The MID has better integration with CarPlay.

wlong01, watch this. It should answer most of your questions.

I keep a spreadsheet for every vehicle I own. All services/repairs that were done to it, what, when, where and miles on odometer. Buyers love that. Easy for me to check what needs to be done next.

One size up might be fine. Yes, check tirerack.com. They have utilities you can use to explore your options. I upsized the tires on my '98 BMW 540iA. I even went staggered. The latter is a big mistake, looking back. Going staggered is costly.... going wider is a choice you can make. My advice...

I doubt there is any difference in AT between NA and T models. Please take a few photos or video to share with us. Good luck. Have fun.

hoodlum was spot-on. 2025 CX-5 has come out w/ minimum changes. Big change will come for 2026. Biggest news is the Mazda-proprietary hybrid (not Toyota's as in CX-50).

OP, Your CPO warranty might require you to have some services done to keep it valid.

Maybe they work for Mazda (no idea). What I meant was the accessories are not installed in the factories the vehicles are produced. Imagine this. A guy who installs roof racks over and over again. He can do this 10X more efficiently than any of us.

BCM (body control module) is my next suspect after battery.

Check battery first before reading codes.

I have a '17 and a '22 (turbo). Honestly, I cannot tell a difference in tranquility while they are on the same commute routes. Maybe there had been improvements over the recent models, but I cannot tell. My '17 CX5 is significantly quieter than my '16 Mazda6. Anyone in my family can tell that...

Personal opinion: If you plan to keep it for a while.. 1. ATF drain-n-refill 2. Brake fluid change

I usually get on tirerack.com to do research before buying. Read the owner's reviews (ignore one with few total miles... could be fake). Been doing that for decades, even if I don't buy from tirerack.com every time.

Great writeup. He left out the belt tensioner of some model years. My '16 and '17 had this issue.

Make them ugly so that no one will steal them. ;)

I am not surprised, wlong01. Statistics at work. One of my co-workers had transmission failure w/ his Camry.

I refuse to go to Oakland. Sad to say that. SF is getting there... last time I went there, a homeless guy tried to hit me for no reason. I could easily defend myself but I would be in jail and he would be free zooming on the streets. No reason fighting a homeless guy. Back to the topic. If...

Did you have the front parking sensors installed or the rear? For front, if you don't have the signature model, I doubt you will see the indication lines and all the graphics. (I don't have a Signature. So I could be wrong on this.) This guy shows the Signature model...

To OP, If you want a reliable vehicle, chances are a Toyota would be more reliable than a Mazda. I am not biased. I own 4 Mazdas now. Reliability of Mazda is not bad. For all my four, I got, on average, 1 problem per 7 yrs per vehicle. Small issue (several hundreds of dollars to fix, not...

I still think your battery is bad. "put it on a charger, it shows full charge".... you probably saw the voltage from the charger. Disconnect the battery and use the multimeter ($10 from Walmart) to measure the voltage. It should read 12.6v (no less than 12.3v). (2.1v * 6 = 12.6 v) There are 6...
