    CX-5 CarPlay Connectivity Issue

    My car is from 2020 and it doesn't have bluetooth CarPlay/Android Auto, just through cable. So you might want to use a cable to connect your iPhone to the car and take advantage of the CarPlay.

    Maintenance Schedule Questions

    Per the maintenance manual, rear differential fluid service is recommended only if you drove the car through high water. It wouldn't hurt to familiarize with the manual of your car before you go to the dealership, that way you know when he's trying to take advantage of you.

    A lot of Mazda drivers here, including me, would disagree with the OEM statement. I am at my third set of NKG spark plugs and no problems at all. I am using NKG Laser Iridium ILKAR7L11. How do I know about these spark plugs? From this forum.
