    Bye Mazda 2017 CX-5 Touring AWD

    I didn't have time or tools to do this. This happened last Thursday while I was at work and went on my lunch break.

    Bye Mazda 2017 CX-5 Touring AWD

    New AA \ ACP Thread (with Poll)

    All the warranty is Mazda saying: Yeah we will do the required firmware update because if another person tries to do it and messes up they can brick the info-tainment system.
