    2013 CX-5 Infotainment Upgrade Options

    Are you blowing them, or is the paper separating from the frame of the speaker? I've had to reseal both front door speakers in my 14 CX-5 w/Bose because of the speaker frame rusting and separating from the speaker itself.

    2013~2016 Rear brake calipers needed?

    Hi all. I have a 2014 CX-5 Touring AWD w/112k miles on it. It is driven daily. Today after a long drive that was both city & highway, the rear end started making a light - almost squealing - noise. The noise stopped when at a standstill, and persisted while braking and even when coasting in...

    WTB AUTO START FOR 2017 CX 9

    I went with a Compustar 2 way system from Best Buy 3 years ago for my 2014 Touring and it was the best $250 I spent! No need to lose a fob to use it. The engine will shut off when the door is opened, but it's a small price to pay!

    Mazda mobile start, anyone have it?

    I put the Compustar CS-4102 in my '14 CX-5 Touring. This worked great all winter. As with the others, the car shuts off when the door is opened. I also have to use the Compustar fob for unlocking the doors after it has been remotely started. I was prepared for this and have no issues with it...

    Weekend in the snow

    Love the pic! That's what a snowmobile is supposed to look like - not like the ones that look like a quad with skis.

    Remote Start

    You do not sacrifice a Mazda remote fob with this remote starter. I have the factory alarm on the car. When it's installed, you get a Compustart starter fob in addition to your Mazda fob - they both are on my key ring. IF you remote start the car with the Compustar fob (and that's the only...

    Remote Start

    Just picked up my 2014 Touring from Best Buy. They put the Compustar CS-4102 in it. Seems to work well. As with the others, the car shuts off when the door is opened, and the parking lights do not flash when starting the car. I also have to use the Compustar fob for unlocking the doors after...

    2016 Constant squeaking brakes

    I replaced my pads on my own a couple of months ago and now they squeal only when braking in reverse. Any thoughts? I replaced pads before on various cars with no problems (Toyota, Acura, Honda, Nissan, Subaru, Saturn, Volvo)...

    Help choosing remote starter

    Check the Compustar products. I just ordered the CS4102-S-KIT for my 14 Touring. It was $260 on Best Buy online including installation. There was an extra $25 or so in additional parts. It gets installed in a couple of weeks due to my schedule.

    Remote Start

    I just ordered the Compustar CS4102-S-KIT for my '14 CX-5 Touring. It is supposed to work with the PTS without losing a fob. I got it from Best Buy online for $260 including installation. I actually ordered one for my wife's '15 Honda Pilot as well. The feature that sold me on getting 2 is...

    Auto Dimming Exterior Side Mirrors

    Mirrors are adjusted correctly. I can't see any of my car's sides in my mirrors. I still wish I had auto dimming side mirrors like my buddy's M3. However, I don't want his payment or insurance bill!

    Auto Dimming Exterior Side Mirrors

    That works somewhat, but here in MI people like to be your "wingman" and drive in formation like we're the Blue freakin' Angels of the highway!

    Auto Dimming Exterior Side Mirrors

    Does anyone know of any kind of aftermarket or modifications that can be made to the driver's and possibly passenger's side mirrors that will convert them to auto dimming? Quite often at night I get annoyingly blinded by cars & trucks with either high intensity headlights, or poorly aimed...

    In the market - How are the 2014's holding up?

    55k miles on my 2014 Touring and absolutely no problems. I'm OK with the Bose sound system and the factory nav is OK (I use Waze most of the time). Bluetooth works well enough. The only thing I've done is put Conti Truecontacts on at 48k miles. That made a huge difference! My only issue is...
