'Panel pins' or 'Panel clips'. There are a host of different sizes and diameters used in cars. Unfortunately, those look to be non-standard and you may have to go the dealer to get exact replacements, but you could try the 'Help' isle of your local parts store (AutoZone, etc).

It's the wheel speed sensor, primarily for ABS. Getting the retaining bolt out is not the problem. Getting the sensor itself out is the problem. The body of the (plastic) sensor is a cylinder inserted into a hole in the hub carrier and can get stuck tight and possibly break when trying to...

If you can get the old sensor out undamaged, then you don't need it. If you break the old sensor though, you'll need it :). As I said, mine came out fairly easily, but YMMV.

Hah! I found the opposite. Sensors came out without too much trouble. Hubs were rusted tight. I ended up using a mallet and a wood chisel to try to insert and pry all around the hub. It came out eventually, but I broke the chisel end :(

That's only for "high drain" situations, but our remotes are not high drain. In any case, 3-4 is 50%(ish) more than 2-3. My regular battery lasts a couple of years (or more)! Given a 50% increase, that would add an extra year (or more) of use. So definitely worth it.

For all trim levels? Interesting! You only get the Nav card included on upper trim(s) here in the US.

If the car is older (as is yours), the hubs tend to rust on to the carrier and can be an absolute BEAR to remove (ask me how I know). If you are not a proficient mechanic, you might just want to have an indy mech do it. I would just get a reputable aftermarket set and replace it/them. I would...

?? The front of the CX-50 is already similar to the current CX-5. The front(s) of the CX-70/90 is fugly IMO.

SO, you'll have to pay. What's the point of asking this in multiple threads if you're not going to get it fixed?

Then take your car to the dealer and have them check.

Asked and answered above in posts 4 & 5.

Did you/they check the nuts on top of the shock towers (under the hood). There have been posts from folks finding they're loose.

My CX-50 has a touch sensor area inside the door handle for unlock, and a smaller one on the outside for lock. I imagine the next CX-5 refresh will do the same.

Ohhh, my bad. I thought he was talking about gauges. Yes, DON'T use polish.

Magic Erasers are also good for cleaning light-colored headliners and sunshades. Worth trying.

I've used both Meguires and Mothers plastic polishes on clear plastics and they work extremely well. In fact, it's more difficult to get a fine finish on black plastic than on clear. So, if it works well on black, it'll work well on clear too.

No protector. Try Meguire's Plastx plastic polish (or similar). Use only a microfiber cloth meant for eyeglasses. Sorry, thought you meant the gauges. Don't use polish on the radio screen.

You can change the (projector) low beams to LED or HID bulbs, but not the high beams/DRLs. DRLs work on a lower voltage to get dimmer lights, so it's not enough to light LED/HID setups (and even if it was, that would mean you have high intensity lights on all the time for your DRLs - BAD).

As requested, repeating my iStop-disable module installation how-to here... Many people (me for one) do not like the Mazda iStop function, both because the continual stop/start annoys me, and because I don't like the extra wear it places on the engine. It also annoys me that I need an...
