    Extreme Cold Triggering LED Headlight Warning Light?

    It's frequently been -25C (-15F) in the mornings for the last few weeks where I am and I've never had this on mine. I'm not sure cold is the factor unless they did something different on Canadian models.

    LED Lowbeam headlights

    I'm in the camp of excellent output, but the cutoff is too low. Dealer said they were aimed correctly, and if I want them higher I should adjust them myself. I haven't yet because I'll probably get flashed all the time. Not sure what to do about it. I drive a lot of rural roads at night and I'm...

    Diagram showing roof support locations?

    Isn't there some adapter or something that can adapt the Thule system to the factory rails that are already there? They're under the plastic covers on each side. This just seems like a bad idea.

    2016 CX-5 Infotainment Update

    You won't be able to browse artist/song/album etc over bluetooth with the Mazda system, but that info should show on the display when playing.

    Text Messages

    In my experience with all versions I've had on my 2016, it's flakey until you delete ALL MMS messages (text messages with pics/vids/sounds). After I did that, it's been flawless. No need to clear out all your SMS, just the multimedia ones. (including the emojis, I think)

    Stupid question. How do you turn music...just...OFF!?

    Cut the end off a junk pair of headphones and leave it plugged in to the aux input. Then set the audio source to aux when you want media off. Not exactly an elegant solution, but it will work... unless of course you actually use the aux input.

    Show me your Winter Wheels and tire combos.

    Managed to find a good place locally with an extremely good color selection, so they had anthracite grey. Here's a before/after...

    Winter Tire Question

    Pretty much. https://www.tacomaworld.com/tirecalc?tires=225-65r17-225-70r16 215/75/16 would work too, but depending on the tire brand/model you want, some of the matching sizes are a bit oddball and not available. I was going to go with 16's as well. I then managed to spot a nice set of 17"...

    Will Mazda 3 17" Rims work?

    The 17" tire size for the CX-5 is 225/65r17 The 19" tire size for the CX-5 is 225/55r19 Yes, the Mazda 3 wheels will fit, but your 265/65 tires are the wrong size. Way too big.

    Digital Speedometer

    The auto-install script didn't work for me, so I had to edit the files myself. The app works OK. Definitely not recommended for anyone unfamiliar with Linux :)

    2016 Seat Heaters

    Partially blown? What does that even mean? I've been working with electronic circuits for 20+ years and I have never once seen or heard of a "partially blown" fuse. A fuse is either open, or it's not. A poorly crimped connection could be right on point though.

    Digital Speedometer

    The infotainment system in our cars is pretty hackable if you know what you're doing. Someone on another forum created an app for the system that gives you a digital speed readout, and in a graph with average speed...

    All Weather Mats...Which?

    They also have a trunk liner that appears to cover the back of the seats as well... not just the floor. But it looks absolutely hideous! (boom06) http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B016C616U8/
