    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Hah! Never even thought of that! Do you have any info links? I'm interested in the how, but not that I'll do it, as I already picked up a commercial one for like $15.

    2013~2016 CX-5 Help Request: HVAC Air Blend Actuator

    Had the same symptom on my CX-50. It was a refrigerant leak (i.e low charge). I must admit I was confused as to why low charge would cause one side to be warmer than the other, but there it is.

    How to remove accent in grille?

    I think the point about taking photos, is so that you can know where to correctly replace the original fasteners.

    Best Tires for 2021 CX-5 Turbo?

    I have both of these tires. The Pirellis on our CX-5 and the Conti's on my CX-50. The Conti's have better handling, but then they are lower profile (20" wheels). Both have much better ride than the original tires on the cars.

    How easy is DIY for the spark plugs?

    Ahhh, no. Don't just tighten "really good", you risk damaging the plug, or worse, the head. If you don't have a torque wrench, you can follow the instructions on the NGK package, which says to insert and hand tighten to the bottom touch point, then use a wrench to turn a further fraction of a...

    Maintenance Schedule Questions

    You might want to shop around on prices. For example, my dealer charges $72 for syn oil change + the multi point inspection. Transmission fluid (per Mazda) is lifetime, but if you look at the threads here, the consensus is change it! It can't hurt and may well make your tranny last longer...

    Possible to add auto dimming homelink mirror without any programming?

    Ohhh, I did not see those. Then that is not the same kit as I had. Aggh. After looking up my old order emails I realize that it was our 2014 CX-5 mirror that I replaced (doh! - Senior moment!) Anyway, that one should work, even with the scotchlocks. :-/

    Possible to add auto dimming homelink mirror without any programming?

    Yes and no. Yes you can do it without any programming, no the wires do not exist. It's available as a kit with a new harness piece. I got one for my our 2019, but note you have to disassemble the driver A-pillar to install the harness. Still, it works well. Here's one on eBay. Nno...

    Requirements for sourcing service information?

    Why would you think it wouldn't work with Win11? It's all browser-based, and the files (if you download them) are all PDFs. Just ignore the "Win10 Pro" statement on the page.

    2017 CX-5 2.5L Crank No Start issue

    The engine in our 2014 failed some years ago due to no oil. There was no evidence of leaks like oil on the ground, so I now think it was not filled after the last oil change. Also, there was no warning light or anything until the rod knock started :( Anyway, I had the dealership find a used...

    Mazda Infotainment Settlement

    Did you read this thread? Warranty has been extended for 24mos... take it to the dealer and ask. Otherwise, you need to buy your own new touchscreen and replace it, or have it replaced.
