https://www.mazdainfotainmentsettlement.com/ My mother in law got a settlement notice in the mail a few days ago. It’s for her 2018 CX-5 that she no longer owns. Wanted to share here for awareness, see details pulled from the official source linked above. I replaced her screen last year due to...

Anybody replaced the grille on their second gen CX-5 and have some tips on replacement process? My car took a rock to the face last week and I’m fortunate it didn’t hit the emblem, paint, or bust straight through to the condenser. The gloss black part for my Turbo goes for north of $500 on some...

I 3D printed a Mazda hitch cover for my new 2” etrailer receiver. It looks good! I chose black PETG for durability and muted look. I could’ve printed with supports to prevent some of the stringiness within the logo (I printed it face down so it was basically printing the base of the logo in thin...

Hey all, I installed an eTrailer branded hitch on my 23 Turbo. Installation took two hours solo. It’s a PITA maneuvering the hitch into place but a simple install if that makes sense. The hardest things to do were sliding the muffler off its rubber mounting points, and pulling the carriage...

Hey all, I’m spending some time in Scotland for vacation and we’re having an incredible time. I usually don’t get great luck with car rentals but this time I got an interesting vehicle and wanted to share. I reserved an automatic compact sedan as I usually do. Just enough for a family of 4 and...

Hello all, I noticed my mother-in-law’s ‘18 CX-5 Grand Touring has the headlights on all of the time when “Auto” is selected (night or day). Just shy of 70k miles on it, and the windshield was replaced by Safelite a little over a year ago. No idea when the issue started, my mother in law just...

A Suburban made a left in front of me this morning and that’s all she wrote. I was driving about 30 mph in the right lane, and a car in the middle lane made a gap. The other vehicle in an oncoming lane of traffic tried to make a left into a gas station. They pulled in front of me as I was...

I had a couple of bad clear coat scratches on my car. Somebody else put them there of course. So! I figured it was time to try my hand at getting them out. I watched a couple of YouTube videos and liked the idea of polishing with 3000 then 5000 grit 3M stuff first, and then buffing the haze away...

Good morning all, Mother in law drove up to visit today and got a CEL when exiting the highway. No drivability issues, just a CEL. I brought it to Advanced Auto and got the code checked. One permanent code: P2096. Post Catalyst Fuel Trim System Too Lean Bank 1. Bank 1 doesn*t actually mean...

https://www.diodedynamics.com/ They are pricey, but Im considering swapping my OEM 2013 low beams with LED lights. The no name Chinese ones seem to be extremely hit or miss. A buddy of mine suggested Diode Dynamics. Has anybody tried these out or have a reliable LED headlight they could...

Didnt see this trick shared elsewhere for the CX5 so I figured it warranted its own thread. Ive seen a lot of worry and frustration over replacing the water pump stretch belt. I ordered the Gates belt installation tool thinking it might help but it just doesnt. The tool is too wide to fit on...

Hey all, Wanted to share my spark plug change experience. 2013 CX-5 Sport has 58k miles, 6 years old now. Only owner. Noticed after switching between my CX-5 and my Odyssey that my CX5 vibrates a bit when idling. Nothing concerning, Id describe it as an annoyingly perceptible vibration that my...

Evening all, Did my first ever brake fluid drain and fill (like, ever in my life). Thank you to whoever posted the detailed pictures and description of the process. It was a breeze requiring only a 10mm wrench, fluid collector and a bottle of brake fluid. I found this guy on Amazon: Allstar...
