    2023 CX-5 2.5S Premium Plus CarPlay - Factory Wireless?

    Quick question about my gf's new 2023 S Premium Plus we picked up yesterday: is Wireless CarPlay factory installed or do we need to use a wireless dongle? Cable obviously works, but I'm surprised I couldn't find wireless, especially since my MX-5 RF with the older infotainment has it and this...

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    Anyone know of any dealers that have 2021 Touring FWD CX-5s for sale at MSRP?? My local trusted dealer is out, and I have to replace two 2016.5 Tourings, both with under 25K miles on them, that got totaled 10 days ago when a retaining wall got taken out by torrential rains (20" in less than 12...

    vs Forester?

    It's there, but it's really not an issue as it's hardly noticeable. I haven't driven a 2.5T Subaru, but from what I've read the 2.0T is not as laggy (or as powerful) as the 2.5T.

    vs Forester?

    We have both a 2016.5 CX-5 Touring FWD and 2017 Forester XT Touring at our house, bought them both in the last 4 months. We bought the CX-5 in January for our son, the XT is my DD, bought it in March after the 2017 CX-5 press release. Both are great CUVs, and almost bought the 17 CX-5 instead...

    Mazda CX-5 MPS in the pipeline?

    True on the diesel... As for the 2.5T in the CX-5, still a distinct possibility, as all the R&D has been done, it's in the production inventory, and it needs to sell x number of units to recover costs. Rotary on the other hand hasn't been in production form in a long time, so you are talking...

    What do people use to clean touch screen?

    Disagree with me all you want, but google "using paper towels on eyeglasses". You will find article after article after article saying to never use paper towels to clean eyeglasses as they WILL scratch lenses over time. My mother swore on using paper towels on her glasses, and wondered why her...

    What do people use to clean touch screen?

    A paper towel is to coarse, and it will over time leave scratches on glass, so it will also leave scratches on a LCD screen.

    Carplay and Android Auto coming soon? Crossing fingers...

    It was the same with the Connect system back when we bought our Mazda3 in 2014. The first release of connect in the US had Real-time traffic as well as WiFi connectivity but it got removed with the first or second firmware upgrade due to reliability issues and/or changing service providers...

    Corksport interior light kit worth it?

    The actual LED Components can and should last a long, long time. It is how those LEDs are engineered & designed for an specific application and then assembled that causes most of the issues and failures.
