My 2016 was not really a high trim (Touring) , it was one above the base. I thought this feature was available across all trims.

My 2016 and 2019 also does it automatically.

My wife did that too. She had just pulled into work, starting talking to a co-worker and left the car running. Luckily she's only part time so it idled for about 4 hours before it ran out of gas. Bad thing is the accessories stayed on and ran the battery down.

If you have a computer it's easy to download the CD's to a thumb drive. I have 80 of my favorite CD's on one thumb drive with gigabytes of storage still left. It's so easy to just bring up the directory, select a cd and listen or select certain tracks.

Nothing like hijacking the thread.

Just picked up a 2025 CX-5 (didn't want the 2026) and I think the performance is as good or better than my 2016 Touring. It's no turbo but it's pretty impressive. The secret is not to baby it.

If your Mazda5 has a USB port just copy the CD's to a thumb drive and be done with the CD player.

That's why I picked up a 2025 instead of a 2026.

I think they're coming out with a more drastic monitoring for model year 2027. Sounds like it govt mandated and doubt it will be able to be disabled. Welcome to the nanny state.

Ok problem solved. USB to USB-C adapter. $8.00 for three.

Get a California duster. Makes short work of dust and pollen.

I mixed my own water spot remover since our water is filled with limestone. Spray it once the car is washed and dried. Removes all the water spots. Way cheaper than the store bought stuff.

Used to but not anymore. It's just a tool, no more no less. I keep it clean inside and out but don't go overboard. I used to with my RX-7, every time it rained I was out there as soon as it stopped cleaning the car. I also clay bared my CX-5 but for all the work did not notice a big...

From what I read you can't go backwards or forwards. Sounds like we're stuck with the giant fob. And don't drop it. From what I've read on other sites the thing will explode if you drop it and pieces will scatter everywhere. Probably an exaggeration but I'm not going to test it.

Ditto on that. I hate the new fob.

New thumb drive is plan B. Have 80+ CD's on current drive. Adapter would be better. They're pretty cheap so I'll order one.

At first I thought they eliminated it since my existing thumb drive wouldn't fit in the slot. The sales guy said he talked to his manager and they said that was eliminated in the newer models. Then I did a little more research and it turns out that the connector in the 2025 is for USB-C. Mine...

The usb connectors look like power connectors for charging devices.

Looks like a flat screen TV on the dash. Won't be long before you'll see people driving and watching movies.

There was no recall for the EPB, just a TSB during the first couple years. Had to do with the rear rotors locking up. I've had my 2016 for 11 years and never had a problem with the rotors. Agree - I've had zero issues. Passing the 16 to a family member.
