    2020 CX-5 GT - New Android Auto rolling out for 2023?

    Get in my car this morning, figured I’ll give the assistant another chance. Say ok google and all of a sudden it works. I don’t know if it’s AA or the pixel that is the issue, but what a mess. Phone did not receive any updates and I didn’t change any settings.

    You connect via Bluetooth or a usb cable? I use the cable so my phone can also charge.

    2020 CX-5 GT - New Android Auto rolling out for 2023?

    Yes, when not in the car, the google assistant works just fine without touching the phone. when in the car, I say ok google, I hear a beep and then nothing. Something is blocking the assistant while in the car.

    2020 CX-5 GT - New Android Auto rolling out for 2023?

    I just tested my wife’s iPhone 14 and Siri is hands free, no need to push a button. Something is up with AA and/or my pixel

    Woe Is Me

    If the brake pads need replacing so often, the caliper would likely be bad and the wheel would be coated in black dust, and most liKelly your rotors would be shot too. Sounds pretty fishy to me.

    CX-5 Jack points, Pinchweld Heights, Bottlejacks and Pucks

    I use this with a floor jack on the pinch welds. Seems to work fine, but I think maybe the metal pinch weld blocks would be better. I also place a jack stand under the cross member for added safety. FIVE BANANAS Jack Rubber Pad, Car Black Anti-Slip Rail Pinch Weld Adapter Support Block Heavy...

    2020 CX-5 GT - New Android Auto rolling out for 2023?

    hands free saying ok google used to work before the latest update. Now it doesn’t. I liked it and much prefer it. Hope they fix it. There are so many other things wrong with the new pixels, I don’t even know where to start. I had a 2xl for like 5 years, worked flawlessly. Upgraded to a 6 pro...

    2020 CX-5 GT - New Android Auto rolling out for 2023?

    Android auto is horrible. So many glitches. I have a pixel 6 pro and you can’t do hands free commands. Have to use the button on the steering wheel. I’ve played around with settings for hours and can’t get it to work. It started with the last update in November. Im not an apple fan, but I may...

    DIY Engine oil change and Manufacturer Warranty

    How long are people going on oil changes? dealer says 5k, but that seems really short for synthetic. I set my minder to flexible and 7500 miles. Carries me just under a year for a change. I changed the oil for the first time the other day. Oil was black as it normally Is when you change oil...

    Switched to 5W-30 from 0W-20

    Where does it say 5w-30 is ok for USA models? I only see 5w-30 listed in the “except USA, Canada” section.

    Prices for a full brake job? 2018 CX-5

    The manual for my 2019 honda Pilot says to change brake fluid every three years. I live in the US. I cannot see how brake fluid coming out of your calipers could be clear after 20 years. Brake fluid turns brown naturally and gets darker and darker with age.

    Mazda - Made in Mexico Oil Filters are Faulty

    I don’t necessarily disagree with you except when you say suspect quality. Where is the evidence of this? Just because a product is labeled as value or is cheaper, doesn’t make it bad. It very well may be inferior, but it’s hard to see a dealer selling or using filters that will damage your...

    Mazda - Made in Mexico Oil Filters are Faulty

    Just did the first oil change on my 2019 cpo Touring. This is what came off the car. If the dealer is using these I’m going to say these are safe to use. I replaced it with the same model number.

    Mazda - Made in Mexico Oil Filters are Faulty

    It’s considered a value filter so my guess is it’s cost cutting, and they are a little cheaper. But as you suggest, does it matter and why would Mazda engineer aninferior filter to the point it causes damage. i might be wrong, but it looks like these filters may have been around about 10...

    Mazda - Made in Mexico Oil Filters are Faulty

    Interesting discussion. Is there any evidence of failure using the MV filters? Any evidence oil flow is restricted by using them? Tough to see Mazda denying a warranty claim using a filter with their brand name stamped on it and it being a recommended filter For the 2.5l engine. If there...

    Prices for a full brake job? 2018 CX-5

    I don’t think the OPs quote of $860 is that out of line. Parts are going to be about $300 and it will take 3-4 hours to complete. Labor rates are probably around $120-$150. Sure, if you diy you’ll save money because your labor is free, but most people can’t. please tell us who this dealer is...
