    2022 CX-9 Battery goes dead, then resurrects...

    Yep, sounds like aliens, alright. Did you notice any unusual time changes, or bright lights? A 2022 is around 3 years old now, probably all of the batteries are the originals, except for the remotes. If you ran the battery down to 3.9v maybe you should put a charger on it. I use one (from...

    Just got a 2016.5 CX-5 - Tips, Tricks and MPG

    I have the 2.0L w/6MT. The engine rpm at 70mph is about 2710, at 80mph around 3100. I've found that in general I get better mpg at 70-72mph than when I go faster, but it seems like there could be exceptions. I don't think it's because the engine uses that much more fuel to spin 400 rpm faster...

    Spark plug dilemma (2014 CX-5)

    Spark plugs with platinum and irridium electrodes last almost forever, the metal doesn't seem to corrode much at all.

    Is that big rust bubble close to the wheel?

    Dash Cam Recommendations

    You snaked it from the rear all the way to the front? I was kind of worried about that part, which is why I used the bumper mount, which I read about on another forum. I have been thinking about getting a newer camera, they are all better resolution these days. I should probably be more...

    Radiator cap or thermostat? 2016 CX-5 2.2L Diesel

    Yikes! Did you reduce power or downshift?

    Dash Cam Recommendations

    I don't think it was an interior camera, I think most of them are designed to be installed on the license plate holders. I removed the plastic plug for the tow hook and just crammed the camera into that hole and routed the wires up through the trunk pan and then under the carpet to the front.

    Holy cowabunga, Mazda plugs are $$$

    As far as getting plugs from amazone', maybe it depends on the specific seller involved?

    If the camera goes anywhere in the hatch you'll have to get into the roof to wire it. The camera I bought from AMAZON was probably made for the hatch, I decided to install it in the bumper so I would'nt have to get into the headliner.

    Reverse camera isn’t ‘aligning’

    I wonder if you can test it with some help. Have someone press slightly on each side of the camera while you are viewing. The experience I had with my camera is that only a very slight change is visible on the monitor.

    If the camera is in the license plate holder you have to use the hatch. I put a camera in the bumper, using the hole for the screw-in tow hooks.

    Reverse camera isn’t ‘aligning’

    It is probably out of adjustment by a very small amount, like an 1/8 inch.

    Battery Change Is Killing Me

    Yeah, maybe it was sitting a little discharged on the shelf.

    Is my baby gone?

    You would think they make the judgement solely on the dollar amounts, but I had an experience when they paid almost twice what the car was worth for the repair.

    Battery Change Is Killing Me

    Is there a possibility that disconnecting the battery again to clear the codes would help?

    Mazda Air Filter - OEM versus Aftermarket

    It seems likely that some aftermarket filters are just fine. Maybe there are some that have certain deficiencies. I remember carefully comparing the air filters when I installed mine and I didn't see this difference in the gasket the post mentions.

    2016 CX-5 seems to be sluggish after recent oil change

    For cleaning the fuel system and especially the injectors I think that Techron is considered about the best so it's probably what the dealer might use. As far as the throttle body, I don't know how to tell how necessary it is. I might guess that the environment the engine is run in might be a...
