    Does the 2019 CX-5 Signature have remote start? I’m confused

    Before heading out to look at a 2019 Signature (and ultimately agreeing to buy) I verified it had features I wanted by looking at the different trims on the Mazda website. For 2019 Signature I saw Mazda Advanced Keyless Entry and Start System under Touring trim features so I took that to mean...

    Mazda Mobile Start vs Remote Start

    I*m getting a 19 Sig that comes with oem keyless start but no mobile/app start. Can it be added? Then does this require subscription that you*re talking about? If so, geez. $38k for a small suv and no mobile anything? On my F150 I can start, unlock, see gas level and miles left to e, make...

    Break-in/first oil change on 2.5T

    I have it on my *18 F150. Popped off console stack face trim where cyl deactivate on/off button is, inserted a wire jumper in the switch, and wala, cylinder deactivation *permanently* bypassed. Undo it when I have to take into dealer for any reason just in case. Might be as easy on the CX5...

    Break-in/first oil change on 2.5T

    Yeah. Probably at least $5-6k difference in otd $ between 19 Sig and 18 GT too.

    Break-in/first oil change on 2.5T

    Thanks. Maybe I*ll just let em do it at the shop for a bit till the real world catches up. Starting to wonder about this turbo thing... overpay by a ton up front and then overpay along the way too. Wonder if I*d lose my deposit if I just tell em to give me an 18 GT w PP instead.

    Break-in/first oil change on 2.5T

    Figure I*ll ask here... I do my own oil changes too and am wondering how easy of a job is it changing oil and filter on the 5 (2019)? Is it a cartridge filter style filter or canister? Easy access to everything?

    9 Monitor/System same as 5?

    Is the monitor and infotainment system in the 9 the same (kinda) lame one thats in the 5? Same lower quality picture quality?

    Break-in/first oil change on 2.5T

    Interesting. I had a 17 CRV (new version with the little turbo). Nice enough car but very basic feeling. Interior especially. Lots of tech but plain Jane feel overall. Blah to drive too. Traded a Ram 1500 pickup straight-up for it. Then traded it in on a new F150 three months later. Not...

    Signature v GTR

    For those who like/get the parchment leather; you should plan on some type of protection from staining. Especially front seat bottoms. Dyed fabrics like jeans will stain them and they get dirty. The color is beautiful but it*s very very light.

    android auto keeps disconnecting

    Hope I won*t derail but...I have AA in my F150 and I must connect via usb cable to run it. Is it the same for the CX5 (2019)? If so, I won*t be using it. Very inconvenient for what it gives you over basic Bluetooth (not much).

    Break-in/first oil change on 2.5T

    Whelp I can*t argue with the engine longevity I*ve gotten from all the Hondas I*ve owned. If the Mazda gets 75% of the miles I*ll be happy.

    Can't find these floor mats

    Have the front Maxpiders in our Accord (which is being traded for a 5 Signature next week) and then got them for my daughter*s 17 5 GT. I really like them (obviously) and will be getting same for our Signature.

    Break-in/first oil change on 2.5T

    Getting my first Mazda (since 2012) next week but...I*m not sure Mazda has anything similar but Honda engines come off the line with a special additive in the oil and they specify you must not do first oil change until a specific # of miles.

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    First, it*s your money. You are the person in control. Also remember that a dealer wants to know that you*re a guaranteed sale - that*s important. If you*re not all in, don*t play till you are. I prefer to pay cash but if you are financing then ideally have your $ arranged before you start...

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    Most brands make you finance a pretty small minimum, like $5. You*re in the driver*s seat here. Me? I*d call em up and tell em I*ll give them $31000 out and will sign deal and give them deposit today. When/if they say no tell them to call if they need to sell a car on or before 12/31. In...

    2018 CX-5 GT Rear Bumper Protection Strip Recommendations

    I*m gonna give this one a go. Will have to heat the garage up a bit to install but seems easy enough. Also cheap enough if I screw it up.

    2019 GTR vs Signtaure Wheels Pics/Specs?

    No real help or answer but what I do know for sure is the Signature wheels are sweet. To give some perspective, my wife, who would normally drive a car with black steel wheels and not care, told me a few days ago, *I don*t care what model or color it just better have those wheels! :) If...

    Signature v GTR

    They took my final offer, probably just to be rid of me :). Bringing the car in from another location and will deliver when it*s there and ready. Must button it up by 12/31, no biggie. Don*t have deal sheet yet but I m sure I*m getting it around 2200 off (incl 500 rebate) +/- depends on what*s...

    Signature v GTR

    South Central PA - Lancaster/Berks I'd say I'm near that and have them down below what I'm seeing pretty much anywhere but am pushing hard for another 500 as I think there's still room in my trade number. Thanks

    Remote Start Options / Recommendations / Things to consider?

    EDIT: Looks like 19 GTs and up have remote start but NO 18s have it? Please confirm for me... None of the 18 or 19 CX9s offer OEM remote start? My daughter's 17 CX5 GT didn't have it but I figured Mazda would've corrected this by now. No remote start on a ~$43k vehicle...just wow.
