    Mud and Snow inside portion of rear doors...Help

    I'll try to post some photos but this is something bothering me for sometime. If needs to be addressed, have to do it before my warranty runs over. Recently, drove thru a pile of slush, snow, mud, etc. When I open my front doors - either side there's this clear edge. All the mud/slush marks...

    Ceramic car coating

    While this is technically true but reality is very different. My earlier car had dealer applied $900 ceramic coating. It was even warranty for 5 years. However, the catch is - absolutely no automatic car washes. The other type of washes are : costly by thrice the amount. Anyways, I decided to...

    2017~2025 Tire Pressure Sensor for 2017 CX-5 - $91.74 EACH!

    I agree with YRW here. Due to following reasons: From 2017 onwards, Mazda could have easily done a better job as they introduced dedicated sensors per tire but I guess lazy to implement it. I am pretty sure if a good OBD scanner is introduced into the system it'll show these sensors are...

    Horrible vandalism - saved by sheer luck and common sense

    No, actually. Metropark parking lot, NJ, Iselin/Woodbridge/Edison. Amazing. 1000 cars park there. I know the cop, he's from my town. Caught him yesterday directing traffic due to snow ladden fallen tree. They have not caught the miscreant yet. A total of 7 cars - all between 2018 - 2016...

    Bosch ST3300 Oil Filter - Fits 2016 but won't work for 2017??

    Please double check - as far as I heard these and many more are no more being made by Bosch. Rather they have been outsourced to Champion Labs. Bosch only provides the name and charges royalty for it. There was some article I read where it was stated Bosch moving forward will mostly supply their...

    Is there a way to disable trunk open on FOB?

    Simple - that key fob has couple of screws holding it. Take it out, put something where it presses into the trunk button so that you can't press it anymore, re-assemble and you're good to go.

    Check user manual to see if liftgate has a dedicated fuse. If yes - pull it out.

    2017~2025 So just who designed the speech announcement system?

    Frankly - I have 2016 CX-5 and have scenarios where my audio is at a rather high volume and GPS notifications at half. I never had the issue you're describing since the audio tends to get almost muted and I can hear the GPS announcements clearly. I had to dial down the GPS volume as I found it...
