    Show Gear in Active Display?

    I*ve wanted to do the same thing but no options I*ve found. I*m not sure if any of the aftermarket tweaks could do it, not sure how easy it is to manipulate what the HUD shows.

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Bro and I installed the CarPlay/AA kit. Was cool for me since I*d never done anything more than changing headlights before. Only had one issue, when we were putting the head unit back in ended up dropping one of the bolts and it fell down the air vent. Oops. Luckily ran up to the hardware store...

    GT Premium Package worth it?

    I say go for it. When I got mine I wasnt looking at one for the premium package but the dealership only had prem. pack with the color I wanted so they gave me a sweet deal. And first I thought the HUD would just be gimmicky but I love it now, so so so awesome. The heated steering wheel is nice...

    Live 2019 Mazda 3 Reveal

    Anyone else notice the updated commander knob and that surrounding area? Im guessing its not the fabled Mazda Connect 2 or they wouldve made a bigger deal about it. I cant find anything right now till they reveal some more info.

    Apple Carplay - and other questions as a (slightly frustrated) CX-5 newbie owner...

    In response to your question about the lift gate. You can open it, just have to unlock the car first. Im guessing its a safety thing, I had the same issue when I first got mine.

    Second Gen (2017 and up) CX-5 AA/ACP Installation Videos

    What all tools did you need for this? The instructions pdf lists torque wrench, ratchet, socket wrench, phillips and flat head screwdriver but all I could tell in your video was screwdriver and ratchet. Just want to make sure I have everything I need before I get halfway through taking...

    "Range Rover" two tone paint on CX-5

    Saw a Silverado with this paint job earlier this week. Not a fan of it on the CX-5 but its at least better than on the truck...

    New AA \ ACP Thread (with Poll)

    Not sure what iOS version you were on before but this is just something the iPhone does when it connects to your car. It's been like that at least since iOS 11, probably before. For me it will tell me how long to get to work, or an event if its in my calendar, etc.

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Man I've been waiting for a picture of Gen 2 with the fang rims! That looks so good! Now I just need to find some of my own.

    Keeping backup camera clean?

    I guess I should have clarified that I meant keeping it clear while driving. Even if I wipe it off when I get in the car it'll have water drops all over by the time I get to my destination.

    Keeping backup camera clean?

    Do y'all have any tips for keeping the backup camera clean/unobscured? Mainly talking about during/after the rain, it get water droplets all over it and it's not really usable until you get right up on something. It's been suggested that I put some RainX on it but wondered if you guys have done...

    New AA \ ACP Thread (with Poll)

    Yeah I highly doubt it, just thinking it'd be super unfair to make it free for 2018 and not 2017 when it's the same. But I'll be interested to see the video, that may determine if I DIY it or wait till I can bring it in to the dealer. I like to tinker but also worried I may irreversibly mess...

    New AA \ ACP Thread (with Poll)

    Hoping if they do that they would also include 2017s, at least for the CX-5, as there is no difference between the 2017 and 2018.

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Washed inside and out ahead of the upcoming hurricane rains. Also sorry for the potato quality, pictured looked fine when I took it.

    What other cars did you look at before getting your CX-5?

    Just curious what others considered. Got mine in 2017 just for model year reference. For me it was: - RAV4 SE (underpowered to be "sporty", interior felt cramped, just couldn't see myself driving it long) - CR-V (I know it's a mom car but it's a great car) - GTI (always wanted one but wanted...

    Mazda sent us stickers! Anyone else?

    Purchased my CX-5 almost a year and a half ago but no stickers :(

    Show me your CX-5 wheels

    Looks great! I*ve been looking at those rims as well. Could you expound a little on what you mean by *Completely changes the car*s driving*? Like rougher, smoother, feel the road more, etc

    2017 CX-5 Soul Red Crystal Metallic

    I was just about to ask if maybe they changed something with the paint process, or certain colors, for Gen 2 but it seems the problem was already at least somewhat there for Gen 1s.
