I have managed twice now to be reversing without the reversing camera on, as yet I haven't worked out how I've done it, too busy looking for traffic.
Ok today while reversing camera on, pushed the audio or phone screen not sure which and this came on and reversing camera stayed off, needed to come out of reverse and reselect to get it back on.
I don't recall this ever happening with the Xtrail reversing camera, so it looks like that's how the Mazda works.
xtrailman,
So just to be clear, does the radio/satnav display come on and stay on by default when the car is started, or (like by current Golf) is it 'off' unless switched on manually?
Just received an update from my local dealer - delivery still on for 17th Sep. Assume therefore that it's still on a boat.
In zeebrugge (the european distribution port for mazda) just about to be put on a boat to the uk. If only takes 2 days to get from there to most ports in the uk.
They also do some prep on the cars there.
I saw a lot of mazda 2's at the dealer today with the zeebrugge delivery sheet still in the cars.
Update Live services started working again today!
But phone failed to connect, I had to turn phone off and back on to connect.
Car is booked in Friday for Live services, now the damn thing is working, very frustrating.
Mines due in 4th Sept. Planned pick up 6th.
Dealer told me my car was in Rotterdam? end of last week. So approx. 2 weeks leadtime until pick up from the Netherlands.
Of those UK CX5 SPORT customers who have recently received their cars...have you experienced any of the ongoing quality issues posted on the forum other than the live services. In particular the mirror and bonnet vibration issues?
Do you know if the bonnet vibrates because it's structurally too weak or because it's not secured properly when shut? Having lifted the bonnet (it weighs a tonne compared to the aluminium bonnet I am used to) I would have thought it's more the latter.
Will you be asking Mazda to give you another 3m TT live trial once the issue is resolved to your satisfaction?
My non-extensive and non-destructive testing has shown a lack of SCBS kicking in on my CX-5.
Hi,
Well, have taken delivery of my CX-5 SEL Nav auto!
My initial thoughts are these. Firstly, have to say overall I did get a good service from my local Mazda dealer during the ordering and delivery process, no complaints. I did discuss in advance my concerns about firstly the 'oil rise' issue, and later the 'Live Services'; to an extent I was placated and assured any problems would be resolved by Mazda . . . we will see. Incidentally I was originally told I would get 20 of fuel, but in fact at delivery it was a full tank!
As for the car, really nice, like it. Steering very good, ditto brakes, throttle response, auto change, etc. There's enough power for me and acceleration seems good but my engineering background says don't thrash it, so I'm not going to! Have checked the oil level before starting - it's just at the 2nd hole from the end of the dipstick (type SHO1 10 450C). When I opened the bonnet I was looking forward to seeing the Blue engine cover, err, but no, just grey, pity! (Presumably only on the Sport).
Outside the car, what are these bizarre stiff fabric/cardboard rear wheel arch liners? They're held in place with barely hand-tight plastic nuts - what's their purpose? Looks like they will fall to pieces when they get wet, muddy, etc! I occasionally power wash my wheel arches, but if I did that I think the water jet would knock them off! I wonder if they are temporary devices which the dealer has forgotten to remove. Any ideas?
That's it for now.
