    2017~2025 CX-5 H&R or Eibach lowering springs?

    In my opinion, it is a good idea to have more adjustment, then less. They can adjust it, to be in the green zone(alignment report), but maybe it's at the edge of the green zone, or not right in the center.

    Install a Backup Camera 2016 CX-5

    The gen 1 CX5 camera, runs on 6V. I don't know the original poster how he did it and it is working for him(hard to believe)? I had to use a DC-DC converter, from 12V to 6V. Cameras run on 12V. Redbaron, who is recently back on the forum, had a nice write up about this.

    Possibly a paddle shift swap into Gen 2 CX-5

    I downshift with mine all the time(freeway exit). Sometimes, it takes to long to downshift(when you want an instant acceleration) and then I can just flip it. Kenstyle makes paddles for the 2nd gen as well? Those are the greatest(what I have).

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    You guys don't have warehouse style stores there? Here, at Costco you can get a battery for ~$75(US).

    I had to hammer mine very hard. Hard to believe that they would come off.

    Just watch out, if you install an amp. I have blown mine + the amp, most likely because of this 3.5" speaker addition.

    I have these: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32625710095.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dX3gzec I have followed somebody on this forum, and I'm happy with them. I don't see a need to weld them on. I took a rubber mallet, and I had to hammer them pretty hard. They won't come off easily for sure.

    Bang the fin with a metal piece and see how it sounds? Low pitch, or high pitch?

    SkyActiv Oil Analysis Thread

    I'm going 10k. Usually I have to add oil around 7.5k though. That refreshes it a bit as well.

    Occasional Brake Noise Only When Backing Up?

    Thanks Red. Most likely that is the issue. I have already purchased the whole brake disc/pad set for the whole car, because I have just passed 60k. I'm switching to drilled/slotted, so it would look weird to have different discs at front.

    Sorry to hear, about all your troubles Chris. I had two accidents myself, since I owned this car. Never happened that before, two accidents with one car.

    2013~2016 CX5 2015 Original Head Unit Interface

    I'm not sure, just guessing, but the red one should be the gps antenna and the blue is the radio antenna? It's been like 6 years ago, when I have done work back there.

    Occasional Brake Noise Only When Backing Up?

    I have a noise as well, but even when I'm not braking, just rolling backwards and I'm with a 14' car, no fency braking features. Going forward, no noise at all.

    How many miles, until you had to change your struts?

    This is great news. Everybody was saying, that after I replace my stock springs with the CS ones, my struts will die very soon. I had them for over 50k, and I don't feel anything wrong with them yet. I'm on 20" wheels as well.
