    Octane Rating

    2 points to think about here. 1. My MPG kept increasing up to about 3,000 miles which I'm attributing to break in so it may be early to test fuels. 2. The percent of increase in mpg has to be more than the percent increase in higher octane fuel cost over 87 for it to be beneficial from purely...

    "Play artist" shortcuts

    How are you all creating playlists on USB? I haven't been able to get that to work.

    Advance Locking System

    You can unlock it with the other set of keys. The problem is when they get locked in away from the other set.

    Advance Locking System

    Yep, you can definitely lock the keys inside. I checked for my wife. You can't on my Nissan with the comfort access but you definitely can with the CX-5.

    ipod issues

    I have a CX-5 with the same audio unit I believe. I think the way I got mine to work was to wait to plug the ipod in until the car had started and the audio screen powered up. Haven't used it in a while though so I may be mis-remembering.

    Resuming Playback with 2014 CX-5 GT Tech Stereo and other issues

    I agree, it's super annoying. Here are two things that I do that help but it's ridiculous that we have to do this. 1. Get a silent 5 minute mp3 here http://www.xamuel.com/blank-mp3-files/5min.mp3 and rename it in iTunes something like 001 Silent for both the title and artist. 001 is important...

    Are you getting the 430 miles range claimed by Mazda after filling up?

    It's actually the other way around. They tried to keep the range the same between them so the AWD has a bigger tank.

    Are you getting the 430 miles range claimed by Mazda after filling up?

    On my 2014 FWD I usually get 390 miles or so before two bars of fuel left on the gauge. Two days ago I drove 10 miles past 0 miles remaining on Empty and could only get 11.8 gallons into the tank at fill up and it's a 14.8 gal tank so the reserve is pretty hefty for when the Empty light goes off.

    Anyone coming from a CR-V? How do you think road noise and ride compare?

    Motortrend just measured the 2014 2.5 at 8.1 sec 0-60. http://m.motortrend.com/roadtests/suvs/1304_2014_mazda_cx_5_grand_touring_first_test/

    Octane Rating

    For me it's an economical issue since mine runs great on 87. In my area there is a .40 cent spread between regular and premium. So taking those numbers above: Regular = $3.55 30.5 mpg = 11.64 cents a mile Premium = $3.95 32.0 mpg = 12.34 cents a mile That .7 cents a mile higher would cost...

    Resuming Playback with 2014 CX-5 GT Tech Stereo and other issues

    I emailed about the same issue 3 weeks ago and got a call back yesterday from Mazda USA rep named Jean. I explained the issue but she didn't seem to know any info as to whether it's being researched or if corporate is really aware of the problem. I asked her to elevate the issue up the ladder...

    Anyone figure out how to create USB playlists?

    Yeah, I've experienced the annoying resume issue. Is that the Mac program I'm seeing on EricDaugherty.com? Looks like the same program name. Is this different from exporting a playlist from iTunes in the m3u format? Thanks

    Anyone figure out how to create USB playlists?

    Searched the forum but haven't found this. I've tried the normal .m3u playlist format but the headunit won't recognize them. Any other methods? I have a 2014 Touring with Tech Package audio.

    2013 Mazda CX-5 GX AWD stereo, possible issue?

    Try turning the iPod volume itself down a little. I've had problems in other cars when the player is turned up too high like above 80%.

    Loose carpet driver and passenger seats

    Is it normal that the carpet isn't glued to the floor of the car? When I remove the floor mats I have to hold the carpet underneath down or I feel like I'll detach it completely. I can pull up the carpet 6-8 inches off the floor and have never noticed that on my other cars.

    MP3 Shuffling......weird

    I noticed the shuffle isn't random today too. If you shuffle from the first song it "randomly" plays in the same order each and every time. I got around it by starting the shuffle on a different song. The lack of resume from a USB is hugely annoying because you can't listen to the same album...
