    Anyone get their transmission computer updated?

    Like going in to get the ECU/TCU with updates? I hate how ours shifts and it is probably the original software from 2018.

    2018 cx-5. Machine grey. The plastic spoiler at top of hatch is peeling. The plastic piece. Anyone else? Is it easy to remove and sand and repaint?

    Do you want your cx5 to be better?

    Install an AEM dryflow filter. Our 2014.5 and our 2018 felt like entirely different cars after installing them. AEM claims double CFM flow over stock... and the engine seems to love it. No gaon MPG... But the added power and throttle response makes the car feel like a new beast... Best $35 you...

    Question about gas filler port(s)

    Noticed when I opened the gas flap, there is a space for a second gas filler port. What was Mazda planning on using that for? Almost looks like when electric cars have the two different charging ports...

    How do I fix the 2014 Bose sound?

    So I have always hated the front sound for our 2014 GT with Bose. Replaced the front dash speakers and just did the front door speakers, but realized the front door speakers are not full range, since the Bose is only sending Sub frecency to them. Is there a way to make the front doors full range?

    Why does the Sirius XM sound so digitaized/compressed compared to my Nissan NV Van?

    While CD sound and Bluetooth sound pretty good, the Sirius XM is horrible...I just assumed it was all the Sirius XM signal, but my new 2014 Nissan NV Cargo has only 4 speakers (which actually sound pretty good) and the Sirius XM sounds noticeably better than the Mazda, (this is the previous...

    2014.5 CX-5 GT with Bose 9 speakers...different speaker swap out than Touring?

    I think I was riding the forum waves too long, as I started to remove the front door speakers (which are 8" Bose bass speakers) I realized I may be interfering with a system different that the mid level unit. The specs say that the front door speakers run at 1.25 ohm, while the rest run at 4...

    The biggest things missing from 2014.5 CX-5 GT AWD tranny are...

    1. Mazda really needed to have paddle shifters instead of the autostick... 2. Mazda really needed to have a "sport" mode for the transmission... 3. Mazda really needed to have a "hill mode for the transmission (mine likes to try to be in 5th going up a big incline...) I could live without 1...

    Just picked up MS3 tonight!

    Went to the local Walnut Creek, CA dealership to just "look and sit" in it. The wife fell in love (it's her car anyways) and they wanted $2500 over MSRP but said that if we put a deposit down we could have any one we wanted in 3 months...she said..."too bad, I want this kind...Silver, GT, with...

    Picked up my Mazda3 Hatch tonight

    Got the Titanium with Black Leather, with every option except Auto Tranny. Got the Navigation as well...but... Unfortunately my screen doesn't work, but I was able to play with it in a sedan before I left. It is a great Navigation system. The controls are on the right side of the shifter on...

    Does Sub Wires Cut it?

    Do I need to rewire my Stereo to accept a better 150RMS AMP and Box? Or can I just splice in new plugs and go... I don't want to cook any wires or cause any fires, but I am also lazy and look for shortcuts when I can...
