    Dealing with door panel trim coming loose

    For some reason the 'leather' door trim of the front passenger side panel in my 2016 CX-5 is coming loose. I pushed it back in with a plastic spudger but it won't stay in place and works itself loose again. Has anyone had this happen? Do I need to remove the whole door panel and glue it in place ?

    Do floor mats for 2017+ models fit the 2016 CX-5?

    Apologies if this has been discussed before, but do floor mats for the 2017+ models fit the 2016 CX-5? Looking to replace a worn driver's side floor mat and the 2016 ones are expensive ! The 2017-2021 ones are far cheaper but dont want to risk buying something and then it doesn't fit :) Anyone...

    Replacing CX5 OEM battery with a Group 35 AGM equivalent

    The dealer tested the battery today after charging $100 for running diagnostics on the EPB and battery. Apparently the battery tested 140 SAE/CCA so it's one foot in the grave They quoted $250 + labor for a new battery and cautioned me against doing it myself - saying that there's DTC codes...

    Replacing CX5 OEM battery with a Group 35 AGM equivalent

    I use DBPower - it's cheap and on Amazon for $65~$80 depending on offers https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01D42TYFC/?tag=m20b7-20. There's also NOCO that many folks say is real good https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015TKUPIC/?tag=m20b7-20

    Replacing CX5 OEM battery with a Group 35 AGM equivalent

    That’s actually what my driving is like now, thanks to the Pandemic. What AGM battery did you use and what tester is it?

    Replacing CX5 OEM battery with a Group 35 AGM equivalent

    Would a good OBD2 scanner record and display what was happening with the battery charging voltage? I’m wondering how to check if there’s any parasitic drain ...

    Replacing CX5 OEM battery with a Group 35 AGM equivalent

    The quora article you linked to says But then it claims Isn't that a bit contradictory? As the ability to deep-cycle usually refers to 80% discharge? The BatteryTender I have claims to charge both AGM & Flooded -...

    Replacing CX5 OEM battery with a Group 35 AGM equivalent

    Interesting - didn't know AGM have different charging characteristics. I think I will stick with the Wet/Flooded battery therefore. What's interesting is that after charging the car with a 5A 12V battery tender for a couple of hours (and the tender/charger indicated that the battery was at 80%...

    Replacing CX5 OEM battery with a Group 35 AGM equivalent

    My CX5 2016 battery is looking like it's giving up the ghost. It just wouldn't start today, and it's done this six months previously. Last time it happened it was after the car hadn't been used for four weeks, I then charged it with a battery tender and it ran fine - till now Recently the...

    CX-5 Android Auto / Apple CarPlay

    Got the upgrade for my 2016 CX5 - had a $40 coupon for the service center closest to me so it cost $360. So far so good - noticed the Infotainment version is 70.00.100A. The only few annoyances are: - Apple Maps colors look washed out on the Mazda screen. I guess too many light colors and...

    New AA \ ACP Thread (with Poll)

    Got the upgrade for my 2016 CX5 - had a $40 coupon for the service center closest to me so it cost $360. Another service center down in San Jose was offering $100 off but it would have meant an hours drive down to SJ and another hour's drive back. So far so good - noticed the Infotainment...

    "Keyless Entry System Malfunction"

    I called them and was quite curt - they told me that it had started working mysteriously and they didn't know why or couldn't find a fault. I asked if water on the window could have made its way into the door switch triggering that warning - again they were clueless. I've read on the forums that...

    "Keyless Entry System Malfunction"

    I have a 2016 CX-5 that suddenly decided to display 'Keyless Entry System Malfunction' along with the driver's side door handle request button not working. The fob can lock/unlock doors and the door handle request button on the passenger's side works just fine. None of the buttons appear to be...

    2016 CX5 Grand Touring - Error with Front Camera?

    I've had it a few times. It's random but only ever happens when starting the car from a cold start. I've never seen it when starting the car after its been running for some time. I wish I knew how to test if the iActivesense was working properly

    I like my wife's new CX-5

    While the CX-5 with Titanium Flash isn't very common - the Mazda3 with the same color is more common. Before I bought my own CX-5 in that color, I just walked over to a dealer and checked out the Mazda3 in Titanium Flash It's a nice color - but here in SF and Bay Area, any pollen on it is more...
