anyone have a link to the firmware and instructions for updating the stereo in a 2018 CX-5? I'm doing some googling but haven't found it yet. Edit - found it. https://my.hidrive.com/share/hsodpqja.l#$/Mazda_Firmware

I'll get a pic and post tomorrow. I can tell you it perfectly matches the shape of the coupler on our travel trailer. I did find the molding on several websites and also on ebay and amazon. Average price is about $90. Not painted of course.

The dealer can. They're just ridiculously overpriced. We have a body shop nearby but same story. I can install the piece on my own. I was just hoping there was a place I could order from that would paint it first.

I managed to dent the upper molding on my wifes car, above the grill just in front of the hood. I'm looking for a place to order a replacement from that hopefully would also paint it. Any ideas? The piece is part number kb8a-50-7e1b-bb. The part is listed for a 2017 CX5 but it should be the...

Well that's not true at all. Traffic has gotten out of hand the last several years. It used to be we had a rush hour as people got off work and just M-F. Now it's all the time, including weekends. Constant grid lock. It's become a real pain just getting anywhere. Even my short 6 mile drive...

The dealer we test drove at was great. No pressure. Didn't even ask for our phone number. However we wanted to buy at another dealership as they give a lifetime powertrain warranty on all mazdas. So I emailed them asking for their best price and he wouldn't give it to me! I said we need to...

apple maps is fine now. I've been running it and google maps simultaneously to test and they've both been the same. Really they're so similar it doesn't matter which you use anymore.

I know the premium package I want on the grand touring is factory. I expected things like the roof rails to be dealer installed but in the case of the vehicle i'm looking at they are on the window sticker which would mean factory installed. I've contacted more dealers and continue to get...

On the mazda website it lists several options for the 2018 CX-5 grand touring such as parking sensors. Are these dealer installed options or factory? I have spoken with 2 dealers and gotten different answers from both.
