    2017~2025 Android Auto Newbie Questions

    We have a 2019 that includes AA/CP standard, so I can only answer from that perspective. I assume it works the same way with the hub: 1. I doubt you will see anything about AA/CP until the updated hub is installed. 2. Yes. There are two USB ports, only one can be used for AA/CP, but music...

    Anyone bothered by the poor front LED lights?

    Yeah, no complaints about the headlights here.

    Mazda Oil Filter Question

    But that thread also doesn't have anything more than people saying they don't think it's as good. Again, without proof.

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    The '23s had three years no charge, then monthly fee after that. Newer model years only get 1 year free.

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Hah! Never even thought of that! Do you have any info links? I'm interested in the how, but not that I'll do it, as I already picked up a commercial one for like $15.

    2013~2016 CX-5 Help Request: HVAC Air Blend Actuator

    Had the same symptom on my CX-50. It was a refrigerant leak (i.e low charge). I must admit I was confused as to why low charge would cause one side to be warmer than the other, but there it is.

    Best Tires for 2021 CX-5 Turbo?

    I have both of these tires. The Pirellis on our CX-5 and the Conti's on my CX-50. The Conti's have better handling, but then they are lower profile (20" wheels). Both have much better ride than the original tires on the cars.

    How easy is DIY for the spark plugs?

    Ahhh, no. Don't just tighten "really good", you risk damaging the plug, or worse, the head.

    Maintenance Schedule Questions

    You might want to shop around on prices. For example, my dealer charges $72 for syn oil change + the multi point inspection. Transmission fluid (per Mazda) is lifetime, but if you look at the threads here, the consensus is change it! It can't hurt and may well make your tranny last longer...
