    '19 CX-5 Sig. - 500 mile report card

    Some earlier reports said that even the Signature edition didn't upgrade to LED turn signals. Is that true? The instant on/off characteristics of LED's seem to impart a premium look to a vehicle and ought to be cheap to implement from a manufacture's standpoint.

    Daytime running lights dim/flickering

    And probably out of a job by now.

    Test drove a '19 GT-R and Signature today

    Has Mazda finally put LED turn signals in the '19?

    Daytime running lights dim/flickering

    Is there any particular person at Mazda people are contacting to get a much less than MRSP fix for the defective DRL's or are people just sending email to Mazda's generic customer experience email address? It seems like the deals vary quite a bit and if I have the option I'd prefer to contact...

    Daytime running lights dim/flickering

    Yesterday I tried the 2017+ instructions to turn off the DRL's and failed to get that done on my 2016. Of course, it's possible I screwed up one of the overly complex steps, but it's also possible 2016's have a different method of disabling the DRL's. Does anyone know why we are having these...

    Daytime running lights dim/flickering

    Another 2016 LED DRL failure to report. Passenger side only. Given that US regulations do not require DRL's, I doubt we are going to get any help from the government. By the way it is the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that would have jurisdiction, not the NTSB. This is...

    Map Cost?

    Though I appreciate the responses, no one has actually answered the question I posed: What is Mazda going to charge me if I want to continue updating the maps? The fact that Mazda gives you three free years of updates suggests the cost of continued updates is likely to be less than luxury car...

    Map Cost?

    I just installed my last free map update--my free 3 years of updates expires next month. So what will happen when I log onto Mazda Tools after the deadline expires? Will I be offered the chance to purchase additional updates through that program or are purchases made elsewhere? Are the charges...

    "No Playable File Found" with iOS and '16 CX-5

    The basic problem may be that Apple updates iOS a lot frequently than Mazda updates their audio software. Still I know the audiobook is on the iPhone and I just can't figure out why the audio system says it can't find it. It's probably too much to hope now that Mazda will come up with a CarPlay...

    "No Playable File Found" with iOS and '16 CX-5

    The file size on the phone is adequate for voice-only reproduction. As long as the phone is plugged into the USB port, the battery is charging, not discharging. I drive multiple vehicles and playing the book from a single device is much easier, since it will start where you left off irrespective...

    "No Playable File Found" with iOS and '16 CX-5

    While driving a rental car last week I listened to part of an audiobook I had synced to my iPhone in iTunes. The rental car had CarPlay (pretty slick--in a Chevy no less) which made the audiobook easy to find and play. When I got back home I plugged the iPhone into my '16 CX-5 and picked the...

    4.5 Star rating at TireRack, so your opinion is definitely in the minority.

    Pirelli Cinturato P7 225/55R19 Tire On Sale at Walmart.com

    For $147.67 each. Free shipping to store. $12 each to mount and balance. This is the best deal I could find. About $20 per tire cheaper than TireRack. I got a bit over 40K on the original Toyos but wanted some good tread for the upcoming winter.

    music from USB?

    I listen to MP3 audio books I copy to a USB drive and had some of the problems mentioned above, mainly the inability to start again from where you left off--pretty critical for an audiobook. I started out using a regular USB thumb drive, the ones that are about 3" long. The drive's fit into the...

    Can All US Dealers Order Mazda Moly Oil?

    I'm thinking of going with the metered oil change interval at my next oil change. The dealer sells a synthetic, but no doubt it is the cheapest they can find. Is the recommended Mazda Moly oil a standard order item that any US dealer can order for a customer? Thanks.

    Map Cost After 3 Free Years?

    Can you buy a new subscription or do you pay per update? I guess it will be over a year before even early purchasers of the new CX-5 run into this problem but wonder if Mazda has announced how they plan to handle this.

    2016 CX5 LED headlights

    iPhone batteries aren't designed to be replaceable, but a cottage industry quickly developed to replace those batteries at a much lower cost than Apple charged. As LED automotive lighting proliferates I wonder if the same might happen with LED lighting. I doubt there is much proprietary content...

    Front turn signal wiring

    The hyper flashing is a feature to warn the driver of a burned out filament type bulb. Is there any way to turn that off in the Body Control Module?

    Did you get any photos of where you mounted the resistor and how you wired it in?
