    Liftgate has a Mind of its Own?

    The lip of the tail gate for our 2017 cx5 got damaged the same way. Either my wife or I pressed the button in error while the garage door was down. Upon opening the garage door again the tail gate also started opening up along with the garage door. The lift gate got caught in the metal handle...

    Cheapest repair for dislodged rear bumper reflector on CX-5?

    Drivers side reflector (rear bumper) got dislodged on my 2017 cx5 as someone reversed into it. The body shop that my dealer works with sent their guy over. He glued the reflector back into its place with some epoxy. There were broken connectors in my case. It’s been almost 2 years and the...

    2016 CX5 DRL recall announced

    It’s a thing with Nissan Rogues and Honda Civics. Maybe the usable light coming out of their headlights are useless so they don’t bother turning them on or god knows what. Anyways back to the topic.

    2016 CX5 DRL recall announced

    True that about the Nissan Rogues. Last year I made the mistake of politely telling the driver of a Nissan Rogue that his headlights are off. It was about 8 pm at night and he yelled back at me saying he doesn’t need them. He can see everything alright.

    2017~2024 Possible rodent or mice under the hood....

    I am dealing with a rodent issue in our 2017 CX5. The one that came us to visit went after a roll of paper towel and the shop towel all the way in the trunk. Chewed off insulation outside of the glove box and some under the dashboard. Also chewed off the insulation under the engine cover and...

    Just Installed Fortin Remote Start on my new 2016 Mazda CX-5 DIY

    To the OP I am trying to wrap my head around installing Fortin evo maz1T. In your last picture I see the hood pin taped up. Where does that need to be connected?

    2013~2016 Installing a PAC RP4-MZ11 to a 2014 CX-5 with Bose system

    So yes there are a lot of cables and initially it might be overwhelming but work with one connection at a time. I used butt connectors to connect the wires. It is recommended to solder but I didnt have that much of patience. Once I wired everything up I tested the stereo. Everything worked...

    2013~2016 Installing a PAC RP4-MZ11 to a 2014 CX-5 with Bose system

    Did you get the harness that goes between / connects your Alpine to the car / factory harness? The PAC RP4 would have come with a harness that would have 4 RCA outs. These will be plugged behind your Alpine headunit provided it has RCA inputs. I installed Kenwood last week in my 2015 cx5...

    2017 CX-5 drl question

    Hey guys. So I had bought a 2017 Mazda 3GT with the premium package (only package available in stick shift) last month. I too was baffled that why did Mazda ruin the drl system by turning on the low beam also along with their signature lighting. Tried looking for answers and came across this...

    Key fob battery question (2014)

    I was able to get 18 months on the original battery but then had to replace it in the key fob. Constant transmitting from the fob plus cold weather here (Canada - Toronto) doesn't help much.

    Cdn Dealer offering following before I pick up 2016 cx5 GT tech

    I don't have either of these things. It depends if you need all that or if you would rather have $1100 in your pocket rather than the dealer's and deal with the expenses as then come up. The electric rust protection module will do nothing as compared to what Krown can do for you. All 2015 and...

    2014 Mazda CX-5 GT/Tech Package

    I personally think that is a little too much money. You are not getting much of a discount in there for the year 2014. Why don't you try and get yourself into 2015 so that you can avail of the unlimited km warranty (3 year bumper to bumper, 5 year on power train, etc.) on the 2015 models?
