Do you do a lot of short hops without longer drives between them? Doing that will run down the battery since it's drawing more power from the battery to start the car than gets put back in from a short drive. Couple that with the car's always on electronics like the connection to the app and...

Pure speculation here but since it depends on rotational speed to see differences in tire pressure maybe you have a tire that's more worn than the other ones triggering the system. It might be worth checking tread depth on all the tires to see if they're worn evenly.

Not an option on my '24 TP. My wife's '24 CX-30 has it.

Amazon link is https://a.co/d/8tG175p. I did modify the heck out of it and split the readout from the solar cell and printed up some custom mounts for them since I didn't like it stuck right on the windshield. Sensors go on the valves and have caused no issues though they are a tad ugly.

I just bought one of those digital readouts that you put on the dash with sensors that go on the valves and it seems to work well so far. Ran me 35 bucks on Amazon and seems a pretty good investment for a city car where hazards are everywhere and it's easy to pick up a nail and get a slow leak.

But still quite common. I see it all the time over on Reddit. When I picked up my CX-5 last year as soon as I drove it away I could tell they were too high. Yep, all over 45. We got the wife s CX-30 a month later and I specifically told the idiots to check it before we picked it up. Nope. All...

Make sure you check the tire pressure before you drive it away, dealers often don't reset it from the higher shipping pressure.

Just to be clear, if you turn the control knob all the way clockwise the mirrors actually fold in? And for sure it's a 2013? Folding mirrors were a much later addition, at least in the US. I don't know about other countries though.

I agree and keep a corded fast charger in my 5. Unfortunately Mazda removed the aux jack in the new 30's so the best you can do is use the wimpy extra USB port in the console. When i went to add a charger to the 30 and found the covered space where it used to be I was sorta stunned.

The chargers seem pretty worthless. The one in my wife's 30 seems mostly to just get her iPhone hot and the one on my CX-5 does the same with my Samsung. That being said when I have my phone in my pocket running AA with music and maps wirelessly it gets pretty warm on it's own and drinks a fair...

I'll try that but I don't think that's it since it's connected and playing music, just no display. That got me thinking though, I've never looked to see if the GPS info showed up on the HUD since as soon as I see the screen is black I hit a button to bring it back.

Howdy all. I have an interesting semi-problem with my '24 TP with AA. When I first start the car all is well, AA connects wirelessly, shows up on the screen and it all works fine. But if if I stop the car for a bit, say going into a store, when I restart it the screen often is blank. If I push...

I did a poll last week on the CX-5 sub to see if folks were going to pay for the app once their trial expires. Out of 83 responses 74% said no, 12% said yes and 13% had or are were planning to put in their own remote start. I thought I'd try it again over here just to see what happens. I'm...

They might have left the fob in the car or parked it close enough to the fob to have it do it on its own. I've learned to not leave my car in the driveway next to the door with the key hook or I'll lose both fobs to low power mode after a while. Baffled the crap out of me the first time it...
