I have complained about this before. The FM antenna in my 2015 is terrible. I think the radio is fine. Mazda forgot how important an antenna is to reception. For them it's all about the look. Did he say what window? I heard the rear.
I have a 2015 Mazda 5 and also have not received a notice. I believe they will get to me in due time. If you are concerned, I think you should contact your dealer and ask for a prompt repair.
Have to agree with you on this one. Awhile back I pulled the choke knob and hoped for a start. Then auto choke, and hoped for a start. Now they start. Hell with heat, I'm ready to roll.
I certainly think the FM antenna is weak. Actually it may be its location that's the problem. Haven't found it yet.
Why have an antenna signal amplifier if you can't provide it with something to amplify?
My opinion is road salt is bad for any vehicle. My 2008 low mileage Ford Ranger is a mess underneath. I hope my 2015 CX will do better. I am in CT and we pour on the various chemicals to keep the roads open. Time will tell.
I listen to college/public stations and experience some dropouts on those lower powered stations. It is my belief that the location of the FM antenna is the problem. Some have said it may be in the rear glass. Never had a problem with a whip on my Mazda5. High power stations OK, AM OK. If you...
Did you read this thread where they talk about mold or whatever?

Doesn't sound good.
I have been asking this on my 2015 CX-5 Sport. Had what I think is a guess that it's in the rear window. My reception for college stations is no where near what I got on my Mazda5 with a whip antenna. Thinking about buying one of those adaptor cables and finding a place to put a whip antenna. If...
My guess. Mazda said to engineering make an antenna that looks good. Engineering said it won't work well. Looks won out. I don't have satellite radio in my 2015 but sure wish I had a whip for FM. Still wonder where the FM antenna is.
2015 Sport owner here. This car needs a real FM antenna. My Mazda5 had a whip and reception was great. The CX-5 is not good with my local NPR/college radio stations.
Plus for me is USB playback for music. Love it. Old guy loving this new technology.
