USB issue resolved on CX-5

USB on 2014 CX-5 read past threads on USB issues. Thanks to the guy who showed the easy way to remove center console sections & cup holders.

My USB problem was it didnt work on either Nano or flash drive. When I jiggled the flash drive and pressed it towards the floor, I was getting a connection as seen by the audio folder for USB lighting up.
So, went to local Mazda parts to get a replacement USB port, and they had to order. Not wanting to leave my center console apart, decided to take original USB port & by using a safety pin, pushed around on the internal flaps to raise them slightly higher low and behold, original USB port now working.

I'm a brand new owner and yesterday was driving, hit a decent bump and my usb connection dropped my iPod and went to FM. It sounds like my usb may need to be fixed like yours.

were you getting power at all to your USB when it wasn't working? my ipod shows that it's plugged in, charging, and the screen is locked out but I get no response from the head unit.
