My dealer was kind enough to remove the long and short eye hooks that have a place in the spare tire foam surround in our 2016. When I asked about the missing pieces, our sales consultant said pretty much the same thing; the hooks are used for transport only and they are removed so owners don't...

I don't have a CX-5 with Bose, but have you looked at other shallow mount 8" woofers? A quick internet search popped up some of the following: 1. Kicker 8 Inch CompRT 2-Ohm 2. Pioneer TS-SW2002D2 3. Rockford Fosgate Punch P3SD2-8 4. Infinity REFERENCE 1000S 5. Polk Audio DB 842 DVC Have...

I didn't have the car long enough to dive into the finer points or the owner's manual. another good thing to know. Is "-" less sensitive and "+" more sensitive?

Yes. My SO has her peeves too (been married 21 years; 22 this July believe it or not), but they usually aren't car related. She leaves all the car things to me. My other car is a WRX (Base). It too frustrates me on many things, but most of them are inherent Subaru things; however, I still...

I looked in the menu(s) and there were a lot of features grayed out/unselectable in the courtesy car I was given. It is good to know that you can deactivate it. Shoot, the car I had might have been a Touring, but it had the Bose, LED headlights, heated leather trimmed seats w/suede inserts...

I had the privilege of driving a 2020 CX-5 Grand Touring as part of my dealer's courtesy vehicle program while my car (a Gen 1 2016 Touring) was in for service to diagnose why a new battery wouldn't hold a charge. Almost got a CX-5 Diesel loaner, but apparently the dealer doesn't want...

I'm cheering for more mazda aftermarket too, but if you notice, the aftermarket is built around cars in which the owners like to "hoon" around in (on road or even off road). The only real, current Mazda product that fits that bill is the MX-5. All other current Mazda offerings do not support...

Maybe red on the cabin, but not red on the engine filter. They don't look at mileage, they only look at condition of the filter. Dirty = Red, change now. My dealer does this too and on my most recent trip there (last week) to get a new battery and change the brake fluid, they marked the cabin...

I'm guessing it gets its power from the OBD port. That is definitely a mess. Start with stuff that can be put back easily like the fuse or unplugging the OBD connector. If nothing bad happens, start systematically dismantling the device and wires. I'm curious what the button on the Part...

What ^ said. I would think as long as you could provide a part number, the dealer parts counter could get the item. Now, if it isn't in the "system" because it is a non-country/region specific part, then I could see going to other sites. Of course, the dealer is going to be your most...

Had the battery changed at the dealer, for probably $20-30 more than me doing it myself [also used $10 off coupon...yep, ten whole dollars.] The first warning sign I saw after the change said "Dip". I didn't take the sign too personally. Hope you get your issue sorted.

Happy with or Nokian WRG4s. Had G1s and G2s on our '04 Pathfinder [255/65] and the G4s are more quiet than those previous generations. As quiet as a Grand Touring tire, no, but quieter. I realize the Entyre line is more road friendly, but our WRG4s aren't terrible in the noise department...

open deck or closed deck? is the 2.5t an open deck engine? if so, it may not be able to handle that much most as opposed to a closed deck engine. How much more boost were you wanting to run; plus, what can the stock turbo produce (reliably) before having to move to a bigger turbo? it might...

I guess it was the tech's time/labor, they were charging for. In any case, things are working so I'm not going to mess with it until absolutely necessary.

Will your Pioneer play nice with the Bose amp or are you going to bypass the amp? Then what about the Bose speakers and their funky impedances?

yes, everytime the big blue traffic info sign with flashing yellow lights tells me to tune into AM1700 (or similar) to warn me about something that 9.9 times out of 10 is not going to affect my drive Radio may be "old", but there is still a need (and market) for it. Other media formats may...

I have a 2016 Touring, non-Bose radio and during a recent visit to the dealer for a new battery and brake fluid flush, the service writer was kind enough to let me know that my radio version was a few revisions behind and asked if I wanted the newest revision loaded. My radio is doing fine and...

If I remember correctly from when I put DSC series speakers in my 2016, the CSC series was a replacement for the DSC series, which had lower minimum RMS requirements and were better matches to stock head unit power levels (non-BOSE units), i.e. the stock speaker replacement/upgrade. The KSC...

I put in some Kicker DSC3504 (3.5" 2-way 4ohm) with 600Hz inline bass blockers (6dB octave) and I think the vocals and instruments near vocal ranges have improved. It could be a placebo affect, but I think the music sounds more clear; at least the singing parts. Sure, the speakers are still...

I only have it when there is a large disparity between daytime and nighttime temps during the winter and the shade visor is still in place. It does not happen in the summer as the glass never reaches the dew point.
