    Well...that was lame.

    Just buy an ipad, mount it on your dash, hotspot your phone, and watch YouTube while you drive...that's what you are asking about right? The bigger the screen the easier for the Cops to pull you over and give you Tix. But that sounds like what you want. Also you want Apple Carplay and AA to be...

    My brakes squeek loudly when backing up - Is this normal for a CX5

    Could be as simple as calipers need greasing. But the rear calipers are those kind that the Pistons get rotated back . And the inside pad wears much faster on our vehicled

    My brakes squeek loudly when backing up - Is this normal for a CX5

    Have the brakes inspected. The cause is usually one of a few things: The pads are worn and the squeal is from the metal strip in the pad. The pads backing plate and holder need to be lubed and are allowing the pads to vibrate. The pads and rotors got glazed and need to be deglazed or...

    trade in my 2016 CX-5 for a 2019 CX-5 ?

    I went from 2014 GT to 2018 GT, love it but: Seats are WAY better on the 2018... 2018 is 2 inches wider inside. Stereo is WAY better in 2018. 2018 is WAY quieter. But: 2018 is WAY slower...like WAY 2018 tranny shifts WAY more lazy. The 2014 tranny ALWAYS shifted where I would have on a manual...

    Very faint high pitched "mosquito" sound

    Well my guess is you guys that are complaining are in super cold places...of so hopefully mileage breakin will quiet the pumps. Wouldn't these be the same as the CX-9? Maybe there is a bad batch of pumps too. Someone needs to part number cross check them for the cx-9... I know that Corksport...

    Very faint high pitched "mosquito" sound

    I'm confused, you wanted a vehicle that had a HPFP and a turbo that spins as xxx,xxx rpms to be silent at speed? Unless it goes through the normal level of music that I play or actually comes through the speakers (which some electrical noises are prone to do when bad)... Or is this noise so...
