    Best aftermarket Remote Start for CX-5

    Can the EVO-All be used in conjunction with EZGo, i.e. I would need to only buy those two devices? I am trying to enable remote start and keyless entry on my 2014 CX-5 Touring...remote start via OEM key fob 3 button press is sufficient, and keyless entry via adding the very small RFID to the...

    were you getting power at all to your USB when it wasn't working? my ipod shows that it's plugged in, charging, and the screen is locked out but I get no response from the head unit. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

    2014 CX5 2.5 fuel econ horrible

    Thank you for your reply, but perhaps I was not clear. I never said the trip computer was all over the place on its readings. The different MPG results I observe are regarding the difference in (1) trip computer vs (2) hand calculation. To illustrate, I will lead you through an example. Let's...

    2014 CX5 2.5 fuel econ horrible

    I'm not upset about the actual number. I am just trying to make sense of the gross mismatch between measurement methods, and the fact that when I overfill the tank, it matches what the computer is saying. When I take the advice from this forum to not overfill, I get inflated MPG numbers. Which...

    2014 CX5 2.5 fuel econ horrible

    This is getting frustrating. I have now stopped overfilling my tank, and the calculated gas mileage based on odometer jumps to 29+ (great!), but I am having a very hard time believing this since the computer readout is still showing 25mpg. The 25mpg is consistent with the value I would get if I...

    2014 CX5 2.5 fuel econ horrible

    According to some posts above, there should be ~50 miles (2 gallons) left when the range meter gets to 0. I wasn't concerned. Thanks, I did follow your tip this time but it didn't seem to help. Kind of troubling that it says it's full but you can really put up to 3 additional gallons after...

    Second fill up @ 4 miles to empty on the range meter gave me 392 miles on this tank. When I filled it up it once again it stopped filling at around 13 gallons, but I kept topping it off until it climbed all the way to 15.8 gal !!! I thought the tank size was 14.8 (for FWD). What gives???

    Resuming Playback with 2014 CX-5 GT Tech Stereo and other issues

    Do you lose any native functionality by installing an aftermarket head unit? I know for other brands, they are putting in some car settings (such as heated seats or wiper settings) into the head unit so if you switch it out you can't control that stuff anymore. Any concerns like this for the...

    2014 CX5 2.5 fuel econ horrible

    My first fill-up was at 445 miles. It took 14.5 gallons, which is about 30.6 MPG by calculator. The computer reported an average MPG of 28.2 I don't trust this number completely because I don't know exactly how full the dealer had it off the lot, but I was pleased to see my manual calculation...
