You can do it on CX-5 by shutting down the engine with gear still in "D" instead of "P". Or you shift into "P" but keep pressing the gear release button on the shift stick when you turn the ignition off.

Yes, you can still use Bluetooth after turning the car off. I've attempted to make calls while getting out of the CX5 (door open) and my iPhone asks me if I want to use via Bluetooth or just the iPhone.

Little confused. I'll admit, I'm a girl, but can't you do some damage by turning off the car while it's in drive?? I mean, that can't be good for the engine can it????
And we seem to be getting mixed answers, so let's clarify. If I'm streaming music via Bluetooth and turn off the car (while in park), will the music still continue to play? (Currently drive a Ford Edge, and the music will continue to play until you open the drivers door).

Not in the Mazda, no. You'd have to stop the car then turn the ignition on to the accessory position. It will stay on for about 20 minutes then turn itself off.

Thanks for the clarification!
if you want to keep the music playing after turning off the car, leave the car in drive, turn off the car then shift into park.

One additional change between the 2 manuals regarding oil level: My '16 manual labels the 2 holes in the dipstick as "Full" and "Low" whereas this '17 manual labels them as "Max" and "Min". It's a subtle but significant change IMHO. Since the 4.8 qts. will get you to to just beyond halfway between the 2 holes, it's not wrong.

I can see there're mixed info even in this thread. But to answer your question, there's absolutely no harm to turn off your engine in Drive! Or you can turn off your engine while in Park but keep the gear shift lock on the stick pressed. This way, your infotainment system will be kept on until you press the ignition Start/Stop button twice to turn the whole system off. I only use radio and USB memory stick listening to the music, but I'm pretty sure you still can listening to streaming music with BlueTooth since the whole infotainment system is on!

I see what you mean. Just like adding an "X" mark at higher position on diesel's dipstick for mandatory oil change. Both diesel and gasoline SkyActiv engines suffer oil dilution issues in different ways.
Why would the glass be more expensive because of HUD?

Firstly, according to Canadian spec new CX-5 windshield is a thicker noise-isolating windshield. Secondly, HUD normally requires special coating on windshield to reflect the image back. This special windshield definitely would be more expensive to replace!
Noise isolating windshield of course (small price to pay for this improvement!), but a small patch of reflective coating (which may or may not be there... is it actually a thing? it should reflect back just fine on untreated glass) would hardly increase costs by much.

yrwei52 or others may correct me if necessary, but my understanding is that, unlike BSM, ABSM also alerts you on fast approaching vehicles as well, even before they enter your blind spot zone.

Yes, Advanced BSM added more logic in software comparing the neighborhood vehicle speeds with the speed of itself. It'll alert you only fast approaching vehicles like you said, but won't for vehicles slower than you or the one you're passing. It greatly reduces number of alerts as the old BSM basically warns you for ANY vehicles NEAR you.

Having used the HUD, on my test drives, I'm sold. I loved it, by far the coolest thing on the vehicle.
