no homelink garage opener (without buying the tech package) you can buy this for $295 as an accessory from the dealer
yeah, and they wanted 150 to install it. plus, you've already paid for the mirror in the car. my point was i can get this and keyless entry standard on a basic kia or hundai. have to buy an expensive bundle if i want it on the cx5.

CtheW0rld, I've owned a Kia in 09 and although they give you a lot of extras for the price they don't cut corners in the places where most consumers don't look like their suspensions.
Another few reasons not to buy a CX5
If you don't like the look of bewilderment on your co-workers face when you tell your co-worker that you drive an SUV that gets 30 mpg easily and goes 0-60 mph in 7.5 seconds even with wheel spin (FWD).
You can't bare the look on your buddies face after he drives your CX5 SUV and realizes that this SUV handles better and is faster than his brand new Camry and has a higher quality interior.
You don't like it when the guy in his BMW looks back in his rear view mirror after taking that sharp off ramp and your CX5 is still right behind him and you can almost see the expression on his face say "HUH".
You don't like that you don't have to slow way down to tackle those off ramps with the sharp turns and the person behind you got in the middle lane to pass you, thinking your SUV will have to slow down, but you didn't slow down and then they have to force their way back in behind you.
If you like to be driving a RAV4 or CRV with the other 15 RAV4's or CRV's within 50' of your vehicle on the highway.
If you think Skyactiv is just another gimmick that an auto manufacturer made up backed up by nothing but a higher price.
If you prefer a CVT over a transmission that is actually fun and feels like a manual.
If you prefer the interior dash to look like the command center for the battle star galactica and you are stupid enough to believe that wading through menu after sub menu to change the volume or turn up the heat is better than simple knobs and buttons.
Okay I'm done
