I am curious as to outcome, since I get this rattle only sometimes in cold conditions. Please let us know what you find out NuMazdian.
Will provide updates after the second visit this weekend.

Please let us know what they say is the problem.
Just had my first oil change at 5000 miles at a local Mazda dealership past weekend and brought up the TSB issue Ref. # R017/12C regarding rattle on center dash when car is cold.
They claimed that they had tightened all the screws for the cowl as per the instructions on the PDF. However, I can still hear the rattle noise this morning. It was 31 degrees Fahrenheit outside according to the odometer.
I am thinking about going back again this coming weekend for a follow up repair... :-(
I don't think it has anything to do with the center speaker as there isn't one comes with the Sport trim. The rattle starts as soon as the first gear is engaged. It's just more noticeable in the center dash area. The rattle only lasted 5 minutes this morning because it was warmer outside. (53 degrees F)4-hour labor intensive for a rattle around a speaker???? wtf (upbum)
that's what my rattle sounded like and I was surprised but when I did the TSB of tightening the bolts under the cowl the rattle went away.
any link to the TSB?
I have the rattle in the passenger A frame and a "plasticy" rattle in the front dash.
the dash rattle is only when cold. the Aframe rattle is all the time.
thx
Brought my cx5 in for the dash noises today and showed the guy at service dept the TSB found here and the guy did the followings
Verified concern found TSB for concern TSB 09-009/12
Tightened low cowl panel 10 bolts to 22lbs and 2 mounting tabs on the cowl side. Reinforcement panel.
Roadtested vehicle all ok at this time.
My cx5 is now once again silence as a mice. (burnout) Thanks again for the TSB
Mine has been plagued with rattles and that TSB you listed for the cowl bolts did fix one of them. Still I have about three new rattles and its disappointing because I know if I go through the trouble of bringing it in again the technicians just dont want to deal with these and will just write that he can't verify the complaint on the slip. Rattles and squeaks are the worst to get fixed.
