Come on, the title was a reference to getting old for maintaining a car. Other maintenance, aging, times changing seem on topic. In the title post the OP said "Anyone else facing the same age related issues?" That's more general than oil changes. Apologies if you were being facetious, and it...

If you maintain a car, I'd expect you to have more than one of these...

Impressive. If you forget to put the drain plug back in, put the oil filter on, or add the oil - then you know you are done. I just did mine the other day and forgot to move the catch pan out of the way of the passenger front tire before I backed out of the driveway. Spilled about a quart...

Thankyou. I also just found on my phone settings a toggle for "Taskbar Widgets" that was deselected and I've selected hoping it would fix it. Maybe if not the fix, it may be a prerequisite for what you are showing.

That looks a lot better on your wider 2023 screen, than on my 2018. For me, in that view, the map is square and too small a field of view. My full screen is about the size of your map portion. Lots of necessary space is wasted on the music app.

I haven't seen how to access it, or any screenshots of such. I'll search some more, but please give more detail if you know.

I just got it today. So far I hate it. I like the map to be full screen, but still able to pause my audiobook on audible. Now I have to eather lose 30% of my map, or not be able to pause/resume. If my 2018 had a pause function on the steering wheel, or even command knob interface, then I'd...

Yeah, I found it very rude that there is no mention of fee in the email, or app they want you to install. Fortunately I'm so unimpressed with the Nav compared to Android Auto, that its a very easy decision to forego spending any money whatsoever, let alone what they want to charge.

I just flushed it through.

Funny, I started researching cars for my wife's next one back something like 2016. That's how I found the CX-5, of which she was not enamored. I ended up getting the 2018 for myself, and had to nurse my old car along for her because she couldn't settle on anything. For a long time, she was...

I haven't shopped for since a couple years ago, but just want to give an endorsement to the geomet coated blanks. They have held up great and look way better than the stock rotors. I got my rotors and Powerstop Z23 (I think) from Rock Auto who had the best price.

3 years ago I ordered a 3rd key fob for my 2018 from OEM Car Key Mall for $53.10. I had it programmed at a local locksmith, I think that was $80.

4 wheels vs 2.

Only if towing.

I think the desired speaking is after its all automatically connected as you described.

I had a warning light one time for oil on my 2018. And it was after I'd gone to the dealer for something completely unrelated, like Android Auto install, or recall or something. And they informed me afterwards that I had too much oil, and they had removed some. That pissed me off. I didn't...

I think its a lot more sophisticated than that statement suggests. From my recollection, it uses a lot of sensing input and calculation to infer conditions and can apply braking to each wheel independently in addition to adjusting the relative front/rear power distribution. And they do talk...

I could probably dig up some Dave Coleman tech talk videos for the 2nd gen CX-5, which is the basis for the 2023. But it wouldn't cover the recent refinements and off-road mode and such, if that's what you are after.

Interesting. I've had ramps, but never found a good use for them. I think I got rid of them, not worth fishing out. But I do have a scrap piece of 2x10, and I'm due for an oil change in the next few weeks. Perhaps I'll just drive up on one thickness on the passenger front tire and see if...

2nd Gen CX-5 has under cladding. You can't see the Fumoto valve or drain plug until you remove a panel.
