    In the new 2021 system, does it limit carplay scrolling lists?

    I have a 2016 CX-5 where I installed the Apple CarPlay hardware myself as soon as it came out. Another thing with 2016 is the serial to USB cable and tweak I installed to allow the touchscreen while the car is in motion. This not only does what it says, but it also allows the commander wheel...

    2017~2024 CX-5 carbon edition turbo instrument cluster

    Thanks, I knew someone on here would reply faster than Mazda USA. I wrote almost a similar email to them. Does the new cars regardless of the instrument cluster have the new chime sound? I mean its not the end of the world, I just thought that was a glaring omission. I drove a 2020 CX-5...

    2017~2024 CX-5 carbon edition turbo instrument cluster

    According to the Mazda CX-5 owners manual, there are 3 types of gauge clusters. Type A has an all-digital center which is where the multiple functions are cycled through, while analog gauges to the left and right of it. Type B which is analog tach and speedo but on the right is a full digital...

    2013~2016 Belt Tensioner - Shouldn't this be a warranty item?

    I can’t belive with all the reports of this issue, a recall of extended warranty on this part wouldn’t have been issued. Even VW recognized their mistake in the high pressure fuel pump in the 07-09 2.0T engine and extended that $1500 repair to 10 years or 120,000 miles.

    2013~2016 Belt Tensioner - Shouldn't this be a warranty item?

    I have the car back. It’s clearly new looking. I notice my engine cover says skyactiv. The 2020 said skyactiv g. What’s the difference between the G version on the 2020? The loaner was not a turbo, though I strive to get one some day. I can’t see a part number from the engine bay, but on...

    2013~2016 Belt Tensioner - Shouldn't this be a warranty item?

    My car is done now, after work I'm going to get it. The total bill was around 470 for oil change, tire rotation, air filter, cabin air filter, and the tensioner. I'll be sad to return the 2020 CX-5, but one day I'll get a new one with a turbo hopefully.

    2013~2016 Belt Tensioner - Shouldn't this be a warranty item?

    Well hopefully the revised part lasts longer. It’s a shame there isn’t a recall for it. I imagine if it falls off when driving, that’s not a good thing. I’m enjoying the 2020 loaner, just they have some kind of cleaner overspray all over the piano black, hvac screen and gauge cluster. No...

    2013~2016 Belt Tensioner - Shouldn't this be a warranty item?

    I have a 2016 CX-5 in for server and the belt tensioner is leaking badly. I'm almost at 54,000 miles. I purchased the car certified pre-owned in March of 2018. For tire rotation and oil change they did a full inspection and showed me that the belt tensioner is leaking and highly recommend a...

    2013~2016 Center console won’t stay closed

    They said it’s not covered under warranty. They said it would be $78 to fix. I said no thanks. There is a belt tensioner leaking oil or something. They are going to do that and had to order the part. They gave me a 2020 CX-5 for a few days until that part comes in and they install it...

    2013~2016 Center console won’t stay closed

    I have an oil change / tire rotation appt scheduled for August 1st and mentioned it and if it’s covered by the extended warranty that I paid extra for, to fix it. If it’s not covered let it go. I found it cheap online and a YouTube video so obviously I can do it for the cost of the part ( <...

    2013~2016 Center console won’t stay closed

    On my 2016 CX5 the center console will not stay closed. It’s really unusual to see one of these fail open. I’ve seen most cars where this is not “springed ” and forced up/open. Usually car manufacturers follow gravity and this would stay shut, if anything quickly fall shut if there was a...

    2013~2016 Battery life?

    The dealer did an oil change, front brakes and brake fluid flush last Monday. On the paperwork it said good for that battery. Ill look into the cosco route. Do you have to be a member? Isnt that like Sams Club? I had a Bosch battery last 8 years in a VW I had. Now that car didnt have a...

    2013~2016 Battery life?

    I have a 2016 CX-5 and today it wouldnt start. Now I did fully wash it and clean the interior, so the doors were open for some time, but really not for an enormous amount of time. I did not have accessories on or the radio. I cleaned all the seats and vacuum it out really good. Then 2 hours...

    2013~2016 Electronic parking brake flashing

    Ok I have appointment next Monday at 9:30. By then I will have gone 250 miles and will need an oil change anyway. Last time they did oil change they noted that my rear brakes were low, and would likely need to be done by next oil change. So I told the service advisor everything that happened...

    2013~2016 Electronic parking brake flashing

    I never thought about the battery because they lasted about 7 years in my past two VWs and 6 in my wifes old Ford Escape. Ill have autozone test it. I still have extended warranty but Im sure the battery is a consumable and like printer ink, your on your own for that.

    2013~2016 Electronic parking brake flashing

    I can tell you after letting it idle, it starts right up, no cabin light dimming on every starter rotation. I did just drive 40 minutes highway, no issues. My indicator came on for maintenance, <250 miles for oil change and tire rotation. Last oil change they said I would need brakes. Maybe...

    2013~2016 Electronic parking brake flashing

    I had an issue today where the car was a little struggling to start, like the starter / turn over sounded weak and slow, and the brake light was flashing. The electronic parking brake was stuck on. So I turned the car off and after a minute back on again, same issue. Because it sounded like...

    Miles remaining always goes down faster when theres less fuel This isnt necessarily a Mazda problem, but an automotive problem in general. It seems like and maybe this isnt the case, but fuel tanks are almost like upside down pyramids. When the fuel level gets lower, the fuel consumption is...

    2013~2016 Left sunroof open durning rain. Tips to ensure CX5 dries out?

    Well I bought damp rid just to be safe. Its a low profile container. It says in bold do not put it under the drivers seat. Not too sure why so I put it under the passenger seat. I do notice it smells strongly of the carpet cleaner powder or laundry detergent powder or something. Maybe the...
