    Daytime running lights dim/flickering

    anyone know what the 2017-18 uses for the the style of LEDs for the DRL? I tried to find individual dot matrix LEDs but I could not-yet it doesn't look like fiber optic either since it isn't that bright

    grats on the twins. i have two kids of my own--4 and 2. i jumped for joy the day the seats could go forward facing lol. my wife has a highlander and we had a friends infant behind the driver seat and i still had to push the seat up more than i wanted to in order to provide safe space for car...

    is the CX-5 a feminine car?

    I think no matter what all cuvs will be branded as feminine because theyre not quite a full fledged suv or a truck. Its a horrible misconception though because theyre a great blend of a sedan and an suv in one package with incredible utility. Even for people without families its still helpful to...

    Door protector side moldings

    curious as to how these things protect your car. if like a shopping cart hits it from the side, the protector would act a bumper of sorts?

    Anyone own a Dash Mat?

    a dash pad isn't for mitigating dust. it's for protecting against sun damage, but personally i would use a sun shade instead since it will protect all of the inside and not just the dash

    Summer Floor Mats

    Wish I had more to provide but I just use all weather mats. I think its silly to change mats since mud which can occur all year round isnt much different than tracking in snow/dirt

    How useful are the 2017 GT fogs?

    Ive never been in a situation where I was like these fog lights really helped me out! But the led fogs on the Cx5 do noticeably light up the lower part of the road close to your vehicle but the difference is really negligible. However, they look badass at night

    LED turn signals for 2017-2018 CX5

    Thanks. So because the housing is so small and the stock ambers are bright anyway, the difference appears negligible at best. Not worth it then.

    CX5 Got hit today in the rear left

    thankfully the damage is superficial and can be restored to good as new basically, but my god what is wrong with people in parking lots. some lady nearly totaled my 2000 s40 years ago because she backed up into it while I was working inside the building. thankfully she was honest and called the...

    can BSM be added later?

    they did in the second gen CX5, but even in the first gen I thought the visibility was great. At that point I had only test driven a 2014 CRV and a 2016 Rav4 but both of those cars had less visibility--at least for me

    2017 Mazda CX-5 GT Tech - Smart City Break Support

    logan, instead of disabling the safety feature, reduce it from the default "medium" state to "near" so it lowers the sensitivity. Also the radar part (the emblem on the grill) is only used in speeds above 18mph (it also uses the camera on windshield). slower speeds (2-18mph) it uses only the...

    LED turn signals for 2017-2018 CX5

    you can see what i'm talking about here: (around 4:10) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__x3cEPphPQ see how the LED turn signal is resting above the headlight? i wish the cx5 was like that instead of integrating it inside of the headlight itself

    front blinker replacement help

    what else is non stock about the car? sounds like the issue w/ blinker was user error given you installed switchbacks as part of the led turn signal installation. sad to see you're having these problems though.

    LED turn signals for 2017-2018 CX5

    As far as I'm aware, the turn signals in the GT trim of 2017-18 CX5s are using incandescent or halogen bulbs for the turn signal and I was wondering if anyone had any luck replacing with LEDs. Was it hard to get to them and did you have to put any sort of control box between them or was it plug...

    can BSM be added later?

    BSM is helpful for sure but the cost to add it retoactively isn't worth it. Instead, opt for one of those mirror add-ons like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074V5YH5T/?tag=m20b7-20 even with blind spot monitoring, i still look to make sure so i don't actually find it all that useful. what i...
