Just providing a 3 year update (39 month to be exact) on my lighting accessories. Here’s some pics of the rear bumper LED lights (in place of the OEM reflectors) and the lower front bumper led switchbacks (two rows of LEDs, but the photo doesn’t show that distinction). One of my more enjoyable...

That makes sense. I appreciate you entertaining my ignorance!

It’s funny. I’ve changed every type of automotive fluid I can think off, yet have never (in 30 years of driving) never added water to my car battery. Clearly, it’s a “me” issue and something I probably SHOULD be doing…

Yes. And didn’t you find the link on YouTube?

Also, no need to install any of the older 70.xxx versions with the failsafe version as the newer versions remove the failsafe anyway. The 74.xxx versions were originally for the newer hardware (but NOT the "connected" infotainment systems). They were for the wireless CarPlay. Since then, the...

Having zero issues with my 2019. Just offering another data point.

It's the same system, just that the 2020 has the 8" screen (you can even upgrade your 7" screen to the 8" one if you so desire as it fits without modifications), while the earlier model years have the 7". The 2021+ CX5s have the newer infotainment system.

It is noticeably faster. I also notice that if I use Siri or any text-to-speech function, it now routinely (properly) goes back to SiriusXM (or whatever source I was listening to prior). With my .230 and prior, using text-to-speech anything would inadvertently leave the Mazda infotainment in...

Just FYI, for anyone wanting to update to latest infotainment version. Just updated mine, it took about 28 minutes total (I was on 74.00.230 w/ Music Database version 00.096.000). This update also updated the music database to 00.12.003 (which just means more album art is available)...

The tail end of this discussion is why I chose my dealer. Lifetime balancing (hunter road force elite), rotations and threw in 2 years road hazard. Get my tires rotated when I get my oil changed.

I would have been happy with 35k miles! I just replaced my toyos at 24k! Needless to say I wasn’t happy. My dealership did pricematch Costco and sold me the cc2’s for $220 per tire.

I like the enthusiasm. Reminds me of Ron Popeil back in the day :)

I did wind up going with the CC2s from Sam’s club. They had matched the Costco pricing for me and I was able to get another 5% from cash back site that I like. All in, it came out to $900 something.

I appreciate that feedback!

Curious to see if anyone has tried these on their CX-5 (looking at 225/55r19 on my signature)? I have a Firestone that is offering a good deal on these right now a few miles from the house. Secretly I am happy that they have the hunter elite balancer as well! I need to pull the trigger soon...

Make sure the posts match up to the holes. You can probably go to a local dealer and try the headrests in your car (either from parts department or a test drive vehicle).

Just FYI, if not already mentioned already. Many folks who ordered SUMA mirrors for the CX-5 had a lot of issues with them in the beginning: https://mazdas247.com/forum/t/suma-performance-side-mirrors-for-cx-5-possible.123873808/
