I notice this on mine as well ('18 GT). On a slightly related note, I'm absolutely pissed off with the quality of the rear rotors. I've got noticeable grooves on both rear rotors (both sides of the rotors), <9000 miles. I guess I'll have to have a chat with Mazda when I'm in there for my...

Mine is set to Auto as well. I've never once used high beams as I don't see a need in my use situation, the standard low-beams are bright enough for my needs.

Drove all last winter on my steelies/winters without TMPS. I don't even notice the warning light on the dash cluster, especially since you rarely have to look down if you have the HUD.

There are views/opinions from individuals who believe that brand new motors should undergo its first oil change early to remove "manufacturing leftovers" that may impact the life of the motor/drivetrain. If following Mazda's recommendations, you should either be on a 6 month/5k or 12 month/7.5k...

The manual says the DRL's "turn on automatically when the vehicle starts moving" and "turn off when you put it in P or set the parking brake". I don't think a specified speed the car has to reach before it turns on is given.

I usually don't let it run that low, but the last couple of times I've done this, there was 10+L/2.5+ gallons left in the tank.

It works with the v70.00.335 firmware, but it will require you to perform a serial hack (i.e. removing some interior trim and hard wiring into your CMU) and running some commands through a serial interface on a laptop. After this you access via USB.

I've been tracking fuel economy since I got my car about a year ago, and I'm with bluegrass on this one. My manual calculation is always lower than stated by the on board computer. Not a big concern for me, since it is within my personal acceptable range.

There's a lot of debate as to what the definition, or specifically Mazda's definition of "lifetime" is, and with lots of people on both sides of the change/don't change trans fluid camps. Many people (my mechanic friend included) suggest fluid and filter change at 70-80K miles.

BSM System I know the image in the link is not referring to the KF (2017+), but the location is the same. The Rear Cross Traffic Alert uses the BSM Control Modules underneath the bumper as Studum already pointed out.

I can also confirm my '18 GT was also made in Japan.

I was under the impression that all 2.5 NA CX5's were affected, but you are right. The Canadian GX does not have cylinder deactivation according to the Canadian spec sheet.

For clarification, I'm referring to the rubber sleeve, which is pictured in the middle of the two pins. That sleeve is meant to sit towards the end of the pin (the right pin in the image) which for the CX5 happens to the be the lower/bottom of the two pins on each wheel. I was just curious if...

Ah I knew this would come up. I didn't get a chance to snap a photo, hands were a mess. Check out here. The pin on the right.

Hi CX5 community. I just took apart the brakes yesterday on my 18 CX5 GT with 13,000 km for a clean/maintenance and noticed that the lower caliper pins (in all 4 corners) have a rubber sleeve toward the tip of the pins. I think it's for anti-rattle purposes, but noticed that even with...

Can confirm on my 2018 GT that there is no fog-light indicator on the dash.

I haven't set my fobs up, but can confirm that the 2018 CX5's have this feature.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help (re: videos/how to), but the process should be very straight forward if you have some "DIY/handy-person" drive in you. I've installed amps/subs on cars before, just not on a CX5, and it's not difficult. Let me know if you have any general questions.

This is for a non-Bose system right? I believe you need an Amplifier Integration Interface. Check out this thread for related info. My understanding is the Interface is plugged in line after the TAU (Tuner Amp Unit), then use the pre-out (RCA) from the Interface to hook up your aftermarket...

This one is an interesting topic. To me, the Centerpoint makes the sound more "central" whereas the Centerpoint disabled sounds makes the audio more "L/R distinct". To each his/her own.
