    “Oil service required” Light malfunction on ‘19 Signature

    Interesting that the Vehicle Engine Control Unit is referred to in passing (without the detailed procedure) on Pg 4-28 and 4-23 of the 2019 CX-5 Owner's Manual: The manual instructs on how to reset the wrench via the Vehicle Status Monitor/Maintenance screen. -Specifics are shown to reset...

    Car and Driver

    From Wiki: I don't know what a tiger/iguana hybrid is supposed to conjure up...either an orange striped lizard or a tiger that repeatedly sticks its tongue out at you. Sounds like the Jägermeister was flowing freely at that marketing meeting. Regarding the original post: I still smile when I...

    3 Times - Major Squirrel Damage to Wiring

    So many squirrels So few pellets There's no way you can be there 7x24x365. The supply of squirrels must effectively be infinite. Then there's the folks who would not take kindly to your slaughtering their little friends. What a horrible problem to have. And I was upset I had a sparrow that...

    Do hood lift struts/dampers for 2017+ CX-5 fit 2013-2016?

    I wondered if it might be a length issue (meaning there's nothing you can do about it), but being new to the brand, I have no idea the nuances from one Gen to the next.

    Do hood lift struts/dampers for 2017+ CX-5 fit 2013-2016?

    Why not email a vendor and ask directly? Maybe you can make an easy mod and use the ones for later models.

    Do hood lift struts/dampers for 2017+ CX-5 fit 2013-2016?

    Here's a $31 option from Amazon, with free shipping. Interesting that most of the early model struts are more expensive than the later model ones.

    How you doing?

    They are NOT "community fish," that's for sure. Everything around them is on the menu. I guess the other fish found out a little late, huh?

    How you doing?

    I recall vacuuming the tank with a manual bulb-type vacuum with a collection bag hanging off the side of it. It still stirred stuff up. Love those fish pics. Very pretty. Never had cichlids...just the basic stuff (tetras, zebras, swordfish, mollies, maybe some bottom feeders.) A friend had...

    How you doing?

    Avoidin Deer goes on Craigslist. Searches "aquarium." dam you ;) It does look nice. So a few questions: -What's that bowl for? -What are you using for filtration? I've mostly had corner filters...not much luck with the under-gravel ones. But that was eons ago, when trilobites still swan the...

    Paddle Shifter replacement (2019)? (not the stick on extensions)

    I believe Kenstyles are clamp-on, but you gotta buy/ship them from Japan. Others here might have better ideas.

    Sirius XM issues on a 2019 CX-5 GT

    I've never had that. XM just was not there...it went to FM. I've had XM since the early days. As you stated, going to Station 0 is what you get when you have no subscription. Funny, I have never had any issue with my original Delphi receiver (still using it after 30 years), the XM in my...

    Sirius XM issues on a 2019 CX-5 GT

    Happy Easter, Bruins! The 2 times I had a "failure to load," I pulled over to the side of the road and turned the car off/restarted it several times in succession. XM never loaded properly in those situations. It seems that it needs to be shut down for some period of time to completely unload...

    Thanks for looking into this. I only resize my photos so as to facilitate uploading them with my marginal connection. Next summer my rural electric co-op is gonna run fiber along the power lines to the home of everyone who gets electricity (even a guy like me 1/2 mile off of the paved road)...

    For those eagerly awaiting Gen 3

    The article made mention of Microsoft's system being buggy. Regarding Mazda, the contrast between the quality of engineering and the high end "look & feel" against the infotainment system makes that system seem more inadequate than it objectively is (to me, anyway.) But still, it's such a...

    For those eagerly awaiting Gen 3

    I wondered when I heard "Blackberry." But then I found this Jan 2020 article about Blackberry and Amazon Web Services (world's top cloud platform ) teaming up. Apparently Blcakberry--through its 2010 acquisition of QNX (embedded vehicle O/S company)--"accounts for over half the embedded...

    I noticed it in this thread. I didn't think much of it because it's a thread consisting entirely of pics, and I am on rural internet (Verizon wireless.) Folks with unlimited high-speed don't have a need to change the size of their pics and aren't sensitive to this, so instead of 20 x 50kb...

    How is Discount Tires doing?

    Gotta be a COVID thing. I imagine each state's "distancing" requirements are a little different, so DT in Colorado and DT in Virginia are likely in different modes of operation for the time being.

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Man, it all hits at the same time for you, doesn't it? Didn't you have a slew of concurrent issues a while ago? And I meant to ask you about that oil pressure gauge. I understand that the pressure sensors in these cars are High/Low and not a linear thing (meaning I can not monitor pressure...
