    Walk-Away Locking.. faulty or normal?

    The walk away feature has NEVER failed me or my wife, EVER. The trick is to keep the batteries in the remote well juiced.

    Strange behavior after battery died and EPB was on: 2016 CX5

    Witnessed a frustrating incident recently. Irked me to no end. BTW: I do love my CX-5 but found the below experience: Unacceptable. Left car in NJ Transit parking lot (as usual) with EPB = ON and left for work (as usual). Return to find out battery died. Why? No idea - could be I left something...

    Question - anyone knows the % for the factory tints @ rear? Are they same for the 2 door and the rear glass or different?

    Mazda friends, need '17 CX-5 ammo to help to sway the wifey who wants Lexus NX200

    OP : Have you tried to "back off" perhaps? In other words, sometimes when the loved ones strongly suggest something or try to sway an opposite happens. Both are very good cars. In terms of 2nd. hand valuation (in case you're looking into it) Lexus perhaps will give a better bang for the buck...

    Mud and Snow inside portion of rear doors...Help

    I'll try to post some photos but this is something bothering me for sometime. If needs to be addressed, have to do it before my warranty runs over. Recently, drove thru a pile of slush, snow, mud, etc. When I open my front doors - either side there's this clear edge. All the mud/slush marks...

    Ceramic car coating

    While this is technically true but reality is very different. My earlier car had dealer applied $900 ceramic coating. It was even warranty for 5 years. However, the catch is - absolutely no automatic car washes. The other type of washes are : costly by thrice the amount. Anyways, I decided to...

    2017~2025 Tire Pressure Sensor for 2017 CX-5 - $91.74 EACH!

    Here's why - I was surprised to find today, in dealership a walk in with a complaint: "I have a new light showing up in dashboard" "Ok" ..... "Your tire pressure is low, Sir" .......... "That'll be $20. Have a nice day. We had to reset the pressure for you. Also, you might want to avail the...

    2017~2025 Tire Pressure Sensor for 2017 CX-5 - $91.74 EACH!

    I agree with YRW here. Due to following reasons: From 2017 onwards, Mazda could have easily done a better job as they introduced dedicated sensors per tire but I guess lazy to implement it. I am pretty sure if a good OBD scanner is introduced into the system it'll show these sensors are...

I am part of a team who's trying to utilize certain aspects of AI/Machine Learning in combination with CA company - Blackberry for passenger vehicles, specifically QNX. Leaving...

    Horrible vandalism - saved by sheer luck and common sense

    No, actually. Metropark parking lot, NJ, Iselin/Woodbridge/Edison. Amazing. 1000 cars park there. I know the cop, he's from my town. Caught him yesterday directing traffic due to snow ladden fallen tree. They have not caught the miscreant yet. A total of 7 cars - all between 2018 - 2016...

    Bosch ST3300 Oil Filter - Fits 2016 but won't work for 2017??

    Please double check - as far as I heard these and many more are no more being made by Bosch. Rather they have been outsourced to Champion Labs. Bosch only provides the name and charges royalty for it. There was some article I read where it was stated Bosch moving forward will mostly supply their...

    Horrible vandalism - saved by sheer luck and common sense

    6:30 AM - park @ NJ Railways train station parking lot as I decided to take public transport today. 7:30 PM - return - to see huge # of policemen, fire fighters, etc. Apparently - few miscreants decided to find new cars in the lot (registration sticker in windshield dead giveaway). Then they...
