    Remote Start, Cargo Tray, and Door Sill Trim Plates, worth the cost?

    I put in the cargo tray and cargo cover, whch covers the back of the seats and trunk - probably a bit of overkill but the back seats were the only area with carpet. I have a dog and would spend a lot of time cleaning the trunk in other vehicles. The cover and tray make it so simple and no...

    CX5 vs RDX

    I looked at the RDX in 2013 and the CX-5 in 2014. I really loved the RDX, the extra power was excellent. It was actually the vehicle I picked, then another year went by and I read some reviews with the CX-5 at the top. So I took it out in 2014 since it was reviewed so well. The RDX did not...

    Who intends to keep their CX-5 long term?

    I expect to have it for 10 years, maybe a little longer with a bit less than 200,000km on it before it's done. Really depends on how year 8 and on treats me ;\

    Are TomTom POI's a POS?

    Good day, It might be me - but I have a terrible time finding POI's with Tomtom. I had a 10 year old garmin before this that was much better. For example, in a new city looking for the hospital I get all kinds of choices when only one exists. They all look like it was keyed in by a kid. Or for...

    Mazda Canada unlimited mileage warranty!

    It's true, received an email from Mazda Canada yesterday - applies retroactively to 2015 models (got mine in August). Unlimited Km for 3 year warranty, roadside assistance, 5 year for powertrain and 7 for rust through. I won't put enough on that it matters, but a good sign (adding value rather...

    Carpet under driver-side

    It is just night and day difference for safety! I think that's why there was hardly a change in my insurance (about 200 per year). I find the carpet pretty cheap but whatever is there is totally covered up front to back so no real issue. I remember people like the old big boats of the 70's -...

    Carpet under driver-side

    Thanks. I thought I may have pulled too hard on the mat and pulled the carpet up by mistake but sounds like it is the way it is. Lots of differences with a 13 year upgrade in one shot :)

    Carpet under driver-side

    Good day, I removed the WeatherTech mats to vacuum underneath and found the carpet under the mat lifted up a few inches when I removed the mats. That doesn't seem normal. Is there some play with your carpet or is mine not adhered properly? Paul

    So excited to get new CX-5

    Good day, The Q10 contacts were all fixed when work granted the appropriate access. I do get the download messages now and it does download them - just email and it reads them (which is nice) but only 110 or 120 characters. I think it thinks they are texts. I can't use Pandora in Canada...

    So excited to get new CX-5

    I forgot to include what else I looked at. I read about most small SUV's over the past few years and narrowed it down to the RAV4, CRV and RDX. I didn't even test drive the CX-5 originally. I took the first three out on a test drive, same day and same circuit. They were all 2014 models. The...

    So excited to get new CX-5

    Here's a quick review. I've had the vehicle for just over 2 weeks now - a week of going back and forth to work (short commute) and a week on holidays. I only have 600km on it because I'm only taking it to the golf course each day. I did get a good trip to the cottage and had averaged about...

    So excited to get new CX-5

    Good day, Everything is working as it should! The administrator at worked changed a setting and the phonebook loads up. It will even read e-mail - not sure about texts though as I haven't had one yet while in the vehicle. It's as up-to-date as I can possibly get it. Thanks for all the kind...

    Solutions: Contacts in Blackberry Q10 / PC doesn't recognize SD Card

    Good day, I am an excited new owner of a 2015 CX-5 GT - yesterday. Had a few tech issues that I talked about in the lounge and am posting this to hopefully make it easier to find the solution if it happens to you. PC does not recognize Nav SD Card My Windows XP PC could not recognize the NAV...

    So excited to get new CX-5

    Good day, I will post this under electronics to help anyone else but for this thread - learned quite a bit. As the above poster mentioned, XP has issues with cards over 4GB but a fix came out for that long ago. My problem is that my PC only recongized SD cards, not SDHC cards. Anyhow - here...

    So excited to get new CX-5

    Good day, Things are looking up! The NAV system started up. I think yesterday I just used accessory power when I put the SD card back in and that is probably why it didn’t load up. I am behind in the maps (905 vs 930) and the software (10.851 vs 10.852). So I’ll have to deal with that...

    So excited to get new CX-5

    Good day, I had a 2002 Chevy Blazer for the last 12 years and a 1999 Blazer for the three years before that! It's been a fun day of playing around with it. I'll post some pictures shortly. I have two things that I can't figure out even after searching. 1) I somehow screwed up the...
