    Heated Seat Question

    No, just 2 heaters, the third thing (rounded outline) is a temperature-sensing thermistor. I'm not sure where that's located, but it may be on the bottom cushion/element, in which case it would be dangerous to disconnect that bottom element! All in all, this is a very bad idea. It could...

    Heated Seat Question

    From my wiring diagrams, it looks like the 2 panels are hard-wired in parallel. No separate connectors. Sorry.

    Apple CarPlay dongle question

    He has a 2020 MY car. He already has the wired hub built in. He just needs the wireless dongle (as I said in the post above yours).

    Apple CarPlay dongle question

    Yes. I added dongles I got off Amazon for both my wife and my daughter's 2019's. They are cheap, often less than $20, and small and just plug into the USB port under the armrest. Examples: Amazon.com : CarPlay & Android Auto Adapter

    2017~2025 CX-5 Original Front Brakes, Outside Pads No Wear, Inside Finished?

    Interesting... there's a TSB out for the CX-50's for this same type of issue (though the cause may be different)... https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2025/MC-11014796-0001.pdf

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Do not spray the silicone directly on the rubber seals. The propellant can attack the rubber. Instead, spray it onto a rag and let the propellant flash off, then wipe the seals with the rag. For a little while, but the silicone gets absorbed into the rubber quite quickly. Note: I use the...

    Broken moon roof switch (2014 CX-5)

    Mine is a 2014 NA car (for comparison), but it doesn't have that connector. I *DO* have the homelink/dimming mirror though, and that is wired separately, so I doubt your connector is that.

    Dealer won't use synthetic oil - 2022 CX-5 Turbo

    Data point: I took my (CX-50) turbo into the dealer for oil change/service this morning and asked the Service Advisor the syn/conventional question... he said their 5W30 oil was conventional and that's what they use (and were told to use) for the turbos. We all (there were a couple of other...

    82,000 Miles, first brake job

    Our 2019 CX-5 is at just over 50K and the rears need doing. About 3mm right now. I've got pads and rotors, but haven't got around to it :/

    Remote window lowering

    It starts almost immediately, but you must continue to hold the button down until the windows are all the way down (or as far down as you want)

    Looking for advise on buying 2022-2023 CX-5 Turbo

    0W20 is only available in synthetic AFAIK, so more confusion there!

    2025 PP CX-5 Cylinder Deactivation Question

    It sounds like you are talking about iStop, rather than Cylinder Deactivation. iStop has a button to disable and activates (stops the engine) when you come to a stop and press the brake firmly enough.
