CPO prices are indeed thru the roof. I just traded/lease-ended my '16.5 Touring AWD w/Nav for an '18 Sport AWD with the iActivesense pkg. My old CX-5 had only 8900 miles on it, and the dealer CPO'ed it and marked it with a $22,000 price tag. Other CPOs on their lot have up to 33K miles on...

Exactly, my 16 was how you describe it. Mazda has changed the way that mute button works. It now pauses as well, which sucks.

Thanks for sharing!

so Racing Beat is a good system? I don't want it to sound like popcorn in the microwave.

well I've tried the mute button with other music stream apps like TuneIn, and yes it does mute AND pause. must have been updated between '16 and '18. Bummer.

ok, this is happening without messing with the phone. Just trying to mute and not pause.

Dang, my '16 didn't do this.

My 2016.5 CX-5 Touring w/ Nav this morning connected with my phone and worked normally. Listened to music streaming from phone app. 3 hours later, nothing. Screen says Bluetooth phone connected but no audio, not even from conventional FM radio or iTunes music loaded into the phone or any...

I had a new CX-3 last December which for many reasons was graciously replaced with a new CX-5 this past March. Mazda was very understanding and cordial about the whole thing. But there are still many little irritations about these vehicles. For instance, the Bluetooth range is a joke: if you...
