    Costco Interstate Batteries - Standard or AGM?

    Been getting my batteries at Costco. Take a wrench with me. Swap it out while I'm there and deal with the core right away.

    Nice. I seem to have some haze on the inside of my headlights. Your's look clear yet.

    Switched to 5W-30 from 0W-20

    Curious...if you had used 0w20 and noticed any difference. In Denver myself. The dealership recommended 0w20 so have just stuck with it. Sounds like the biggest difference may be the engine is quieter.

    Getting even worse - Infotainment restarts multiple times and is sluggish when cold

    You can pull it. I have a 2016.5 GT and if I pull the nav card the nav function defaults to a (non-working) compass. I've read several times where people have pulled the nav card to improve performance. I always use Google Maps via AA. I should be pulling my card. Ha...

    Switched to 5W-30 from 0W-20

    hmm...my local Mazda dealership has always used the 0W-20. Is the only advantage to reduce the engine noise. Always thought this thing was noisier than what I was used to but have pretty much become used to it. 2016.5 GT.

    CX-5 Android Auto / Apple CarPlay

    I don't think you can anymore. Used to be available online. But I thought Mazda requested it to be taken down. They used to be available at a link on HiDrive.

    2013~2016 Anyone try these headlight lens replacements?

    Just curious. I had someone detail my car ('16.5 GT) and do the headlights. They look better but there were areas I thought he missed. He explained to me that those areas were on the inside of the lens due to automatic car washes (pressure) getting inside and the lack of a proper outer seal...

    Odd Android Auto Behaviors

    Just curious. Google allows many of their apps to be updated even if a beta. Are you part of getting the AA beta updates? This could be the issue. I was for Google Messages and opted back out as I was having flakey issues. So far with AA beta updates I'm not really seeing issues but I have in...

    How to replace belt molding on rear passenger door? 2016.5 CX-5 GT

    No I didn't. I started at the right end of the molding and had to bend it a bit to get it out. Then slowly lift up as I moved to the left where it's connected at the catch.

    CX-5 Android Auto / Apple CarPlay

    That sucks. I have a 16.5' GT and had the hub updated. Have an S21 Ultra and seems to be working fine. Occasional quirks but I've been opting for beta updates as well the last odd months. But it had been working pretty well before that as well.

    Sounds right. Had my oil changed not long ago and it's set to fixed/5,000 miles.

    2017~2025 Poor display resolution

    I have a '16.5 GT with the 7" built into the upper dash and my picture is clear and sharp. At night it can be a little out of focus or fuzzy.

    How to replace belt molding on rear passenger door? 2016.5 CX-5 GT

    I did all the work. I was looking into some other things about the car and brought up the belt molding at the body shop (I know the guy). He said you can work it up by hand and then the catch (on the left slide) will break off. Then simply insert the new one and be sure the new catch is secure...
