I bought a set of the slip-on tips from Ali Express. I would like to have tack welded them on. I wasn't confident on the slip fit using the interior pieces of spring steel. The manufacturer should have designed in a screw clamp like a radiator hose clamp or something. I ended up using some JB...

As I mentioned in my post above, I had multiple attempts at downloading the update fail with a message that there was a problem with my SD card reader or driver. I finally started all over the next day and that time it worked and I got a download successful message. I should probably check my...

This is why I disabled the DRL's on my CX 5 and never use the auto headlights feature. If it is rainy or foggy or snowing, I simply rotate the switch on the stalk to the on position. If it is dark out, I do the same thing. There is an indicator light on the dash that will tell you the headlights...

I just checked which version of the maps was installed on my SD card and apparently the downloads that I attempted last week didn't "stick" after all. I tried again and this time it worked and I got a message on Mazda Toolbox that the update was successful. When I bought my CX 5 last May, one of...

How can I confirm that I did successfully add the update ? The NAV system is working so at least I didn't mess up the data on the SD card when I was going through the download and update gymnastics. I poked around in the menu on the display in my car to see if there was some kind of verification...

I uninstalled the Mazda program and re-installed. Something must have been corrupted the first time. I then followed all the steps. The updates downloaded 100% but when I went to the install phase, I kept getting a message that there was a problem with my SD drive and to perform a repair. I did...

No luck for me. I installed the Mazda app from the link, removed the SD Nav card from my car and plugged it into my computer to create a backup first as the instructions said. I never got the prompt to make a backup and my computer locked up for several minutes until I could eject the SD card...

I have owned two white cars in my lifetime. Both were bought used so I didn't really have a choice as to color. But when shopping for a new car, I never even considered white. It just doesn't appeal to me. Nor would I ever buy a yellow, orange or red car. Good thing there are several choices...

I owned Covercraft brand custom fitted covers for my last several vehicles, My cars were garaged at night so the purpose was to protect them from the blazing California sun during the daytime when parked in my company parking lot, and at one particular location also from dust from a nearby large...

I received my pair yesterday. Same packaging as above. Amazon's shipping is weird. My default shipping address is my PO Box as there is no residential delivery here. The order was rejected so I switched to my street address, figuring that it would ship via UPS or FedEx. It went from the UK via...

No I think he means that you won't be taking corners at 0.9 G;s and need to have really good lateral seat support

I agree it is probably torque steer. A oouple of times after making a slow speed 90 degree turn I have floored it to pass a big truck in front of me and needed a minor correction with the steering wheel that I wasn't expecting after driving rear wheel drive cars all my life (except for a short...

I have had ny GT Reserve since the end of May, For the first couple of months I had some discomfort from the hardness of the lower seat cushion pressing against the back of my thigh above the knee. The seats seem to have broken in some, I no longer notice it. I am retired like Avoidin Deer so I...

Here is a scan of the notice regarding the caution against using tire chains on my CX 5. It was with the assorted financing documents and was not in the regular owner's manual pouch. Referring to the manual for details as the notice suggests (see manual, Sections 3-50 and 3-51) discusses the...

The highway from my mountain community had chain requirements due to snow a couple of days ago. The California Highway Patrol says chains, or 4 wheel drive or all wheel drive vehicles are allowed if they have "snow tires", My 2019 GT-R has 19" wheels with Toyo A36 tires which are stamped M+S...

When I bought my CX 5 in May I was fully prepared to buy a Signature when I walked into the dealership. But then I compared a Sig and GT-Reserve in the color of my choice and was put off by the color of the Caturra leather and the black headliner. The Carturra color may look good with some...

I just ordered a pair of the Bosch AeroTwin 3397014398 from Amazon. I got a warning about "This item requires special handling and cannot be shipped to your selected location" so I switched my delivery address from my PO Box to my street address where UPS and FedEx regularly deliver and the...
