    Clicking sound from front end when driving over small bumps?

    I had a similar problem about a month after buying my cx5. The dealer took a look and it turns out it's a set of bolts that hold down the strut tower brace. Tell your dealer that Mazda issued a bulletin about it.

    CX-5 Touchscreen Manufacturer?

    I seriously doubt it. The nav unit is an in-dash plugin. Literally a 15 minute install. System works completely without it.

    CX-5 Touchscreen Manufacturer?

    Hi all! I was wondering: Does anyone know which company manufactures the OEM Mazda CX5 touchscreen? It uses an old pressure-based touchscreen by default; I was looking into the possibility to switch it out with a more responsive capacitive one. The Googles don't provide anything relevant...

    Tech Package vs No Tech Package

    1. My CX5 didn't come with navigation, but I picked it up from the dealer for $500 plus tax. It's tomtom nav, and it's fairly responsive. The voice recognition is s****, though. Be forewarned. .. 3. I went with the Karr alarm system, and am happy so far. It comes stock with an annoying horn...

    2013~2016 CX-5 Accessories

    Picked up new CX-5 last night

    Someone told me that production was hampered by the Tsunami's in Japan last year, though that might be dealerspeak for "we don't know, so we're feeding you something that sounds plausible so we look like we know what we're talking about." Cromulence aside, not many dealers in the US seem to...

    Picked up new CX-5 last night

    Congrats! I did the same yesterday, and I'm happy so far. I came from a 2002 Subaru WRX sedan, so was somewhat picky in terms of handling. Definitely not a performance beast, but it's really responsive, steering is tight, very little body roll through turns, and just a downright well constructed...

    SD slot in the CX-5?

    From what I've heard from the dealer, it's part of the GPS navigation system. I believe it contains the base firmware for navigation (which I also think gets updated regularly with new maps and information from TomTom, ostensibly wirelessly). I just got my CX5 yesterday, and am waiting on a...
