    Window switches on 2018

    I think the motor is different or at least has an extra part to it. The switch has to have a feedback to know when to stop the motor so if your window is more than 1/2 way down it wont' try to crank the window for the full window length.

    CX-5 back seat legroom

    Definitely more than my old Mazda3. We have an RDX and the RDX has a little more combined leg room front and back but the CX-5 is wider. I have a Chicco rear facing on passenger side and a Britax front facing behind driver. The passenger side will be tight for someone to sit in front seat if...

    Heated steering wheel

    Definitely feels like an on/off element. But it's not THAT hot. I find it warm enough to head up my cold hands a bit. My guess for the ramp up is to get it to operating temp quickly as opposed to 5 minutes down the road. Bet there probably isn't a temperature sensor so it goes on timer to...

    Fit a big ladder?

    I got me a 6ft fiber glass light ladder for in house. I also have a 22ft multi-position ladder for taller stuff outside and inside (not used often since the sucker is quite heavy). For more than 22ft need I will call someone to do it.

    Android auto and HUD compatibility?

    AA is not displayed on the HUD. I haven't checked in about 2 months for updates but I don't think that has changed.

    2017~2025 How to turn headlights off?

    Weird tangent. I actually was wondering about it 2 nights ago and tried pulling the brake while moving (about 30mph) and nothing happened, light blinked a few times. I figured that if I left it pulled it would engage but didn't feel like trying it out that day.

    I practically do all city all the time in Atlanta and I'm averaging about 22ish mpg. I took a trip to the airport at night and I was posting almost 28 ish.

    Throttle Blip on Downshifts?

    My rx7 had a 9lbs flywheel with a 6 puck sprung bronze clutch. If you made no attempt at rev matching on downshifts it would let you know of your ignorance with a hard kick ;)

    Throttle Blip on Downshifts?

    For more advanced versions look at some old Best Motoring videos and see how they rev match the engine before diving into a corner and dropping gears on manual cars.

    Who has done the Mazda AIO Hack?

    The one on front windshield? No. I bet you can use both the stock and the google navigation at the same time tho... PS. Works really well now and no screen synching issues. Easy to say OK GOOGLE, give me directions to nearest Home Depot! or sending voice texts :-D

    Who has done the Mazda AIO Hack?

    Well AA sort of works. I think there is a screen refresh issue on it because I get a black screen but the AA is definitely working. If I reboot the system it will work correctly but it's a pain to do it every time. Google maps is SOOO nice and OK google works great too! I'll have to play...

    Who has done the Mazda AIO Hack?

    Will this mess up future dealer re-flashes meaning if Mazda does come out with AA/CP support later?

    2.5L Pushing Some Real Horses With OV Tune

    Looks interesting. Any dyno plots? According to the vid the guy is running it on 16" wheels so could be way lighter wheels. I remember what a difference it made in my RX7 going from heavy 25lbs 17" wheels to the stock 16lbs 16" wheels. WOW...

    XPEL Ultimate clear paint wrap?

    I had a shop do it. Whole front bumper, part way up hood, and side mirrors. I wouldn't recommend doing it yourself unless you know what you are doing. The complex shape is a pain to get it wrapped correctly. I'll take pictures today and post later.

    XPEL Ultimate clear paint wrap?

    I had it done on mine. The side mirrors are a PITA to wrap around.
