    Cheaper and more reliable than manual mechanical units? Why do you say that?

    The Retrofit Source: Morimoto XB LED Fog Light Housings for Mazda.

    Morimoto released their XB LED fog light housings into the market for plug and play housing swaps covering MANY manufacturers. One literally unbolts their fog light housings and bolt on Morimoto's XB LED fog light housings. The reviews are positive from "experts of lighting" and I definitely...

    Exactly. I'll be posting these in other Mazda sections as well to get more hits for the request.

    Just took home a 2016 CX-5 AWD GT - found a scuff on the headlight

    I'm sure the LED headlights are obscenely expensive, even compared to the old Tech Pack's AFS Bi-Xenons. Hope all works out. Very unfortunate. Perhaps they scuffed it up trying to clear ice and snow?

    2015 Mazda CX-5 Torque Converter Recall??

    I find it very surprising that Mazda cannot track defective parts based on vin# alone. All components of the vehicle system has their dedicated part # that correlates to its specific production/vendor batch (at the very least). This is standard QA function for any large company.

    None the less, it's not safe to make assumptions for possible misinformation.

    Push button start question

    ACC (accessories) mode is the mode where only the radio works... If you are in the "ON" position and want to ACC only, then shift into neutral and press the button. That leaves it in ACC mode, then you can shift it into park if you so desire. edit: whoops someone beat me to it.

    electric parking brake

    I am an engineer by profession as well. Unfortunately for cars of this type, its hard to find FSM or any in depth technical documents. We are lucky enough to have some TSB's and FSM's for the Series 1 CX-5's when I a bit of a hook up from someone working with Mazda. I hope to see the 2016's...

    electric parking brake

    There are cases where the EPB failed to disengage in early model Audi's and VW's. Some for Hyundai Genesis' as well. The cases are very rare though. I think manufacturers recognize that a large portion of consumers rarely use their parking brake (which is a disappointment), and much rather free...

    2016 CX5, Cherokee or???

    The below average reliability of the Cherokee, horrendous styling, and non-stop recalls on the 9 speed transmission? No thank you. I want to like it, but can't. The only Jeep product I would (gladly) purchase is the Grand Cherokee and Wrangler.

    electric parking brake

    The only reason why companies are swaying toward electronic parking brake is to free up center console space. There was simply no way to retain the manual e/p-brake, dual cupholders, lever shifter, while adding the MazdaConnect controls and a more ergonomic armrest. Same applies for other...

    The 2016 actually have new bushings and "other suspension components": "A smooth, flat ride realized by adopting a new structure for the front and rear dampers and optimizing the bushing shapes for the front lower arms." So, it's not safe to say (at the moment) that suspension parts for...

    Windshield Wipers

    I use the long umbrella bags to cover my windshield wipers when it snows. Keeps moisture and snow away from the "suspension" and rubber of the windshield wipers- therefore, no icing and retains flexibility. My girlfriend recently bought a few "Frost Guards". Relatively cheap and does its job...

    Free Oil Change

    As said in other threads, avoid automatic car washes and washes at the dealers AT ALL COST. That applies for entry luxury dealers (BMW, Benz, Audi, Etc) as well. There is no doubt that damages will be induced. There is simply no care for the cleanliness or safety of your vehicle. I have...

    2016 CX5 GT Meteor Gray, the good kind of accident.

    Looks great. Glad to see more with 2016's flowing into the forum. Care to share some pics of the interior and rear lights (lit)? Also, is that a 2.5RS?
