    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    I got her a cheap cover to keep the bird and squirrel poop, tree sap and leaves off her. I have not found an OEM cover for the 2017, not even sure Mazda makes one yet.

    2017 DRL/signal light emulation

    I see the turn signal just fine the way they are. Maybe in future software updates Mazda will modify DRL menu options to not include the dimmed headlight projectors as part of the DRLs, but I don't see that as a priority, or a real problem. Mazda should instead be busy updating the infotainment...

    Help Me Decide: CX-5 vs. CR-V

    I am 57 yrs old and have driven/owned Hondas / Acuras since I was 24. This year was my first entry into a Mazda. I too was comparing between the CX-5 and the CR-V. In my case it was GT and Touring, respectively. After test driving them both, the choice was clear. I hated the CVT transmission in...

    OEM Car Cover for 2017 CX-5

    Has anyone looked for, or found, a source for an OEM Mazda car cover for the 2017 CX-5? Maybe it's too early in the model year? I'm not sure the 2016.5 model year cover will fit, since exterior dimensions and outside side mirror placement have changed.

    2017 CX-5 Cargo Cover is Different

    I bought my cargo cover from Quirkparts.com (part number KB7W-V1-350). It was the cheapest deal I could find, $178.72, shipping was free with coupon code MOM17 for Mother's Day.

    2017 CX-5 drl question

    I did a few tests with different headlight switch positions during daylight this morning, while facing a glass storefront (so I could see the results). While the headlight switch was in Auto mode (with the shifter in DRIVE), both the headlights and the LED signature lights were on. When I...

    2017 CX-5 drl question

    My headlights work the same as yours, always ON. I think the headlights are also the DRLs for 17. My headlights are on all the time, day or night, rain or shine. I also think it's weird, but I've seen written in the manual the phrase headlights/daytime running lights with a slash, as if they...

    2017 CX-5 Towing Options

    @Studum You're a braver soul than me. I could not see myself having the nerve to “unfastening the bottom of the rear bumper.” Did you have to lower the exhaust (or remove/replace the muffler) at all for the installation?

    2017 CX-5 Towing Options

    Yeah, I don't want to spend that kind of money either. I too will wait for the Mazda OEM harness' availability, and I certainly would not want to jeopardize the car's electrical system. I'm sure Mazda dealers have to warn you with the warranty thing, just to cover their rear. It would be very...

    2017 CX-5 Towing Options

    One company has a solution for those afraid of creating an electrical problem in the car, or voiding the warranty, because it gets its power directly from the battery, and you don't have to cut/splice any cables. However, it's expensive. It costs as much as the hitch itself. It's the Tekonsha...

    2017 CX-5 Towing Options

    Sounds good, thanks for the advice! I went to etrailer but found no Mazda OEM wiring harnesses. Only two third party Curt and Tekonsha products. I'm going to pay the Mazda dealership a visit. Their comptroller is an old friend of mine from high school. Do you by any chance have the printed...

    2017 CX-5 Towing Options

    I recently bought, and will soon install, a Curt class II hitch for my 2017 CX-5, model 12170. What are the trailer wiring options? I know Mazda sells an OEM trailer harness for my CX-5, but I don't know how it connects to the vehicle (is there an existing connector somewhere?). I have seen zero...
