    Exhaust seepage???

    So there must be some threshold that is met then. Heck I could try the same experiment with the recirc on and opening a window a crack instead of the fresh air intake. That said, I think adjusting the rear latch may have sorted things. Further testing is needed to confirm (like when I'm not...

    Exhaust seepage???

    Kind of like when one is driving a vehicle with a roll-down back window, the tailpipe smell gets worse once you open any side windows. In regular weather I use fresh air intake to moderate the cabin climate and then I'll hit recirc in cold weather to warm up the cabin quicker, the same (but...

    Ipod question

    Yes that's you're problem there, most batteries don't produce the normal output below freezing and need to warm up before that will happen.

    Ipod question

    Vorrent, did you get one of these and if so did it work as suggested later in the thread? I ask because I have one and I cannot get it to work via the USB connection whereas my iPhone 4 and older iPod work fine this way. Of course it works fine through the aux input. Anyone with insight please...

    Exhaust seepage???

    Yeah know... I noticed that the hatch didn't always close quite as solidly as I thought it should. So just now I played with the latch adjustment some to snug in the closure after looking at the seals and such, as well as using some Armor All to coat the door side to see where it may or may not...

    Exhaust seepage???

    Hmmm yeah I think you're right about that, it hadn't occurred to me. My wrenching experience stopped at 70's british bikes and Swedish wagons and a lot has happened since then lol

    Exhaust seepage???

    Thanks for the info, it was suggested to idle the car after it had warmed up and sniff around for leaks (front of car, underneath, under the hood etc), which is something I'll do tomorrow. It's also possible something has dropped onto the exhaust somewhere and emits a similar smell, and granted...

    What aftermarket head unit fits the CX-5?

    the Metra site does have a CX-5 configurator and as mongo2004 has mentioned, you'll need the Honda ant adptr 40-HD10.

    Justa little gripe about lossless WMA

    Hmmm the thought occured to me that maybe the software you're using to encode is creating the problem. Do you have another way to encode a raw track?

    Exhaust seepage???

    Exhaust seepage into cabin??? I've been smelling this for the past week, it seems like when I've set the recirc button to fresh air intake I can smell something akin to exhaust. Fan on or not btw. I had thought originally that maybe it was another car since I had been following an older...

    Justa little gripe about lossless WMA

    Hmmmm yeah that would be a problem. Just out of curiosity, have you tried any other lossless formats besides WMA to see what works with the CX-5 system? I don't think it's the bitrate per se, but probably the system doesn't handle lossless at that rate. Lossy at any rate, is probably easy as...

    What aftermarket head unit fits the CX-5?

    Crutchfield doesn't show anything for the CX-5 either which really surprises me. That said, I have seen at least one install either here or at Mazdaforums but I don't recall the username or the HU, they provided a general Mazda radio pinout plus a wiring diagram for the CX-5.

    Justa little gripe about lossless WMA

    Any reason to use such a high rate for car audio?

    First 2014 in Minnesota?

    Judging from those images, the Meteor Gray is darker with a tad bit of magenta but in actuality the Meteor Gray in the pics isn't as dark as Metro Gray is in real life (and for that matter the LSM model they show is far lighter than the LSM I see every day...) so I would take these examples with...

    About 4 months into CX-5 ownership, just some thoughts

    Anyone have, see or hear about the aftermarket ones from Leatherseats or Autoseatskins? Heck I'm willing to try those out and yeah it's DIY leather work but I really miss leather on the steering wheel... I concur with the OP's review as well, though I'm not as experienced with a MT so the rev...

    First 2014 in Minnesota?

    Congrats fellow Minnesotan! Well it's been a while since I lived there, but I still call it home. Look underneath the forum banner, H and A sells them at a reasonable cost with the install kit.

    A other rattle booo

    I thought maybe that was the case, but I've found on other forums that posting links to other clubs/rival forums often to be taboo. Thanks Trevor!

    Look up a few posts... Saw a white one heading south on I-5 Monday and a metro gray one heading west on SR-52 this morning...

    A other rattle booo

    There's a TSB posted somewhere in this subforum concerning this issue, I know because I printed it out but I can't find the file and wasn't able to complete my search yesterday for that exact thread.

    Dealer installed hitch - hack-job on the bumper notch

    +1 on what paris1 mentioned if the dealership doesn't come clean (which I cannot imagine they wouldn't or that you would let go of this if they balked).
