Thanks Buzz !!! Well have to say being and Old Dino all those things are still instilled !!! I had a 73' MGB as a daily driver for almost 14yrs, so I was used to monthly weekly maintenance !!!

Hi Ray You mean I'm supposed to read the Manual ???? Good to see you're still around !!! I did check it and was just really wondering about the Spark Plugs and if it'd do me any good. I've got a good Mechanic close by (1/2 mile) but just didn't know if it would really gain me anything in...

It was on the Car Computer, most all is from in town and some highway but not much. I had battery issues last year, and so when unhooking it things kind of had to start over. Take Care CK

:D:D:D It's nice isn't it, I had the young guys at the Oil Change place laughing when I'd asked them how many miles since I had my oil changed "last" year... The guy that came over and said right at 2K miles, and the young guys said How Many !! and were laughing, I said that's one of the nice...

Thanks, I guess I'm just an old Dinosaur and remember the old days of having TuneUp's every couple of yrs or so . Take Care, CK

Hi All, I'm going to have to take my 2016 CX-5 GT AWD into the Dealership to get the flickering light ring replaced under recall and was wondering about your Thoughts on getting a tune up while they've got it there. I've had the car since Aug 2015, only have 36K Miles on it, bought it as my...

LOL well I think I gleaned all the info ;-) It still irritates the Hell out of me that I even have to do this. But it's just the way things are. Appreciate everyone's help and thoughts !!! Take Care, Be Safe out There !!! CK

Hi, You're right that's not bad pricing, I was paying about 65 a year for the MMS. I didn't really mind It that much as when you needed it , it was there, but it was just a little bit of a thump on the snout each year after paying top dollar for the GT AWD and MMS to be charged an annual fee...

Thanks !!! I agree, I was always a little upset each time I had to pay the "subscription" fee for those 4 yrs then to get dumped. Appreciate the Help and Suggestions !!! Take Care, Be Safe, CK

Thanks, the message had said doing away with 3G, I'll check into that !!! Take Care, Be safe, CK

Thank You, I'll look into that I wasn't familiar with how it worked. I have to say, I was always a little miffed that I had an annual fee with the MMS after spending all money when I'd ordered the car. Take Care, Be Safe, CK

I love the "In My Day" had to laugh as in My Day, seems like we had to push them off more than using a key !!! Thanks for your input, I really appreciate it, I need to call the Service Dept and just see what they have to say. Then go from there !!! Take Care, Be Safe, CK

Hi, LOL well, I think that's the thing I needed a little butt kick !!! I really do love Technology and this is /was my Retirement Gift to myself so I've always babied it and been concerned for things that caused problems. We have a new Dealership here in our Little Town so that will make...

Thanks Very Much, I'm afraid that's one of those being a dino doesn't help. I've never used WAZE, I think I had it on my IPhone years ago, but for some reason it didn't do well for me. BUT I also still use my Desktop 90% of the time for things. What I'd really love to find or learn is to be...

Thanks Very Much, Appreciate the ideas, I just wished they weren't discontinuing the MMS , I have to say it's worked really well and I'm one of those that can't remember if I locked the car a lot, so it's nice to be able to do that from anywhere. Take Care, Be Safe, CK

Hi All, I was notified by Mazda that Mobile Start was going to be discontinued and they were offering me the Apple Car Play installed for free. I'm somewhat Older ;-) and don't use my Phone while Driving and have been OK with the Mazda GPS System, I'm saying that as I know that supposedly Apple...

Thanks So Much Ray, I knew I could count on You !!! I don't think I want a second FOB Sure hate to throw away the MMS but have to say I've probably only used it 20-30 times in the 5yrs I've owned the CX5 It was nice to have to lock the doors and start a couple of times. Take Care, Be Safe, CK

Just to add a little info I just got an Email from Mazda and they are discontinuing the MMS Service I think it was when the Subscription Ends this Year. I've had the MMS since I got my 2016 CX5 GT AWD 08/2015. It's been OK at best, most times I forget to use it, but it has been nice to be able...

Hi Ray !!! Yes, I was made for Retirement !!! Well, on the brakes, no never have driven it into the saltwater. I kept wondering if it just sitting out in the parking lot with the wind off of the water would salt up the rotor and make it where they'd glaze or crust up ? The Mechanic who's...

Hi All, I have a 2016 CX5-GT AWD (32,000 miles) and on a 10 day trip to the Texas Coast ( Yes we have one ;-) ) when we returned home my brakes started kind pulsing when I come to a stop. I tried to clean them with some hard stops, but nothing seemed to help. I finally took it to my Mechanic...
