Here’s a good article by L.G. Brandon about the history of the DRLs in the US: Why aren't day time running lights mandatory on new cars sold in the US ? They are mandatory most other places in the world. My position is if there’s a dedicated LED DRLs (such as my 2016 CX-5) I’ll leave them on...

There’re too many studies on DRLs in the US and both sides are credible. That’s why the US DOT and NHTSA declined to mandate the DRLs as a safety feature and it doesn’t have to be available on the vehicles sold in the US. I simply believe the dedicated DRLs could be more visible, but the...

That’s really strange. If I uncheck the “Daytime Running Lights” selection on my 2018 Toyota Yaris iA, the DRLs will be off, and the selection keeps unchecked forever until I recheck it again and turn the DRLs on. Mazda definitely has this version of MAZDA CONNECT Infotainment system like my...

You’ll receive a Mazda notice from mail if it’s a CSP (Customer Service Program) / SSP (Special Service Program) or a recall.

Ha, I have to agree with you on this! But my a bit inferior 2016 CX-5 with optional Tech Package has the same dedicated LED Signature Strips as DRLs and I like them very much. Unfortunately my LED DRLs were really short-lived, and burned out right before the new car warranty expired. Yes...

Yes I wish Mazda can use the infotainment version they put on the Toyota Yaris iA which is a Mazda2 in disguise to set the DRLs on and off easily: But there’re a couple of other ways to turn the DRLs off on US Mazda CX-5’s but they’re more complicated.

The Customer Service Program (CSP11) issued by Mazda is similar to a TSB but giving an extended limited powertrain warranty to 10 years or 120,000 miles only for coolant leaks around the exhaust manifold. It won’t be the same as a recall as the CSP11 won’t do anything for you if your 2.5T has...

Check out this TSB and you’ll find OEM leather steering wheel part no. information (you need a new lock bolt and may also need new steering wheel hub kit for steering wheel replacement) and the basic instruction of the work. TSB No.: 06-001/23 Leathef Steering Wheel Surface Wear / Peel...

You can find gen-1 CX-5 cargo tray on AliExpress from China. I don’t see any such tray like OEM cargo tray with 2 pocket on the wing area though.

Forget about Mazda Remote Start which features an extra key fob with a BIG telescopic antenna, and MMS which seems to be dead. Go get an aftermarket remote start system such as Fortin EVO-ONE mentioned above, or iDatalink HC2352AC and many others. They all use factory key fob without additional...

Mazda Remote Start and MMS (Mazda Mobile Start) are optional factory accessories installed by the dealer and they’re crappy at best. Forget about Mazda Remote Start which features an extra key fob with a BIG telescopic antenna, and MMS which seems to be dead. Go get an aftermarket remote...

The metal bushing should be off from the stud. BTW there’re many different versions of rear shocks from Mazda for gen-1 CX-5. You could get wrong rear shocks. And I really doubt you can get a correct aftermarket rear shock top mount as Mazda doesn’t sell it separately (comes with the OEM rear...
