Try to tune in the FM stations 91.5, 106.1, 106.9, or 89.9 then hit the HD button. You may/not note any improvement in sound, but you will see additional text information displayed on the screen. There may be other stations, but this is what I listen to. Brian

Odd, I have a couple of HD radio stations in Ottawa. Brian

Its not just best, but required according to the manual. Sadly, the jack raises only one corner of the vehicle at a time, making the rear-swap for a front failure more tedious. Brian

Well, the owners' manual for the 2013 on page 3-40 states that when using winter tires the inflation pressure should be 4.3 PSI MORE than the recommendation on the door label, but not to exceed the maximum recommended by the tire manufacturer. This suggests that you should be running with 40...

I've had these Michelin winters now into their third season. Very happy with them in Ottawa. I find them to have excellent grip, excellent ride and good quiet. Thus far they appear to wear well. I have recommended them to others. You can do better in dry and wet, but they can't be beat in snow...

Bastard! Rubbing that in our faces! Here in Ottawa I put my Miata into winter storage yesterday. Will not see it again until April. Brian

I can't speak to the CX-5 leather (which I have) as I am now an empty nester. We had both cloth and leather with child, and in my experience the leather was a much better fit with kids. This is mainly because it wears better against little feet that crawl over everything until you get them...

2010 MX-5 GT PRHT w/Flying Miata sways front and rear. Summer only. Winter stored. Brian

Winter in Ottawa can be a bear, too. I use Latitude Xi2 on 16" rims with the package bought at Kal Tire. I have had winters on separate rims and did my own in-driveway changeovers spring and fall since '77. Kal Tire had the best price locally and will do the changeover free as long as I own the...

Whether this works may be a function of where you live. I currently get traffic updates and suggested route changes WHEN I HAVE A ROUTE PLOTTED IN THE NAV SYSTEM in both Ottawa and Toronto. I also get the red light camera alarm regardless of whether I am using the NAV, in Ottawa. Is there a menu...

And he's not the only one to use this marine product. I have a fiberglass sloop which is out doors year round (although on the hard with the deck covered during Canadian winter). This wax adds a mirror finish that beads water and lasts into the next sailing season. I use it on the truck 'cause...

And now for the Canadian experience. I went the Australia route, contacting John Newell Mazda for the purchase and shipment of a pair of sand leather rear restraints. I placed the order in late November. It took until March 20 for them to arrive in Australia from Japan, but I was out of country...

Sent an email to all local dealers describing trim level, interior/exterior colour, options, accessories and requesting quotes by a specific date with a decision to buy to be announced three days later. All dealers would be informed of the winning location but no quoted price information would...

I have no idea how I managed to get this question here. Could the moderator move this to where it belongs? Brian

All: Allow me to display my ignorance for all to see. Being a "manual reader" I was surprised to see here that Mazda recommends 4lbs MORE pressure than that found on the door jam sticker when using winter tires. I went through all last winter missing those lbs. I first checked the manual - and...

Thanks. You are a Dear. Brian

That I AM an old fart may be the problem, but in reviewing this thread I failed to find the contact information for the dealer you used. Could you supply this for me? I want to order a set. Brian

Good for you. I called early yesterday morning and was told to bring it in for an assessment, but once I read to him the notification paragraph that the camera WILL be replaced I got a "Gee...we don't know anything about that." followed by a pause so pregnant that I finally broke it by...

"On certain vehicles due to insufficient sealing performance of rear view camera. it is possible that water may enter the camera while high-pressure car washing and/or water containing road salt may enter the camera while driving. With these conditions the rear view camera may not display any...

I have been told by some that I can have "tone" when I write, so please read this in the style of Will Rogers rather than Will Smith. Although certain that I am not an expert in automotive metals/rust I cannot be sure that you are. I can state that in ALL of my experience I have never seen a...
