I don't think this can be done. Any vehicle I have ever worked on in the past, when it comes to this mod you usually have to either short out a relay or do some sort of other wiring change so that it does not switch the fogs off when the highs go on. I am sure its the same case for out CX5's

Yeah I can second what @yrwei52 is saying. Before buying our CX5 we did a ton of research on fitting car seats into a CUV. Mainly rear facing seats as they are what we would be using primarily as well as they are commonly the most problematic for people. In the long run, almost all CUV's had...

Hey @thedaddyb They said that they couldnt use the LATCH system because of the recline they had to set it at I guess. I would have preferred the LATCH system personally because it makes everything so much easier. I might give it a go myself again and use it anyway.

Sorry for the lateness on my reply. I was going to install this myself but my wife wanted to take this to a car seat technician to have them install it "right". Overall it does take up more space than our old infant base/carrier. I would have preferred to have it installed in the middle but the...

Some cars look great de-badged, others I feel look kinda naked without them. With the CX5 I kinda think they don't look too great without the badges. It looks clean for sure but I like the idea of doing dark badges (plasti-dip / paint) the badges on there myself. Thats just my option though.

I think there are a lot of great dealerships out there, all over the world from all different mfg's. The experience each person has I think is very subjective and generally when someone has a good experience they dont say too much about it unless someone specifically asks. However if someone...

Ha thats too funny. What he means is that so many people ask the same foolish questions over and over again and never get a real response. No one has a clue and they dont bother to figure anything out for themselves lol.

I cant comment specifically on the seats you are using but I can give you some input from our side. We have an 8 month old and its time to transition from the infant carrier to a convertible. Currently we have a Graco Snug-Ride 30 system that has a base in the CX5 and a base in our 2nd vehicle...

We did the exact same thing before we bought the CX5 a few weeks back. We took out the Rav4 SE and loved it but when we went back to talk numbers they were trying to screw us over and tell us the numbers on the Toyota website are not correct (when using the online calculator) and it was off by...

For us, we both work in the software industry and make very good money, especially for where we live as the cost of living is quite low and we have an awesome quality of life. We could quite easily afford a much more expensive house and a much more expensive vehicle. However we chose the CX5...

Good to know. I have a couple of OBD2 bluetooth readers and use Torque Pro to monitor everything. I haven't installed one on the CX5 yet but its good to know this as well because I would be calling the dealership as well if I saw this.

Decided to do some interior LED light conversions tonight. Much brighter and cost very little for them from Amazon. I am happy with the results and only took all of 5 min to do. Small things :)

Those are pretty slick looking @barqy Nice work.

Yeah, I agree with limleong. It would be some sort of hardware issue and worst case is they replace the whole head unit. Right now it just seems like they are just troubleshooting and logically replacing things one at a time. 20 days in the shop though if definitely a long time for something...

I have never installed these things but in theory they should be fairly easy to install. I think some of the biggest challenges you would have would be: 1) Finding a proper power source to run these. Depending on how you wanted them to function, when the interior lights are on, when you turn...

I agree, this was one worry I had when we bought the car. I figured my wife would do this at some point as well so I made sure to tell her to always have the keys on her when she gets out and goes anywhere away from the car. Like other though I have noticed that I think its hard to lock the...

I have seen those offers on commercials and other ads so I know what you are talking about. In my specific case there were no other options like that. It was just the deals they had/have going on to clear out the 2016 stock it seems. I think the 2016.5's were like 2.5%-ish but when we did the...

Is there a chance they need to be recalibrated maybe after they replaced them?

For sure, we may not be comparing apples to apples with our friends on the South side of the border. They were also able to give me loyalty discounts (we also own a Mazda 3) and then some other stackable rebates as well as they had the "Summer Escape" promotion, but I passed on that and took...

Exactly! I got 0% straight from Mazda. There is no way I could ever go to my bank or any other credit provider and get something like that. Unless I was going to be switching all my products to them or something. So my point still stands, hold out and get a 2016 MY and get better rates.
