    I see the confusion (at least MY confusion). @Bronco Boy has a Gen 1 (I keep forgetting to turn my phone sideways to see sigs). My apologies for not doing that! Keyed ignitions use the chip in the key in order to completely turn over and start the car. Fortin and compustar basically act as...

    But isn’t that true with any remote starter? You still need to the OEM key to go.

    Huh? I can use my OEM key fob (lock-unlock-lock) and I also use drone mobile with my fortin to start the car. The remote start works exactly the same using other method. The car remains running (remains running wether I use OEM for or DM, doesn't matter) when I open the door, press the...

    I’ll also offer a positive perspective. I have installed the EVO-one my my cx-5 as well as my wife’s CX-9 with zero issues.

    I bring mine back inside and do any updates there. You really won’t have any reason to remove it again once it’s set up initially.

    Theoretically. But, there’s really not a lot that can go wrong. It’s really easy to set up the features firmware and decrypt. If something doesn’t seem right, review your settings, make changes and save them back to the device.

    I wired them into my 2019 cx-5 just because I could. In hindsight, no reason at to do it. It’s actually only used as a diagnostics purpose for which the lights can flash a certain number of times to generate a code for you to troubleshoot. I did not wire them into my wife’s 2018 cx-9 and...

    Looks like there was adhesive or some sort of film on there and removed.

    2021 CX-5 License Plate and Reverse LED Lights Upgrade

    You can’t replace them. They are integrated into the circuitry and are not standard bulbs. Just have a look in your owner’s manual (either online or in the glove compartment): “The exterior lights have either LEDs or normal bulbs. LED type Headlights/Daytime running lights Daytime running...

    Those CC LX25 look highly rated. I’ll hold out for a sale on those.

    Can Toyo A36s really wear this fast!?

    Damn! My wife’s alenza ultras were over $1k! (255/60r18, if I recall).

    Can Toyo A36s really wear this fast!?

    Which Firestone’s you go with? My wife’s OEM Yokohama Geolanders on her CX9 got almost 60k on them when they were at the 3/32 mark and we replaced them with Bridgestone alenza ultras.
