    New Audio Unit

    I don't know who manufactures the audio unit for Mazda but they should seriously consider an alternative. The existing one is ok but it could be a lot better. LAW

    USB Cracking Noise

    I have a 2015 CX-5 in which the audio has been fixed so that it resumes playing the last track when turned on. I have noticed when playing songs from a thumb drive there is a loud cracking sound like a scratch on an old 33 & 1/3 record. Has anyone else noticed this or am I the only one with this...

    CX-5 doesn't run as well in the hot humid weather

    Couple of days ago I was driving here in Florida and had a dash temp of 103 degrees and humidity was high but I noticed no problems with the car. I was glad it has a great ac on board.

    New G-Vectoring tech to make Mazdas drive even better

    Will it add to the safety of the car and how much will it add to the cost? Seems to me that we think of new and unnecessary technology to add without consideration to consequences. In the future you won't drive you'll just get in, program the destination and ride. Is this what you really want?

    A better lubricant (maybe?) helping me go the distance!

    I didn't buy my CX-5 for the gas mileage. The car just fits me and is comfortable. As far as lubrication you won't find a significant difference in oil unless you go to a much heavier weight. I do use synthetic because a lot of dino oils have paraffin which in my opinion adds to the sludge...

    Dash rattle near/under drivers side speaker?

    I've had mt 2015 a short time and I've noticed a slight rattling also. I've discovered that while driving I rest my leg on the door and from time to time I decrease the pressure for one reason or the other and it makes a noise. I don't know why but it's not too irritating.

    Replacement Audio

    Does anyone know of a direct replacement audio unit that works with the existing camera and steering wheel controls that doesn't require any modification or adaption?

    Taking an Audio Lesson

    The main thing I find different is how it reads the usb. I had a thumbdrive with my music arranged in folders I named myself like country, pop, bluegrass, smooth jazz etc. The Honda read the drive and kept things in the folders I made up. The Mazda seems to put the music into genres it decides...

    Taking an Audio Lesson

    I haven't had my CX 5 long. I traded a Honda Accord Coupe for it. I recently had the blue tooth module replaced to improve the infotainment system. It did to a degree, however Mazda could take a lesson from Honda for their audio system. I really liked the Honda system. It made sense in it's...

    Gas Guage

    Thanx for the replies. Yes Ice I let the pump shut off then like most people I put it on medium speed and when that shuts off I go real slow until I can't get more in. Seems like it's another 3 to 3.5 gallons after that. I wish it had a bigger tank. Gas pumps have to be fairly accurate inlinev...

    Gas Guage

    I've only owned my cx-5 for a short while and have made two trips of ant length. I travel 194 miles one way to visit someone and return. Before I leave I make sure the tank is as full as I can at a very slow speed on the pump. This last trip it looked as if I might make it all the way home...

    New Blue Tooth Module

    I'm having the Blue Tooth module replaced in my 2015 as per the TSB to solve the same song playing every time I start the car. I'm wondering if anyone else has already done this and can enlighten me as to what I can expect once it's done.

    Yes I did test drive it but it never occurred to me to wind both back windows down at 40 mph at temps of 47 degrees

    Newbie

    I just purchased a 2015 CX 5 after doing a lot of research and I like the car. However it's not without it's problems like every other vehicle. Today the weather was nice enough to lower the windows. To my surprise and consternation when I lower just the back windows it sets up a very evident...
