    2019 CX-5 Non-turbo: Source for Mazda oil and filters other than dealer?

    2019 CX-5 Differentials: Do they have drain plugs?

    Ahh. I thought that might be it. Dodge pickup rear ends are a bit touchy that way.

    2019 CX-5 Differentials: Do they have drain plugs?

    Thanks guys.... erhayes: what do you mean by, "...a guide on levels, etc."? My plan all along since we got this car NEW, was to stay with the dealer's $70 LOF, tire rotation and car wash until the 3-yr. BtoB Warranty had expired. Then, move to independent mechanic here. Three years have...

    2019 CX-5 Differentials: Do they have drain plugs?

    I'm coming up on 30,000 miles on our 2019 CX-5. Dealer says we need to have them do a brake fluid flush and replace fluid in both differentials. For a mere $750.00 before taxes. Ha. Most here say neither is required at all per Mazda. Is IT? Through the years many have suggested changing...

    2019 CX-5 GT: Does my car have voice actuated cell calling feature?

    Last night I went out to the car and gave it a try. I discovered the, "button," to use was the one between the, "off-hook," cell button, (far left, bottom), and the top button for increasing volume. I pressed it, heard a beep and said, "call xyz." It did. Now.....I did have my iPhone 6S in...

    2019 CX-5 GT: Does my car have voice actuated cell calling feature?

    Perfect. Thank you. Interestingly, in my glove box manual folder/packet, there is NO separate infotainment manual. In the BIG manual, there is NO "infotainment" heading in the index. Information may well be there, but it might require thumbing through all zillion pages. Your link told me...

    2019 CX-5 GT: Does my car have voice actuated cell calling feature?

    2019 CX-5: Our iPhones work just find interconnected wirelessly with the car. Mic/speakers cut in when calling/receiving calls, (music cut out during call) It's a great feature. This past week end riding with my Cousin in his 2015 Ford pickup, he often spoke up saying, "Call John Doe on...

    Thank you, everyone. 1. Are we talking about the main Mazda website/access? Or, the.....MyMazda site? For map updates???????? I've spend 90 minutes struggling with MyMazda today. Finally got past passwords, only to hit a screen that was all black, (url line said something like...

    Tips before I try to update 2019 CX-5 Nav maps?

    I had understood from earlier post here, that the Mazda dealer will update car's navigation maps for free until the 3-year bumper-to-bumper warranty expired. Twice, (again today), I asked my dealer if he could do that. Both times he said they do NOT do that, the car's owner does it himself...

    2019 CX-5 nearing end of BtoB warranty: What to do before it ends? Tips?

    Thank you. I do already have a card reader. Puzzled a little though at your suggestion. Are you saying get the card reader so I can plug car's SD into my computer to download updates myself? (Logical) I've been told I can go to Mazda site and do just that myself, but wouldn't it be better...

    2019 CX-5 nearing end of BtoB warranty: What to do before it ends? Tips?

    ceric, thanks. When my side mirrors decided to only operate a third of required travel, it was the morning after dealer did LOF and WASHED our car. Coincidence? Ha. I intended to, "film," the failure but by the time I got to it in the afternoon, they'd began working again. I called and...

    2019 CX-5 nearing end of BtoB warranty: What to do before it ends? Tips?

    Another question, planning ahead: I checked with our dealer's service writer yesterday about setting up a LOF service before 3-year time out. Asked him if there were any, "surprise," required services coming up. He said nothing until 30,000 miles where we need to have both differentials...

    Ah!! So today we go to town and my LH half-dead folding mirror is working fine............ Warmer day today. No rain lately. This originally failed several days ago, prompting my originating this thread. The day before it failed I'd had it into the dealer for LOF. As part of their...

    2019 CX-5 Folding side mirror when locking; LS stopped fully folding. Tips?

    Good Lord!!! This is insane! I'm 79 years old. We have 4 months left on our 3-year bumper-to-bumper warranty. 22,000 miles on car. This was to be our last, and only 2nd ever new car. I hope the rest of our CX-5 is decent. Our first new car was an '89 Volvo 244. Still have it; runs great...
