    CX-5 Wheel fitment question

    Quick fitment question: would these wheels from a Mazda Tribute meet compatible wheel specifications for a CX-5 winter wheel/tire set? They're for sale locally at very cheap and I'm trying to figure out whether they might work. TireRack wasn't sure (although they're roughly the same specs as the...

    Questions for CX-5 owners who installed subwoofers

    Crutchfield has a deal right now on the Sound Ordnance B-8PTD compact subwoofer with wiring kit and I am tempted. A few installation questions for those who have already installed subs in your CX-5s: 1) What is your cable route from the battery to the interior? 2) Where did you ground? 3) If...

    Parrot Asteroid Smart Installation in a 2014 Grand Touring

    I thought I'd post a followup to an earlier thread where I was requesting help in completing a headunit installation. Before I say anything else, my most sincere thanks once again to all those who helped me sort out my various complications—mentalcase, RedBaron, TreyP, to name a just a few of...

    Could I get some headunit wiring assistance?

    Hi all, I initially sat down to type this out as a sort of brain dump to check my work but I figured I might as well post it. All the headunit installation threads lately inspired me to give it a shot. I'm not a completely inept DIYer but I'm trying to sort out a headunit installation in my...

    PSA: the CX-5 body panels are super fragile!

    I was reversing out of my narrow driveway this afternoon and barely clipped a snowbank on the driver's side when turning the car. Upon later inspection I found a cracked front body panel just below the fog light. When I was looking at how to try to mend it I noticed how thin and fragile the...

    How would you hide a USB cable from the front 12V up to the dash?

    EDIT: Nevermind! It's easy and totally doable. The dash pieces both down by the 12V port and back by the windscreen both spread apart enough to slip cabling through. Done and done. ~ ~ ~ So I mount my phone with an ExoMount 2 on the flat part of the dash slightly above and to the left of the...

    Does anyone know how to remove the black shiny plastic on the front?

    How do I remove the shiny plastic piece that spans the front of the car above the badge and beneath the lip of the hood? Shown here: http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2012/10/08-ford-escape-mazda-cx-5.jpg or here: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51S%2BxDKWE2L.jpg It seems...

    Penny for your thoughts? Considering trading CX-5 for new Mazda3

    First, I know this is a personal choice and one that is ultimately up to me. I just feel like the new Mazda3s offer everything the CX-5s do, with a better MazdaConnect interface, improved fuel economy, and a bit more fun while still offering a hatchback design. And I'm just a single guy, I don't...

    2014 GT - Leather seat stitching pulling/fraying

    Greetings, I've been driving a new 2014 GT for about a month, and I noticed already that some of the red stitching in the leather seats is pulling and fraying a bit. Is this normal? I would not think so for a brand new vehicle. I'm a small guy and pretty careful when I get in and out of the...

    Android users: which audio player is working best for you?

    I've been driving my 2014 GT for a few weeks and am still fighting with getting bluetooth to function properly. This is irritating because my aftermarket Pioneer on my trade-in was absolutely flawless. I have a late model Motorola RAZR M (XT907) running Android 4.1.2, which should work just...
