    found an answer "The Mazda CX-5 was introduced in the 2013 model year. Beginning with 2014 models built after October 2013, the front and side airbag programming and the front structure were modified to improve occupant protection in small overlap frontal crashes (note: information about when a...

    CX-5 Takes Top Safety Pick...But only ones built after Oct 2013?

    "Good news everyone..." (in professor Farnsworth's voice). So CX5 took to top honors, very nice. Any ideas how come only ones built after October 2013? I've got a Touring Tech from the first batch to hit US, and am very curious. Thanks! And congrats to us all...

    New 2014 GT Nav Not Working

    Update: Fixed it. Even though i did the updates just about a week ago, i plugged the card in, and tomtom home started to download GPS App software for headunit v. 10.8.yadayada. Once finished, plugged card in, turned car on, GPS started updating. 10 minutes later, restarted car - and it works...

    $26 Dash Cam

    I call it the "gateway cam" :D i had it and it broke 3 months later :(... but i was so used to driving with one, i had to spring for a more expensive one :D Stay away from the chinese ones with novatek chips. I think best for money now is $100 cowon ac1 from amazon. but i do give you the fact...

    Guide CX-5 Factory Remote Starter - Install and Program

    Great job! I just did mine and its pretty much same as yours (i couldn't wait for your upload and took my chances) :D I've ended up placing RS ECU right where you put it, which i had doubts about, but after seeing that you did it the same way, i'm sure that its Mazda's illustrations that are...

    Best aftermarket Remote Start for CX-5

    I betcha once they get more than 1, they'll drop the price again. You can also email them with the screen shot i posted and ask to lower the price to earlier level. Amazon is known to dynamically adjust prices to react to demand. Good luck. Check this out...

    Best aftermarket Remote Start for CX-5

    Interesting...whats the model for the '14???? from what i've read its the same part.... also, amazon seems to have raised their price in the last hour since its the same exact part from same seller..only now they've got 1 left. The other part is cheaper because its not from amazon, but rather a...

    Dealer put 5w20 syn-blend oil during oil change...

    Actually, seems like 0w-20 can only be synthetic. I don't think they can get it this liquid with any crude based product.

    Best aftermarket Remote Start for CX-5

    after some poking around, you can get OEM start with install kit for under $400 bucks. Install seems super easy if you have a hood switch. More complicated if you don't. I think i'll go that route. Now i just got to figure out if i have a hood switch on my '14 Touring with Tech. Anyone hear...

    Best aftermarket Remote Start for CX-5

    Thanks guys. JoeCX5, i actually bumped the thread because i bought that very special :D Here is what its looking like: Got it picked up, went to install bay to schedule and talk to the installers.

    Dealer put 5w20 syn-blend oil during oil change...

    Thanks folks. All good advise. I would do just that, only in the back of my mind, it would always appear as if they've wasted my time, and kept the old oil they put in the first time around... I have trust issues i guess. Just sort of pissed that they would do crap like that despite being the...
