    Disable continuous armrest charger port

    News to me, I thought the USB (you do mean that right?) port shut off with the car, even the '14 models. There was some complaints here on that very issue, maybe I'm mistaken. I'm sure my massively popular, not designed in WA and is still in production portable music device does in fact not...

    Speaker replacement for 6 speaker touring?

    I put Infinity REF-6502ix in the front and 6032si in the rear door. The dash speakers are tweets and difficult to install, you can put those db351's in there and run them in parallel with the front door speakers, since that's how they are wired from the factory. Consider a component system for...

    CX-5 Bike Hauler?

    Mpg display issues

    Ahhh I thought you were only watching the current status. I did have the average meter act funny after gassing up in Needles and when driving up in elevation, my avg mpg had been in the thirties, but now dropped to the low twenties. It bothered me but it evened out after I reached my destination...

    Mpg display issues

    What you're seeing is normal. When the display shows the current mpg, that number will be all over the place depending on driving conditions. For instance, if you are coasting down a hill at 70 mph and have your foot relaxed from the accelerator, the display should read upwards of 99.9 mpg...

    Advice on buying CX5 in New Jersey with California registration

    Like the border agent at Buckman Springs said to me as I were re-entering California 15 years ago from Georgia, welcome but I'd turn around and go back to where you came from!

    You guys are anal lol Elbow grease and one of those Carrand brushes (I use my pinky to scour out the grime from the barrels) along with some Bleche Wite tire cleaner. I have waxed them with Klasse AIO, and it works for a couple of wash cycles but it's a helluva lota work for something that...
