I think the desired speaking is after its all automatically connected as you described.

I had a warning light one time for oil on my 2018. And it was after I'd gone to the dealer for something completely unrelated, like Android Auto install, or recall or something. And they informed me afterwards that I had too much oil, and they had removed some. That pissed me off. I didn't...

I think its a lot more sophisticated than that statement suggests. From my recollection, it uses a lot of sensing input and calculation to infer conditions and can apply braking to each wheel independently in addition to adjusting the relative front/rear power distribution. And they do talk...

I could probably dig up some Dave Coleman tech talk videos for the 2nd gen CX-5, which is the basis for the 2023. But it wouldn't cover the recent refinements and off-road mode and such, if that's what you are after.

Interesting. I've had ramps, but never found a good use for them. I think I got rid of them, not worth fishing out. But I do have a scrap piece of 2x10, and I'm due for an oil change in the next few weeks. Perhaps I'll just drive up on one thickness on the passenger front tire and see if...

2nd Gen CX-5 has under cladding. You can't see the Fumoto valve or drain plug until you remove a panel.

There is no need to lift the CX5 to do an oil change.

I don't use ramp, have Fumoto valve. Only tool needed is screw driver to pull the clips. Hardest part is disposing of oil filter, emptying, cleaning catch pan and funnel. I keep the records on Mazda's Owners site. Also usually send myself and email with the mileage and such.

I guess user interfaces are subjective. I'm glad you are happy with it. Mazda seems to generally make great design decisions and has excellent engineering, so I will consider that it may be not to my taste, but may work for others. Do you have experience using other navigation interfaces...

I still have the 2000 Acura, but had resorted to using a phone mounted on the windshield. My complaints about the Mazda are the interface. It is clunky, unresponsive, and non-intuitive. It shouldn't take more than 3 minutes to learn how to use. Shouldn't take more than two steps to navigate...

The navigation is worse than my 2000 Acura was. Fortunately they added Android Auto retrofit for my 2018. Just wish it could integrate with the turn by turn arrows in the heads up display.

I'm confused. You essentially hit the brakes at the same time that auto braking engaged. You didn't hit the car. That sounds about just right. Did the antilock kick in? I imagine the safety braking waits until it needs to be very aggressive and then engages hard.

The drain OP wants to measure would be upstream of this device.

Some grades of stainless are attracted to magnets.

Thanks for describing how to program the position. I wondered how that might be accomplished, and that seems like a clever, and straightforward solution.

I think the blame is seemingly unnecessarily using non-standard attachment hardware scheme so that most existing after-market wipers don't fit.

I went out of my way to get blanks from Powerstop.

Those look like Fords with a Mazda badge.

I'm a mechanical Engineer. The spec is probably 26 with a 15% tolerance either direction. Their specical spec takes the math out of it. They could say 26 +/- 4. Or just say 26, with an asterisk regarding the tolerance. But that might be too complicated for some folks. Personally I...

That cautions hurts Mazda's credibility. What's so special about their wheels? I have aftermarket wheels and my original Mazda TPMS sensors, zero issues. I was cheap and didn't put sensors on my winter wheels. Next time, if there is one, I'll use aftermarket.
