    Tire Repair Coming Apart? (Pic attached)

    Normal, tech just snipped it level with the surface - it'll wear down with the tread too.

    Sunroof shattered...options?

    Seen a few of these from a number of manufacturers. Barring a rock impact (possible on highway) it may be a manufacturing issue. Tempered glass is held in tension with itself and sometimes a temperature jolt or small edge defect starts a microscopic crack that then instantly propagates and...

    CX-5 storage thread

    The CRV's storage is an on-paper advantage - the back is squared off giving some extra cubes in the last place you need it and resulting in its ungainly appearance. I carry equipment cases, dollies and cinema items all the time. It'd be nice if the front passenger seat could tilt forward.

    Odd damage to infotainment screen

    It's likely quite dilute, but I would not recommend using this. Isopropyl (aka rubbing) alcohol will damage a lot of screen coatings. So if it's diluted it's dilute damage, but still is degrading it. These days even glass devices are coated with an oleophobic coating that alcohol will...

    Odd damage to infotainment screen

    I've been using a product called Klear Screen for years that doesn't have alcohol or ammonia. MSDS just lists "proprietary ingredients" but my guess is its water, a mild surfactant (detergent) and an anti-static material. I only use it for stubborn marks though - normally just blow off dust...

    Odd damage to infotainment screen

    Generally anything with alcohol or ammonia isn't screen safe, unfortunately.

    damage from 30k oil-change interval?

    Lots of people don't do dealer oil changes. I keep record, but I can imagine that many or most do not.

    CD Player

    I pay $10 / mo for Spotify premium. I'd gladly pay $20 (or more) if the balance went directly to the artists I listen to. Spotify could earn themselves a lot of goodwill by offering this as an option at least. I now listen to far more music than I ever did before streaming. Buying an album...

    CD Player

    Spotify's premium option allows you to download your playlists to your device so it works with no internet.

    CD Player

    Streaming has put a bigger dent in mp3 sales than physical media. I haven't bought a digital song in many years...because I have Spotify.

    CD Player

    That's not OP's issue. OP's appears to be regarding certain mass storage.

    CD Player

    Prolly a power requirement issue and some (mostly older) harddrives need extra power. It uses USB 2.0 which doesn't deliver much. Just use a thumb drive or ipod/phone

    Anyone own a Dash Mat?

    Maybe OP just wants to feel snug and cozy; is that so wrong?

    Service Bulletin FIX USB playback and SMS Bluetooth! NB1/TOMTOM Only (2012-2015)

    You have a 2017, so this thread would not apply to you. In general TSB's are not fixed for free unless under warranty, and you have to be able to demonstrate the issue listed in it pretty conclusively.

    can BSM be added later?

    I completely disagree. BSM has saved me a couple of times from someone changing lanes or zooming up on me after I put on my blinker.

    Service Bulletin FIX USB playback and SMS Bluetooth! NB1/TOMTOM Only (2012-2015)

    Can't comment on USB because I don't use it, but the iphone 6 works fine over bluetooth. I've never bothered with this fix because bluetooth works fine. I'd also be suspect about a dealer claiming an iphone 6 can't play music on it. Dealers say a lot of things.

    2017~2025 Warm Up Time And Cold Temp Indicator

    I don't have it in front of me but I believe the section in my 2014 manual advocates driving "gently" (or similar wording) while the blue light is on. Entirely possible they changed this at some point.

    Kind of disappointed.....

    Spotify and other services have a download option so you don't need cell service. I'm a cheapo when it comes to cell data plans so this is what I do.
