The current Android software has AA built in. When I got my new Galaxy S21 I linked up the Mazda application in my infotainment to my phone - and it still crashes every 10 seconds. Prior to this phone, I had been using the AA app available on the Google Play Store. Nothing seems to work...

Just the opposite. I have a '17 GT w/factory NAV and had the dealer retrofit the AA/ACP when it was available a couple of years ago. Factory NAV still works OK but the AA maps (either Google or Waze) won't. I get a system error (mobile device not connected) every 20 seconds then the app...

Wouldn't setting up a brand new phone do exactly that? I ran into a minor problem with my multiple email accounts so took the new phone and did a total factory reset on it. Wiped it clean then started the setup again. Worked flawlessly - except the AA.. :cautious:

Well, totally dissatisfied with the Mazda factory AA. For my '17 GT is was a dealer retrofit. Seemed to work OK at first but lately Google Maps or Waze crashes the system and restarts every 10-15 seconds. I tried replacing the USB cable with a genuine Samsung cable for my Galaxy S10 and no...

2017 CX-5 GT and I had the dealer retrofit AA about a year ago. Recently experienced Google Maps (and WAZE) causing the system to reboot every few minutes - Mobile Connection Lost. Ordered a new, official Samsung USB-C cable and it still crashes w/regularity. Had the vehicle serviced...

I had a 2015 and don't think they were available w/LED headlights. I got mine with the Technology package which included HID headlights, not LED. I thought the LEDs appeared on the 2016 CX-5 in the US?

I just noted Buick is no longer selling any sedan model. All SUV/Crossover. Wife and I just attended the Minneapolis Auto Show (held outdoors at the State Fairgrounds). She's a Camry (Hybrid) driver and looking for a new Camry. Don't think I can envision NASCAR racing tall SUVs...

I'm primarily interested in the VHF/UHF mobile rigs which would be the VHF 2 meter (~144 MHz) and UHF 70cm (~420 MHz) bands as I could then use the many amateur repeaters to reach out to a wider geographical area. I'm also a local elected official (municipal) and would like to listen in to...

I just passed my amateur radio license (HAM Technician class) and am interested in installing a mobile VHF/UHF radio (probably around 50W) in the CX-5. Most mobile units come with detachable faceplates which mean you can mount the radio chassis anywhere. More concerned about the antenna. It...

Problem I have now is when trying to open the Mazda Toolbox app, I get a message saying "Service is unavailable at the moment. We are sorry for any inconvenience. Please try again later!" Been that way for the last 2 days.

Well do I feel like an idiot. With being recently retired and most things locked down I'm only taking 1-2 trips per week in my CX-5. Made some in-town runs today, took out the SD card and noticed the little slider tab was in the locked position. Moved it to unlock and now everything works...

The restaurant industry is highly volatile with many established locations shutting down and new ones popping up, particularly under the COVID turmoil. Not sure how quarterly updates can even keep pace with the changes. Thinking Google Maps would be a far better alternative than the Mazda Nav...

When I traded up from a 2015 to the 2017 CX-5, it was evident they had worked on noise reduction. Haven't heard what, if any, improvements were made in the 2020. My '17 came off lease last spring so decided to buy it. I looked at the 2020s but the only feature I saw which was an upgrade were...

Posted a similar issue in this thread. Nav SD card not recognized, compass does not work and my Active Driving Display's Traffic Sign Recognition doesn't seem to be functioning.
