    2017+ TPMS learn new sensor procedure/Winter Tire change over

    This past weekend I changed over to my winter set which had additional OEM TPMS sensors. Have to say, I love the process Mazda has as it basically is painless: When changing tires yourself If you or someone else changes tires, you or someone else can also undertake the steps for the TPMS to...

    2018 CX-5 GT Rear Bumper Protection Strip Recommendations

    Not sure why they would say "Excludes models with power liftgate" as the liftgate doesn't touch it. Wouldn't worry about the 3M adhesive not holding up to the cold temps or water. That's only if the adhesive is the true 3M material.

    2017~2025 Rear hatch opening by itself?

    Yes, my remote works through concrete. I can set off the panic alarm while inside my house from about 25' - 30'.

    Winter Wheels for BLIZZAK DM-V2 (225/55R19)

    Nothing is forever. Post them up on Kijiji and reset the situation. While on Kijiji, look for a set of 17" OEM Mazda wheels and then buy new rubber to match.

    2017~2025 Rear hatch opening by itself?

    I've had this happen to me a few times when I first got the car. This stopped as soon as I bought a key holder and attached it to the belt loop of my pants. From what I gathered, it was the other keys in my pocket pressing the button when ever I was moving. Mazda should really put a button on...

    Keeping backup camera clean?

    Rain-X actually makes it worst as the water droplets dry in small blobs making the image worst. After rain or like others have said, a quick wipe with the thumb when opening the hatch seems to work best.

    (stupid question) How to replace 17 cx-5 wiper blades?

    Let's make this even clearer.... L and R refers to the side looking at the car from the front or from seated in side the car as one is obviously longer than the other for the 2017.

    That was too funny but he is technically right that those are tie downs.

    2016 CX-5 rear brakes...Maintenance mode?

    I googled CX-5 Maintenance Mode and found the following: (since the PDF links don't work, perhaps @Anchorman can confirm the below) Mazda integrated EPB system caliper servicing without a scan tool Mazda provides a non-scan tool option for 2016/2017 CX-5s to retract the integrated caliper back...

    Cup holder silicone liners for 2018 CX-5

    There's also a liner in the door pockets where you can store water bottles as well. They too can pop out for cleaning.

    Mazda OEM Wheel options for 2017+

    Just about any other wheel from a Mazda model will work as the center bore and bolt pattern are all the same. There are differences with the offset but not radically enough to cause any rubbing unless you are lowered or some other custom suspension work. Doing a search on Kijiji for the GTA...

    Mazda OEM Wheel options for 2017+

    I'd maybe take a look at this thread to see if there's something you like. As mentioned by others, keep the OEM 17's for your winter tires, sell the summer tires to offset the difference for a pair of summer wheels.

    Adding an autofold module to my side mirrors

    What mechanism? All I see listed is an electronic module to be plugged into a harness. Yes the mirrors are collapsible or fold in by hand but to be automated with the module, isn't there a motor required in the mirror housing?

    Adding an autofold module to my side mirrors

    Wondering, don't you need the mirrors with the folding mechanism to begin with other than just the module?

    2017~2025 Brake squeal under moderately hard braking and while maneuvering around inclines

    Given that the car if fairly new, why not take it back to the Mazda dealership to have them address your concern since it should still be under warranty? No new car should have squealing brakes despite if you are driving aggressively. Since it is a lease, better to get it checked out before...

    New 2017 CX-5 Revealed

    Why would you find it strange that you can stop/start/pause/fast forward Sirius/XM? The programs they are doing now a days are basically recorded and are just recycled through out the day. Take for instance a count down show for the week. Content may be live for a morning or evening show and...

    Crack in taillight lens

    On the right track to seal it. With the GTs there's a circuit board inside the tail lamp and you really don't want moisture in there given the assembly is $$$$. Even though OP is a touring, moisture in a tail light not good in winter if in a cold climate region.
