    Got to see the new CX5 today - SHOULD HAVE WAITED...but I will NEVER BUY MAZDA AGAIN.

    We are not talking about future CVT use...TODAY when we buy cars...not TOMORROW...when we MAY buy our next car...if you are mad about future proofing...your best bet is to do short term leases... I would have bought the CRV over the CX-5, but I have EYES and have standards I expect the car...

    Spotify and Pandora: Works fine.

    Why are using such an old iOS version? 6.1.3? I am guessing you are running it under jailbreak...after you jailbreaking iPhones a lot of stuff doesn't seem to work very good...otherwise why no updates? The newer iOs updates include updates to both modem and BT firmware as well...and the newer...

    2014 CX-5 Navigation Installation FYI: GPS Connector Additional Step Required

    To me, the times we need GPS, we plan our trip AHEAD of time, by putting the address in ahead of time, it allows the HD Traffic info to add in as well, allowing us to know if we should change the route...

    iPhone 6 - Music plays automatically after car starts and connection is made

    Whenever I used to have Bluetooth problems after an update, delete the pairing on both the phone and head unit. Then repair and make sure it fully pairs. I believe someday we will get an update that fixes iOS8, I upgraded my phone to WindowS. I will never go back to iPhone. If Apple wont follow...

    Infotainment update

    Best option would be to hope someone comes out with an Apple Carplay setup that is a plug and play and still retains setup stuff, but Mazdas sales numbers make me think no. If it was a Honda or Toyota, maybe, but I am just hoping for a update to dump the nav lock, which wont happen, and maybe...

    Infotainment update

    No way there is a way to get what the Mazda3 has, but they could always update the software and/or firmware. TomTom has done several software updates in the past, just nothing for about a year now. Only map updates every 4 months or so...

    Why does the Sirius XM sound so digitaized/compressed compared to my Nissan NV Van?

    While CD sound and Bluetooth sound pretty good, the Sirius XM is horrible...I just assumed it was all the Sirius XM signal, but my new 2014 Nissan NV Cargo has only 4 speakers (which actually sound pretty good) and the Sirius XM sounds noticeably better than the Mazda, (this is the previous...

    Best door speakers to get without upgrading stock bluetooth unit or adding an amp?

    Replaced the front dash speakers (right and left, not center) with the DB351s...my Bose system dash speakers were surprising light, but the new speakers are brighter sounding, if a bit heavy on the treble...after looking at the spec sheet of the Bose amp, it sends 18w to each of the 3 dash...

    Who else is waiting impatiently for the 2016 CX-5?

    Well, you will be able to get a really good deal on the 2015s, once the word is out about the differences...depends on how much you want to save...assume there will be very little discounts on the 2016s...I was able to get mine for about $3000 off including some rebates, so my 2014.5 MSRP of...

    Brand new to Mazda. Can someone answer some basic questions?

    There are known problems with the seat heaters, the dealer might be able to do a repair on them; it's a repair on the driver's seat and seat cushion replacement on the passenger's seat. Also make sure you have the latest 10.854 update on the TomTom software, there are SOME improvements on Voice...

    2014.5 CX-5 GT with Bose 9 speakers...different speaker swap out than Touring?

    I think I was riding the forum waves too long, as I started to remove the front door speakers (which are 8" Bose bass speakers) I realized I may be interfering with a system different that the mid level unit. The specs say that the front door speakers run at 1.25 ohm, while the rest run at 4...

    Best door speakers to get without upgrading stock bluetooth unit or adding an amp?

    Okay here's an update: Bad news for people with the Bose speakers in a 2014.5...the front door speakers are mounted in a METAL bracket, nothing appears to be easily cut to modify for 6.5s...I am going to order those adapters that are linked in this forum, they seem like the perfect solution. Buy...

    Best door speakers to get without upgrading stock bluetooth unit or adding an amp?

    So, one more question before I open up the front door panels tomorrow morning: The Mazda specs for the Bose speakers show that the front doors are 8" running 1.25ohm...I'm assuming putting the 6.5"s instead of 8"s and running 4 ohms will sound cleaner, but with less bass... It seems like the...
