    Winter Buying Experience

    I purchased my 2018 CX-5 in June and decided to get some used winter tires on alloys for easy changeover. The tires are 225/65r17 Firestone Winterforce 2 UV that still have 10-11/32nd of tread. They're mounted on alloy wheels from a Toyota Highlander. So I meet the guy to check them out and they...

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    If you're referring to my post, I did buy a panel mount. I sanded the top and bottom of it so that it would fit right there next to the 12v socket.

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Added a USB extension to the front tray to make plugging in my phone easier with a short cord to mount it on the dash.

    What Phones Work with Mazda Android Auto / Apps Issues with Mazda Android Auto

    Today I tried texting responding for the first time which didn't go very smoothly. Text came in and I said I wanted to reply. A male prompt said what's the message. Then it paused and the female voice asked what's the message so I repeated myself. Then it didn't ask me if I wanted to send it...

    Haha it just feels so natural. I'm pretty obsessive about keeping it clean though.

The first video shows taking apart the interior, routing the cables and installing the new aux hub. Second video shows the process of putting all the...

    New AA \ ACP Thread (with Poll)

    Finished installing everything about 2 hours ago and busted out a quick edit for part 2 of my installation video. Install was a great success! Definitely took a few minutes to figure out exactly how their implementation of Android Auto worked but I'm pretty happy with it. I really enjoy the...

    I didn't mess up. Mazda NY didn't ship my parts when they said they did and UPS said Tuesday delivery so I took everything apart in anticipation of them actually being delivered and they never showed. Didn't come today either. Emailed the dealer and they claim they went out today but still see...

    Working on getting it installed in my CX-5 today, just got the dash taken apart and parts should be arriving in several hours so I decided to film for you guys. Below is a link to part one. Hopefully I can get the rest edited and uploaded today. Cheers! https://youtu.be/Vd7d_-ugzhU

    I use the door jamb but that number escapes me.

    Took First Road trip in our 2018 CX-5..36.1 MPG!

    And no I wasn't calculating manually but if memory serves me right I have about 5/8 of a tank left when I filled up before the drive back. I've calculated past commutes and like most others the computer is pretty much dead nuts.

    Took First Road trip in our 2018 CX-5..36.1 MPG!

    Tire pressure was checked. Stock 19s. AC was on second lowest fan speed. There was quite a bit of traffic in both directions so 65 was about the fastest I went. Not a speed demon. It isn't worth it especially with the short entrance ramps there.

    Took First Road trip in our 2018 CX-5..36.1 MPG!

    Just finished my first "road trip" in my 18 From CT to NJ on mostly the Merritt Parkway which if any of you know is very twisty and has lots of elevation change. I averaged 35.2 over 314 miles at an average speed of probably around 60 using the ACC. I'm extremely impressed!
