    heating/air issue cx5

    I have a 2015 Sport and do not have this happen. I wonder if there is some trapped water due to a clogged drain in your vent system.

    XM reception sucks. Any add-ons or mods?

    I certainly think the FM antenna is weak. Actually it may be its location that's the problem. Haven't found it yet. Why have an antenna signal amplifier if you can't provide it with something to amplify?

    Road Salt

    My opinion is road salt is bad for any vehicle. My 2008 low mileage Ford Ranger is a mess underneath. I hope my 2015 CX will do better. I am in CT and we pour on the various chemicals to keep the roads open. Time will tell.

    Crackling radio?

    I listen to college/public stations and experience some dropouts on those lower powered stations. It is my belief that the location of the FM antenna is the problem. Some have said it may be in the rear glass. Never had a problem with a whip on my Mazda5. High power stations OK, AM OK. If you...

    Coolant temperature sensor

    Is it possible you have a water pump problem? Low or intermittent flow. These days the pump may have it's own sensor.

    Question about driver side window on a brand new vehicle

    If you grew up in the fifties, that's where you rest your arm. Gotta be cool. That CX-5 would be uncomfortable. Now you know my age.

    Poor FM reception

    I have been asking this on my 2015 CX-5 Sport. Had what I think is a guess that it's in the rear window. My reception for college stations is no where near what I got on my Mazda5 with a whip antenna. Thinking about buying one of those adaptor cables and finding a place to put a whip antenna. If...

    2016 Cx-5 XM Cuts out

    My guess. Mazda said to engineering make an antenna that looks good. Engineering said it won't work well. Looks won out. I don't have satellite radio in my 2015 but sure wish I had a whip for FM. Still wonder where the FM antenna is.

    Pros and cons of the CX-5

    2015 Sport owner here. This car needs a real FM antenna. My Mazda5 had a whip and reception was great. The CX-5 is not good with my local NPR/college radio stations. Plus for me is USB playback for music. Love it. Old guy loving this new technology.

    Want to get CX-5 to Neutral with no start.

    Thank you very much for the solution. Once again I am trying to survive another technology leap.
