    Candy Apple Red

    great color choice OldGinger, CONGRATS !!! I saw one in person on the local street and the 2017 red seemed like a deeper more reflective red than 2016

    How to Maintain Sparkplugs CX-5 Skyactiv (Video)

    ah, all good points, I'm used to the old style coin types, those are bad as mazdadude points out, the wire type as shown in video seems to work better, no actually contact with the sensitive parts of the spark plug..... still think it's a good idea just to double checked they're gapped...

    Bluetooth module detached

    hmmmm...... interesting, I'm surprised Mazda went with an active cooling fan for the LED's , I would have thought they would have gone the heatsink passive convection cooling (no fan) route. Most of those tiny fans don't last more than 4 years before they fail or just stop running.

    2017 CX-5 Rear Bumper Guard

    yeah, the clear type like what Dimcorner says are good, I never noticed the reflections either until I saw Mercedes ML's with the horrible reflections especially dark or black ML's, then I noticed them all on time on other cars, doesn't look good IMHO, I guess average joes or soccer moms...

    2017 CX-5 Rear Bumper Guard

    saw one on a 2017 red one on the road the other day, IMHO, it doesn't offer much protection, and honestly it actually made the car look bad, the red color is absolutely beautiful, but the owner installed the bumper protector you are referring to and all I can see is the reflection of it up...

    Set Favorite Stations easier

    I have my favorites separated, I'm pretty sure this is possible, if I remember correctly, you go the ADD/EDIT favorites and go to each station you want to move up or down on your favorites list, a bit tedious but once it's set it's done, you can cycle thru in the exact order you want...
