The only AM stations I listen to have sister stations on FM that simulcast on HD2 their stations. This provides better sound and a more stable, static-free signal. Oh, the days when summer baseball was impossible to hear over the static!

I always have my phone on mute, so it doesn't make a sound, but shows the banner notifications on the CarPlay screen.

I just picked up my 2021, upgrading from a 2018. I want my old fob back. I'm used to having my keys in my pocket all the time, but the new fob is so big, it doesn't fit on the keyring very well, especially with any other keys. I'm thinking about other options – but what is everyone else doing? I...

I bought this late last year, and it did not work at all. I was in touch with their team's tech support folks on an almost daily basis as they sent suggestions and firmware upgrades. It never even got close to connecting, so I was ready to return it. I even had the label printed out. I cleaned...

Same. When the sales person was introducing me to the car (which I didnt want him to do) he set it to on and I thought it sounded amazing. When I got home and started fiddling, I realized just how unnatural it sounded. Still cool for certain types of music I guess, but in general I leave it off...

This does not sound like a Mazda problem, as much as an Android Auto letdown. Had you not used AA before? For me, the allure (I use CarPlay, but it's essentially the same thing) is in the interface as much (or more) than it is the actual functionality. Sure, I could use Bluetooth and the...

I like to use GPS/maps, even when I'm driving places I know well, mostly to avoid traffic. I haven't used the stock nav system much (I had CarPlay/Android Auto installed a couple of weeks after I bought the car), but yesterday I flipped it on just for grins. I found the interface and map display...

I have not experienced it being "touchy," in any way. However, if you don't like it and turn it off, just drive it like a regular car. It's not dangerous to turn it off, because cars have always lacked this feature. Just use the natural, standard feature that's always been there: your eyes, your...

I was going to directly compare them initially. A friend of mine bought one while I was in the early stages of car shopping, before I bought my 2018 CX-5. I did not actually drive her car, but rode in both the front seat and the back seat. I was not impressed with the ride quality nor the...

When I first started seriously shopping last August, the salesperson told me that it was just a free software upgrade, and would be available within 90 days. That just about came true, but of course it was far more than that, with the necessary USB hub upgrades and the added costs. When I...

I have been reading this thread since before I bought my CX-5. When I first learned that the touchscreen was locked out, I thought it would bug the heck out of me -- maybe to the point of wanting to look at a different car. I had recently installed a touchscreen/CarPlay unit in my older car...
