always too.
 
Messed around with some wrap and eliminated the chrome from the front end 100%

Washed/ detailed and wet waxed the car today. Went out for dinner and came out to another cx-5 parked next to me. Hello old friend!

Had a photo of my '14 in blue parked right next to another '14 in blue in a random McDonald's lot somewhere Maine...

In the "what did I do" dept., installed AEM intake to replace OEM box.
 
Washed it after 1300km Autobahn ride last weekend back home from a gathering

Stopped at the dealer yesterday to get an estimate from the collision center. Last Friday, a flat bed tow truck decided to move into our lane.

I ordered from eBay the navigation card for my daughter's CX5 2017 sport. The seller stated on the page that it works. I really hope so.
