    2017~2024 CX-5 Sport mode questions

    It amazes me that people don't know what a kickdown switch is. Try playing around with that on the highway. ;) Yea, your Mazdas all have it. https://www.cars.com/articles/what-does-kickdown-mean-in-an-automatic-transmission-1420690417731/

    CX-5 Ride quality on 17” wheels vs 19”?

    I run 19's in summer and 17's in winter and have for 7 years now. The difference is barely noticeable.

    iPod work with the 2024 Mazda CX-5?

    Not sure why you're asking about AA and an iPod. 2 different things. You could continue to use the iPod over BT in a Mazda. The higher trim Mazda's have wireless AA.

    Mazda Connected Services

    Well done SB. Thanks for sharing the process even if it doesn't apply to me and my old Mazda. Someone should share this on Reddit. Actually @sm1ke this probably applies to all the modern Mazda. Should move or copy this to the lounge for more exposure?

    Where's the best place to buy the Mazda map updates?

    The bootlegs activate just fine. You then update it yourself. It doesn't need to come with the latest maps.

    Where's the best place to buy the Mazda map updates?

    Yea, these things are so bootlegged, I'd just buy a new card either from the link tduic shared or where you got the last one.

    Anyone have this gunk in engine bay and know how to clean it?

    Came to say this. Like getting dried bird poop off your car (wet paper towel works great for that).

    Mazda is advertising CX-5 models without Cylinder Deactivation and i-stop

    I live in Stoplight hell. You seriously would not believe how long some of the lights are in my town. I actually don't mind Start/Stop in town.

    Deactivate the you're too close auto brake "feature"

    Then they were following too closely.

    2016.5 CX-5 FWD: 60K mile service, all of these needed?

    WOW! What the actual f?!?! Your car is out of warranty STOP GOING TO THE DEALER. These cars are NOT complicated. A corner garage can change your brake fluid. That's the only thing on that list you need that you didn't get done. $50 for rotate tires! Un-effing-believable. Pretty sure plugs are...

    Mazda OEM Parts question

    Love Medcenter. I don't know how they do it. Always cheaper. Bought my light up sills from them and saved $50. (Back when they weren't so damn expensive).

    At my wits end... *May contain complaints 😉

    Not to sidetrack too much...don't want Sm1ke to yell at us... :D but Geely has been great for Volvo so far. They needed cash and Geely gave it to them. The SPA line of Volvos (basically the generation with the new "Hammer DRL" lights) are brilliant cars. Well made, nicely appointed and teched...

    At my wits end... *May contain complaints 😉

    Couple of comments. I have a 16 CX5 and a 19 Volvo S60. A $32,000 car versus a 3 year newer $53,000 car. The Volvo has a similar fob with buttons on the side. Surely the Volvo one is better because I've never, not once ever, accidentally hit the buttons. And I'm slim with tight fitting pants...

    Mazda Canada OEM Liners vs All Weather Mats for slushy snowy salty areas?

    It doesn't make sense to design a car for a market (Japan) that sells less then 30,000 CX5 annually versus a market that sells over 130K... I don't believe for a second that Mazdas are designed for...littler people.

    How I fixed my problems with key fobs

    I bought batteries on Amazon. Constant issues. Got some new Duracell from the drugstore...that was 2 years ago. ;)
