Has Anyone taken that cubby out to see what's behind it? I'm just wondering if there is some obstruction back there that prevented mazda from making it a bit deeper and more useful.

I have no idea what it looks like on the 2016 models...(bolt)
On the 2016, it looks the same as yours before you installed the SD card reader in it. On the 2016, the SD card reader is at the bottom of the center panel, in front of the shifter. You can see it in the picture.
What car is that to have both a Manual transmission and heated seats?
I see that the tach red lines around 5000 rpm, this must be a diesel one?
Didn't someone say this cubby is gone with the '16.5's?
Not just illuminated, that means all 4 windows have one-touch up-and-down feature where many people wished we could have it here in the US!Hmm, you'll also notice that all 4 of the window switches are illuminated. But the panel seems to be missing the door lock switch?

It also has power folding outside rear-view mirrors.
I wonder if that Euro spec'd window switch control panel could be installed in the US CX-5 to gain the one touch up down feature? I also wonder if the window switch from the new Mazda6's could be put in, they look very similar. I don't know if the one touch is controlled purely by the switch or if they have different motors in the doors.
Good question. I'm not an expert in car electronics but if the solution is just to install a different switch worth a couple more bucks at the most, Mazda Customer Support would deserve a sh*tload of nasty emails. Just sayin'........
Simply replace the PW switches with panel won't do it. One-touch up-and-down power window feature normally requires more sensors and special mechanism for anti-pinch safety feature and the PW control module is different or needs to be reprogrammed to support this function. This is the same on "automatic" moon-roof where CX-5 doesn't have.I wonder if that Euro spec'd window switch control panel could be installed in the US CX-5 to gain the one touch up down feature?

Hold your nasty e-mail. Making the remaining 3 windows open and close automatically is not as simple as you assume.
All 3 window motors would need to be upgraded to motors with two hall effect switches (so the PW Control Module can count motor revolutions or, more accurately, fractions of revolutions). And the control module would need to be upgraded to be able to count the revolutions of all four motors. Whenever your battery was disconnected it would be necessary to recalibrate all four windows instead of one.
