    How to get live traffic on the sat nav?

    @MG1066, you have a CX-50 in the UK? Is it an imported US model?

    Largest tire without causing issues?

    You realize that if you keep the same rims but add taller tires, your speedometer (and odometer) will then read lower speed/distance than actual, right?

    DIY Transmission Fluid Drain Questions

    Can you suggest a particular type/brand or better, a link? I need to take (regular) silicone off something, and I was unaware of anything that would remove it.

    RTM - that's a configuration setting.

    Note I'm talking about a 2023 CX-50, but webpic here:

    Question about stop/start and different trim levels

    You sure it was a turbo? Mine is a 2023 turbo and it has it.

    Question about stop/start and different trim levels

    The exact placement depends on the model, but yes you have the right area.

    Question about stop/start and different trim levels

    The turbo CX-50s have iStop, so I'd bet it'll be (re)introduced on the turbo CX-5s again, if not already. As others have said, it resets each time the engine is started, but you can buy a fairly cheap plug-in module (~$30'ish) to disable it always. I did that for my CX-50 - I hated the iStop...

    CX-5 to be 86ed for CX-40?!

    I would've thought the "e" would be used to signify EV versions.

    That's interesting... never seen that mentioned before. Do you know offhand where to find the specs?

    The stealer sure wants a lot for all around brake work

    My Caramba! I normally do it myself. You'd pay ~$100 per axle for good quality aftermarket parts from RockAuto.

    2025 Mazda CX-5 Front and Rear Foglight Retrofit

    I'm SO glad Mazda removed them. They are useless for real fog and only get used by wannabees. The glare is so annoying when approaching a car with them on, on wet roads.

    2021 CX-5 Rusty door hinges

    Just use vinegar straight. The 'mix' was for Barkeeper's Friend (which is a powder). But wipe it dry as soon as you can after waiting 15-30 mins, and then spray WD-40 immediately after that to displace any remaining moisture.

    CX-5 NA Oil weight 0w20 or 5w30?

    Huh? I very much doubt the latter.

    2021 CX-5 Rusty door hinges

    This^ Or use some white vinegar or 'Barkeeper's Friend' (mixed into a paste) instead of the Iron X. Both are mild acids, and will have the same effect as Iron X or other phosphoric acid solutions, yet are much milder/less caustic than the latter. Wipe off and spray with WD40 to keep the...

    2017 CX-5 GT Android Auto Upgrade Questions

    The kit is for wired, but once you've installed it, you can then buy a cheap wireless adapter puck that just plugs into the car USB port. I got this one for the wife's car and it works just fine. It's actually tiny (the pics make it look huge) but there are MANY others to choose from...
