    JDM rear low profile headrests

    Just ordered the Gen 1 headrests from Japan Parts for our 2020 GT. And now the wait for shipping begins. I assume that shipping is still delayed, but they will be here when they get here. Thanks to those who provided all the information here. Ordered the version in post #29, K072-88-240 02 -...

    2020 GT AWD PP — Which lights aren’t LEDs?

    Our 2020 GT with PP AWD did not have LED interior lights. I installed LEDs and they make a ton of difference! I believe the exterior lights are LEDs, but haven't really checked.

    Has Mazda changed their mind and included the NAV System on the 2020 GT and Reserve?

    I bought one of the cheap ebay listed cards and installed it in our 2020 GT. I made sure to buy it from a seller with a well established ebay reputation. It has Mazda labeling and was manufactured a couple of years ago. It updated correctly and performs perfectly. If it is a clone, it seems to...

    2017~2024 Door switch trim USA model

    Took a chance with the trim pieces and it worked out! Ordered the set of door trim pieces from China (where it seems they are all made) and after half a lifetime, they arrived. I modified the front passenger door piece using a dremel tool to create the door lock button hole. The process I came...

    Dealer service - fear tactics

    Had several Volvos in the past. The reason the overseas delivery program worked financially is that by taking delivery at a European factory it was a "used" vehicle as soon as the owner picked it up at the factory. Used vehicles have substantially lower tariffs than new ones, so the...

    CR Talking cars, CX-5 vs CX-30

    In early March, we went to a Mazda dealer to try out the CX 30, expecting to get one based on the early reviews. I am 5'9" and felt like a contortionist trying to get into the driver's seat due to the low door opening. It was obvious that the CX 30 would be unlivable for us. We then walked over...

    2017~2024 Door switch trim USA model

    I've also been trying to find the same pieces with no luck. Have been toying with the idea of trying to modify one that is available, but doubt it wouldn't look butchered.

    2020 Jan map available...

    I interpret that to mean that there is one update that has not yet been made to his SD card. Not that he can only get one more update. My understanding is that the only limit on updating is the 36 month time limit.

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Plugged in a $36 Mazda GPS SD card. Works great!

    Has Mazda changed their mind and included the NAV System on the 2020 GT and Reserve?

    We chatted about many things on the test drive and he professionally glossed over the GPS issue. I was already anticipating that it wouldn't include that and wasn't worried about it since I knew what to do for chump change. And no, the car we test drove did not have the SD card in it and...

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Purchased a red 2020 GT with Premium package last Saturday while it was somewhere in America enroute to the dealer in Kansas City. Picked it up today. Nothing like the new car smell. Counting on any spores to have died on the ship from Japan! Planning a road trip to get acquainted with it.

    Has Mazda changed their mind and included the NAV System on the 2020 GT and Reserve?

    Have another confirmation of what others replied to the question posed by this thread- our 2020 GT was delivered today, It includes the Premium Package and, sure enough, no GPS. Thanks to this forum, I anticipated that and just ordered the $36 Mazda SD card on ebay. For that price it won't have...
