I've taken a couple of trips in my 2016 with the Tech Package and have been favorably impressed with the navigation system, even compared with a Garmen Nuvi I have used for many years. I like how it shows the distance to the next 3 interstate exits and tells you what services are available at...

I'm a big fan of Xpel and just had the front of my new 2016 CX-5 covered this week. Due to environmental regulations, most modern auto paint is very soft and easily damaged. You can find Xpel installers in Canada here: http://locator.xpel.com/search/clearbra_installers/Canada I'd skip the...

I also wonder if the front and rear turn signal bulbs can be replaced with LED's without the need to fit loading resistors (to prevent hyper-flashing) The fronts use a 7444 bulb while rears are 7443's, according to the manual.

I'm very impressed with the LED headlights in my 2016 GT with the Tech Package. They have very good reach the color seems whiter than most OEM HID's. Having gone to the expense of engineering state of the art LED headlights, I was a bit surprised that Mazda still uses standard filament bulbs...

I activated emergency 911 notification in one of my 2016 CX-5's menus, but the owner's manual has little information on exactly how it works. I assume it is triggered by airbag deployment, but I suppose it could use other data from the various sensors in the car. If it is triggered, what...

Apple killed the ability to downgrade to 8.1--something about driver signing. I've sent feedback to Apple complaining about this and I guess it will get fixed sooner or later. I copied the audiobook MP3's to a USB stick and they play just fine on the CX-5, even remembering where I left off...

Just upgraded to iOS 8.3 and it still doesn't work. The system recognizes an iPhone on the USB input but says there are no playable files. If anyone else here has an iPhone, I wonder if they can verify they can make a valid USB connection with the iPhone and the CX-5 Bose system. I have the same...

Apple won't allow a iOS downgrade. Someone found a work around, but Apple killed it off. There are lots of reports of similar problems on the Apple user forums, covering many different makes of cars. I guess I'll just have to wait for 8.2.1. I copied the audio books to a USB stick and they play...

Has anyone who was foolish enough to update their iPhone to iOS 8.2 managed to make a proper USB connection with a 2016 CX-5 with the Bose audio system? The system correctly identifies that I have an Apple device plugged into the USB port but claim there are no playable files on the device...

One final tip. The fuse block tap I bought requires a fuse to be inserted in one of the built in fuse holders in order for the tap to pass power to the lead wire. The fuse tap's instructions did not mention that and it was driving me crazy. The tap seemed to seat well in the fuse box, but I was...

Thanks, Seminole. Using my fingers and some cheap trim removal tools I bought on Amazon, I now have the wires down to the fuse box. I did not remove the pillar trim; I just pried it up a bit with a trim removal tool and pushed the wire in. Local auto parts stores are now closed so I'll see if I...

I'd like to hard wire my radar detector into the 2016 GT I just picked up last week. I did read through the earlier thread on hard wiring a detector into an older CX-5, which included a link to a 2012 service manual which had A pillar trim removal instructions. Those instructions called for the...
