My Dad has had his '16 CX-5 for not quite a year and it's been great. Recently my older sister decided she wanted to buy a new car for herself, so since I am the "family car expert" she asked me what kind of cars she might want to look for. She said she wanted a crossover-type vehicle and she...

I looked at both local dealers today to see their prices for an oil change. One charges $74.95 for a synthetic oil change, the other charges $62.95 but that is after a $20 mail-in rebate (regularly $82.95). Both dealers use Castrol. I like doing oil changes myself anyways, but if I needed any...

So I installed the version of the latest software for my dad's CX-5 in preparation to install the apple carplay update. It seemed to have gone okay, and everything is working, but the radio stations are all on the wrong frequency numbers. What went wrong and what do I need to do to fix it?

How do you update the software? My dad's CX-5 has version 51.00.--- and it says you need version 70.--.----. I am technologically impaired. What do I need to do to update this?

I finally seem to have gotten the hang of the remote start on my dad's CX-5 except for one thing. Once the car is running, I go to open the door and the car shuts off. Yes, the key fob is in my pocket. Shouldn't the car stay running if I have the fob in my pocket?

One feature my dad's CX-5 lacks is automatic on/off exterior lights and I know it's something he misses about his old car. Is it possible to add auto lights? I know some cars everything is in the turn signal stalk, others not. If anyone can shed some light on this, it would be much appreciated.

My dad's CX-5 came with a the first oil change free when he bought it bought from now on, I'll be doing the oil changes myself. I've been looking at the Fumoto Drain Valves for a while and I want to get one for it. Has anyone used one? Does it need the adapter to make it fit? His car is a 2016...

On my dad's 2016 CX-5, there are several screws and on the body and under the hood that were apparently not zinc coated or stainless from the factory and the heads on them are now all rusted, and look unsightly. Has anyone found replacements for these screws that will not corrode? Some of them...

My dad's 2016 CX-5 Touring has been having key fob issues for the past 2 or 3 months. It has the factory remote start as well which has also been having issues. The key fobs themselves go through batteries in about a month. We tried swapping one for the other, and put new batteries in both of...

Has anyone used an eBay navigation SD card? They seem to run about $90 on eBay vs over $300 from the dealership. I'd like to add Navigation to my 2016 CX-5. Are they okay or are they junk?

Just curious what other vehicles CX-5 owners are driving. The CX-5 I have is actually not mine at all, but my Dad's daily driver, though there are quite a few other cars in the fleet. The CX-5- 2016 CX-5 Touring with Moonroof and Bose Package. Bought in July as a Certified Pre-Owned with...

Hello all, I'm new here. Last month I talked my Dad into buying a Certified Pre-Owned 2016 Mazda CX-5 Touring with Moonroof and Bose Speaker Package. It's a beautiful car and has a lot of great features. It has around 25,000 miles on it. I talked him out of buying a used CR-V and talked him into...
