    CX-5 Doors and Trunk opening by itself

    Yep. Same as mine.

    CX-5 Doors and Trunk opening by itself

    Yeah, I would steer away from the silicone ones. They get staticky and attract dirt. That's why I suggested the leather ones.

    CX-5 Doors and Trunk opening by itself

    I got one like this for my CX-50. Buttons are well protected from accidental pushes. Only issue with mine is that although the button positions are indented in the leather on the side, they are still difficult to see. So, I got a silver Sharpie and outlined the 'open' button - works like a charm.

    New Brake Pad Recommendations for 2016.5 GT AWD?

    Well, @Jmaz discussion aside, I've found that the rears on both our CX-5's (2014 and 2019) wear a lot quicker than the fronts, in fact I have to replace the 2019's rears now, while the fronts are fine. But I too - on all my previous cars - had found fronts wear more. Just not on CX-5's :unsure:

    Take the keys out of your pocket and see if it happens again. Could just be something in your pocket pressing buttons without you realizing it.

    New Brake Pad Recommendations for 2016.5 GT AWD?

    Don't assume that. The rears wear at a faster rate than the fronts.

    Australian cargo light kit

    I replaced the bulb in the tailgate with a bright LED bulb. Huge difference and no need for additional lights.

    Stuck in ACC mode?

    I have Fortins in two cars without issues, but it should be easy enough to disconnect the connectors and eliminate (or not) the Fortin as a cause.

    Mazda include any pre-wired spots or spare wires for reversing camera?

    I don't know if there are wires included for cars that didn't have cameras. But what are you connecting the camera to? The 1st gen (at least) cars used a 6V supply for the camera, while most aftermarket radios and cameras are 12V...

    Stuck in ACC mode?

    A classic problem is the shifter park switch. Try jiggling/pushing on your shift lever once in park and see if that fixes it. I had this happen in our 2014 and managed to shim the switch to fix it (alternative is to replace it).

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    My wife has been complaining about hers. Did yours exhibit problems while driving? I had assumed that it would not, given the touch screen is disabled (while moving). Also, where did you get a replacement & how much?

    Optional CX-5 Accessories Worth Considering?

    The Retractable Cargo Cover does not come with any trim [EDIT: in the US]. Also (IMO) it's not worth getting as most owners end up not using it. And if you DO want it there are many aftermarket ones (Amazon etc.) at much lower prices. As for the others, I would not get them with your car...

    CX-5 Cross Bar Compatibility?

    If you mean the factory crossbar for the 2016, then no, it won't fit the 2nd gen CX-5 roof rails.

    2026 CX-5 Made In..?

    That diagram only shows the % of those manufacturer's cars that have "final assembly" in the US. Not the % of parts in those cars that are built abroad (and so subject to tariffs). It also doesn't show the raw material tariffs included in that 'final assembly'. So, the answer is a complete...

    Dammit. You beat me to it! Where does this "Japan's import tariff is 46%." misinfo come from?
