    Anyone have an easy way to do your own tire rotation?

    You just switch front and back? No X pattern? PS. I’ve never done it but curious.

    Ugh...Tired of seeing the CX-5 everywhere

    The other day I was driving home and as I was making a right turn on to my street, there was another CX-5 waiting to turn left at the light and a third about to turn right.

    Black is not a color, it's a hobby

    Good decision. That matte finish looks like a royal pain to maintain. Don’t even think about touching it with your greasy fingerprints!

    Black is not a color, it's a hobby

    I went down the detailing rabbit hole when I got my first black car, a 2006 Honda Accord. I bought a ton of microfibers and a DA with several pads and a bunch of polishes and sealants and other cleaning supplies. I tried out all the different techniques on it and I believe I just wore through...

    It’s not a hobby, it’s punishment for a wicked life 😄😄😄

    Parking - How Close is Too Close?

    I would not be a happy camper if this was my car. The guy probably just pulled in until he was close to your car not paying attention to where the line was. But it would take a remarkably skilled driver to be able to stop an eighth of an inch from the car in front without giving it a love tap...

    2016.5 CX-5 Windshield cracked, need opinions on repair/replacement

    I’ve only used Safelite once to replace the back of my older Honda Accord and it was not a very positive experience. I must have had a short or something in the rear defrosters because one morning while driving my kid to school with the rear defroster on, the whole back window cracked. It...

    Infrastructure bill contains back-door kill switch for all autos

    So you take a comment that is ambiguously political and turned it up to an 11. LOL

    A/C only working on passenger side

    I have a similar situation in my 2013 CX-5 but I don’t use automatic climate on. I just have it set to the lowest temp all the time. How do you observe the actuators? I’ve also noticed that the heater exhibits similar behavior except the opposite. My conclusion was that the left actuator...

    FINALLY got the Stormtrooper setup about right for my 2017 CX-5 GT (Canada)

    Cool! I hope you don’t have issues with alignment that make it hard to aim your CX-5 where you want it to go. 😁😁😁

    Need advice — 2021 or 2022 CX-5 Signature?

    I prefer to sell my cars to a company knowing I’m not getting the maximum price for them. Since I keep them for over 10 years, I don’t want someone coming back to me in a couple of months complaining that the AC blew up or it started leaking oil or something. And I don’t know about everyone...

    New love for Auto Folding Mirrors

    I don’t adjust most of these things every time I drive the car and when I do, I don’t have a choice but to use them. If the folding mirrors are activated, they open and close every time you drive the car. I’ve had the memory seat settings go out on another car. The AC compressor on a couple...

    New love for Auto Folding Mirrors

    I live in S. Florida, so the AC is on 95% of the time 😄. Folding mirrors are not a necessity to me. And if I don’t use them then that’s one less thing to worry about. It’s obvious from this thread that many people find them useful. I’m not negating that.

    New love for Auto Folding Mirrors

    I might be overly paranoid or pessimistic but I view this as just something else that can malfunction or break. My other car has this and I disable it.

    Picked up my new 22 GT

    Congrats! Definitely take off the dealer sticker. It sounds like you didn’t have a really positive experience with them, so why advertise for them? Also switch out their license plate frame. When I had my Honda Accord, I took off the dealer frame but every time I brought the car in for...

    Nice. Those are very clean door sills!

    2013 CX-5 Spotify over Bluetooth not showing Song info (Solved)

    I found the solution and wanted share in case anyone happens upon this later. The issue seems to be that since my CX-5 is almost 10 years old, it does not recognize the AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Protocol) version that my new phone is configured with. The solution is to go into settings...

    2013 CX-5 Spotify over Bluetooth not showing Song info (Solved)

    Just checked with an older phone and the song data shows up fine. Some sort of incompatibilities with the newer Bluetooth protocol maybe?

    2013 CX-5 Spotify over Bluetooth not showing Song info (Solved)

    This is a long shot but Googling hasn’t turned up anything. My 2013 CX-5 has never had this issue with any of my or my family’s phones before. I just got a Google Pixel 6 android phone and I am able to connect via Bluetooth and play music, but the song info does display. Only a music note...
