For the U.S. the number is 1-800-430-0153. It's in your owner's manual and also in post #7 of this thread. I called, explained the issue & said I heard there was a fix. The gave me a reference number which I gave to my local dealer when I made the appointment. Only one trip to the dealer...

I called the Mazda Handsfree number & explained the problem (which they acknowledged). They checked my VIN and gave me a reference number for the module replacement. Then I called the dealer to set the appointment. They seemed a little reluctant to agree to order the part, but I gave them the...

I have about 19K songs, all acquired legally. About 15K are from the 1200+ CDs I've purchased over the past 30 years. The rest are from a service I subscribed to many years ago that allowed unlimited downloads. According to Winamp it would take about 54 days and 4 hours to listen to them all...

Happy to hear a 64 GB drive works. I suspect something is just plain screwed up with my PNY 64 GB drive. It works fine on my desktop machine, but I've been able to completely lock up my laptop multiple times just trying to write to it. Multiple reformat attempts using different formatting...

Thanks. I'll give that one a try. Reading through reviews for USB flash drives there seems to be a lot of compatibility issues, particularly with car stereos. I doubt USB 3.0 makes it any faster on the CX-5 (since the port is USB 2.0), but I'd prefer USB 3.0 to speed up copying files on my...

Could you tell me the specific drive you are using including the size? I've tried reformatting my PNY 64 GB USB 3.0 to FAT32 once again, but no luck even with just 283 songs. I thought I'd read about other people having success with 64 GB drives, but that may have been on the 2013 model.

Thanks to CJnum6 (post #108 above) for listing the limitations of the fix. Even with the limitations I'm also pleased with it (had it done last week). To Senor Valasco: No, you do not need a playlist for it to resume. Does anyone know what limitations (if any) there are on the USB flash...

I had to replace mine after about 18 months, as did a friend of mine. Both of us have the 2014 GT with the Tech package. I just figured it was due to the smart key stuff. I drove my last car for 10 years with the original batteries still in the fobs.

My iPhone 6 seems to work fine over bluetooth with my 2014 CX-5. It seemed like it took slightly longer to pair, but streaming music via bluetooth seems to work no differently than it did with my iPhone 5 running ios 7.x. It downloaded the phone book the first time only, resumes playing where...

Yes, TreyP tested and said that power is retained for about 10 seconds; see post #154. BTW, I've mentioned this previously but if I simply listen to some other audio source for a few minutes after starting the car, when I switch to my 32 GB USB drive with about 4K songs it only takes 10-15...

Since the Sirius XM firmware can be updated (p. 5-45 of the US owner's manual) and the Gracenote DB can be updated (p. 5-101 of the US owner's manual), I have to believe the firmware can be be updated; probably via the USB port. Seems like that would be a necessity to support apps like...

I was looking at the Edmunds long-term test updates on the 2014 CX-5 and found an update dated 6/18/2013 where they mentioned this problem. FWIW, the dealer they took it to said Mazda is aware of the issue and are working on an update that will ship "soon". I'm still keeping my fingers...

I have just over 4000 songs on a 32GB drive, with folders by artist and then folders for each album within that. It does take a while to load, but so did the 8GB drive I tested it with. I usually just listen to another audio source for a few minutes after first starting the car. Then when I...

I just tested using Winamp, and that seemed to work. Both M3U and M3U8 extensions played fine. I plugged the USB drive into my computer, started Winamp, dragged the files I wanted to play into the Winamp playlist window, then hit File -> Save Playlist, specified the file type (M3U or M3U8) and...

J-B= James Brown The Godfather = James Brown E-L-O= Electric Light Orchestra B-A-D= Big Audio Dynamite Neil=Neil Young Social D=Social Distortion REM (rhymes with stem) = R.E.M. I'm going to have to put some Elvis on my USB drive just to see if "The King" works!

Discovered these on the drive home from work today: The Stones = The Rolling Stones The Boss = Bruce Springsteen Rod the Mod = Rod Stewart

Yes, I'm an idiot. I meant $1400 under MSRP and corrected my post above.

I purchased a 2014 CX-5 GT AWD w/ Tech for $1400 under MSRP (before TTL and fees) about 5 weeks ago. This was at a dealer in the Dayton OH area.

I have a 2014 GT AWD w/ Tech. I discovered that if I turn the car off while playing via USB and then hit the Start engine button to turn on accessory mode, that the last song playing picks up where it left off. I'm guessing the USB port remains powered for a few seconds when turning the engine...

While I was testing the silent MP3 trick on the USB flash in my 2014 CX-5 GT (got tired of hearing "1000 Points of Hate" by Anthrax every time, lol) I also decided to see how well the voice recognition worked to play an artist. I accidentally found out I could say "Play artist the Nuge" and it...
