    You don't even have to say "play" in the commands. It is sufficient to say "playlist mix" or "artist jim bob".

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Got my winter 17x7 black steel wheels and blizzak DM-V1's from tirerack Friday and installed them Saturday. They are shockingly close to the brake calipers all around, about 1/4" clearance. I did not expect that. It is a bit early to install winter wheels here but they need to be broken in and...

    TPMS and winter wheels

    I won't put on winter wheels for another 6 weeks; not as far north as you. But per the manual and other places, you should use higher tire pressure in the winter. Tirerack has a discussion about this you can read. From the manual page 3-42: Snow Tires Use snow tires on all four wheels Do not...

    Does putting 17" rims on regularly 19"-rimmed Canadian CX-5 GT

    @tirerack, I ordered 17x7 black steelies (back ordered until 10-28) and Blizzak DM-V1 225/65R17. Should get them in 2 weeks. Total cost including mounting, balance, and shipping $866 USD - $50 rebate on Blizzaks (no longer available) so $816 total. The Blizzaks alone were $500 without rebate.

    My Cx5 so far

I did it last week and there was very little traffic which is good because in some places it is so narrow that two...

    Dealer put 5w20 syn-blend oil during oil change...

    The 2014 manual is different which is what led to my question. The below is copied (including its highlighting) from the 2014 Owner's Manual: U.S.A. and CANADA Use SAE 0W-20 engine oil. Mazda Genuine Oil is used in your Mazda vehicle. Mazda Genuine 0W-20 Oil is required to achieve optimum fuel...

    The owner's manual states 0W-20 but does not state synthetic only. Are you sure about that?

    ipod, 2014 CX5 GT stereo and Mazda Customer Service

    garyd9, I too have a 5th gen iPod and playlists fail as you describe. The correct playlist names show up, the contents of a given playlist show correctly, but what actually plays for each playlist entry is not what the entry is for. I have thought it was just some random association between...
