Well, it's a bit late then! But anyway, this was the start of my trials (& continue reading through the thread for more and other's reports): CX-5 Suspension control arm failure

Can you both please each take and post a picture from the front of (and inside) your lower grill?

You are incorrect. I just went outside and confirmed on our (US) 2019 CX-5, the CX-5 most definitely DOES have active shutters behind the lower grill.

How could that be? When a compression test is done, the valves are closed, and the stem/seals are blocked.

I understand your point, but at least it protected you from getting a large chunk of metal in your face!

Are you reading that correctly? Seems the opposite to me.

Went to get an oil change today and told the service guy that we had the ghost touch issue and I showed him the class action card we got. He said that was no problem and they'd done a bunch already, but that Mazda wanted to charge a $50-100 co-charge. I thought the whole point was that this...

You replied as I was editing my response. Please reread. Just say no! :)

No, just 2 heaters, the third thing (rounded outline) is a temperature-sensing thermistor. I'm not sure where that's located, but it may be on the bottom cushion/element, in which case it would be dangerous to disconnect that bottom element! All in all, this is a very bad idea. It could...

From my wiring diagrams, it looks like the 2 panels are hard-wired in parallel. No separate connectors. Sorry.

Been there, done that, and I'm right there with ya, brother!

He has a 2020 MY car. He already has the wired hub built in. He just needs the wireless dongle (as I said in the post above yours).

Yes. I added dongles I got off Amazon for both my wife and my daughter's 2019's. They are cheap, often less than $20, and small and just plug into the USB port under the armrest. Examples: Amazon.com : CarPlay & Android Auto Adapter

Interesting... there's a TSB out for the CX-50's for this same type of issue (though the cause may be different)... https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2025/MC-11014796-0001.pdf

Do not spray the silicone directly on the rubber seals. The propellant can attack the rubber. Instead, spray it onto a rag and let the propellant flash off, then wipe the seals with the rag. For a little while, but the silicone gets absorbed into the rubber quite quickly. Note: I use the...

Mine is a 2014 NA car (for comparison), but it doesn't have that connector. I *DO* have the homelink/dimming mirror though, and that is wired separately, so I doubt your connector is that.

Heh! Err yeah, I quoted you in my post! :ROFLMAO:

Data point: I took my (CX-50) turbo into the dealer for oil change/service this morning and asked the Service Advisor the syn/conventional question... he said their 5W30 oil was conventional and that's what they use (and were told to use) for the turbos. We all (there were a couple of other...
