    Agree. They look like bad DIY flaps.

    Demand that Mazda Reprogram Our Mazdas

    True. But my understanding is that ALL restrictions are lifted, not just the recent ones. NOTE: I'm not a proponent of CD or iStop. In fact I installed a module on my CX-50 to disable iStop right after I bought it! But neither do I want to go back to the bad old days.

    Demand that Mazda Reprogram Our Mazdas

    Ther will be a long delay - or it may never happen - while all the challenges go through the courts. Part of the issue is that this does not just affect greenhouse gases, but it also affects human/animal and vegetation health, as well as just plain smog. Remember the LA basin before the...

    Red Seat Covers

    That's true IF your trim level specifically includes Navigation (not sure if the Carbon does or not). If it's supposed to include Nav, and you can't find the card, go back to your salesperson to get it. And yes, that's the only use for that SD slot. That's BS. You can get your oil changed...

    Nope. App only (unless you install an aftermarket remote start).

    DRL in headlights not working

    In US cars (at least for the last few years) you can turn the full headlights on and leave them on all the time. There is a timeout period after you leave and lock the car, when they will automatically turn off. I would assume (!) that this is the same worldwide, but I see you have an older...

    Red Seat Covers

    They may reduce the heating speed a little bit, but they will certainly mess with the cooling if not sufficiently perforated.

    Replacement HID headlight units for 2012 CX-5?

    That's interesting. Over here in the US, the 1st gen CX-5 got projector low beams, but with regular incandescent bulbs (same as high beam). I replaced the bulbs in the lows in our 2014 with aftermarket LEDs - much brighter and whiter. I don't know if you could swap with US-style headlamp...

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    I had heard that because carwashes recycle water, it's a BAD thing to use one when roads have been salted - they concentrate the salt content of the water and actually inject MORE salt into the undercarriage. Not sure if that's true or not. Anyone have any facts?

    2016 CX-5 Sport uneven AC cooling from vents

    Thanks for trying, but this would not cause the symptoms reported. Plus, replacing the blower would be a last case scenario. See above. Not the same symptoms. You might expect that (I would've too), but not actually how it works given my own experience (see prev reply).

    2016 CX-5 Sport uneven AC cooling from vents

    I had the same symptom with my CX-50. In my case it was a freon leak. Once it was fixed and recharged, all was even cooling again.

    Is the Turbo CX-5 noticeably faster?

    No one has noted that the 2014 is a LIGHTER car than the 2025/2nd gen. Thus the 2.5NA in the 2014 is faster than the NA 2025, and the turbo makes up for that (plus a bit more).
