    CX-5 Frozen Windows

    you're not alone, my CX-5 windows got stuck also, I think you're right, the rubber Mazda selected must get hard as rock at low temp so even if it's garaged with no sleet or ice, if the garage is not heated, the rubber compound will still get hard due to low temperature. I was really surprised...

    headrest LCD (pictures)

    thanks yrwei52, for me, IMHO the adjustable LCD headrest matches my preferred driving position and follows the contour of my head, it may be different for others, I prefer to drive without resting my head on the headrest about 75% of the time, the other 25% I like to rest my head on long...

    headrest LCD (pictures)

    nice catch, yes, you are correct, the media player is meant for home use so it is set to 110V with an AC adpater, it uses very low power so I got the cheapest power inverter available so I can use it in the car, this is the one I bought, $16...

    2017 Front End...

    agreed, it also looks nice from the front, but seems like a lot of wasted space where there could be some additional aux lighting like bigger foglights to put in yellow lights for foul weather or LED DRL strips like newer cars, those tiny LED foglights towards the bottom lip like the new CX-9...

    headrest LCD (pictures)

    yes they are angled less than the OEM, I find the OEM headrest angled way too much forward that it's uncomfortable http://www.chicagonow.com/drive-she-said/2012/07/todays-rant-headrests-in-the-mazda-cx-5/ you can see in picture below, the LCD headrest is not angled as severe as OEM the...

    headrest LCD (pictures)

    oh sorry, I forgot to mention, I did not hook up the LCD speakers, there's no sound coming from the headrest speakers. I have the movie audio hooked up to the CX-5 Bose system via the Aux cable connected to my USB media player. Then I set the CX-5 music source to Aux and the sound is...

    thx, yeah, agreed, if I didn't have kids, no point either, but so far the kids love it, and keeps them quite LOL. we've been using iPads and iPad headrest holders, but sometimes they forget and it;s a hassle for short trips or don;t want to leave the iPads in the car on hot summer days....

    Upgrading to 59.00.441 question

    don't do it, if it ain't broke, don't mess with it, be glad that you have v55, it's very stable per new CX-9 owners. v59 is a nightmare, those who "upgraded" (more like downgraded) to v59, hate it and want to revert back to v58 and v58 isn't that great either to begin with. One 2016 CX-9...

    HID headlight

    pretty much, if I'm not mistaken the CX-9 OEM HID is a D2S type, see video, it's for an Infiniti, but the process is similar...... they show the housing removed from the car to take the video easier, you do not need to remove the housing from your CX-9 hopes this helps.... replacing a...

    HID headlight

    it might be a bad bulb, try swapping the bulbs first and see if passenger side light up, if it does than it's easier and cheaper to get a replacement bulb than replacing the ballast, I believe to get to the ballast, the front bumper needs to come out then the whole housing has to come out to...

    BlueDriver

    I don't have experience with Bluedriver but I'm sure Bluedriver is a quality product, but it's kind of $$$$ just for an OBDII reader, NOTE: if you leave the Bluedriver plugged in, it will continue to stay powered and draw your battery even after you turn off the engine, make sure you unplug it...
