What have you done to your CX-5 today?

And you would do all that because...?

From what I recall, Comma.AI adds lane centering capability to vehicles that don't have it. The CX-5 only has lane keep assist otherwise.

I didn't know that it now adds the features above. I certainly would not trust it in any scenario but it's interesting that they offer it.

Oh, if they only supported the 2016 CX-5 model.

Perhaps their 2017 version does. But I have yet to find anybody who has reported a successfull high-quality install on a 2013-2016.
But I can admire from afar.

Installed the Hugeek Door Sill Protectors. Nice black chrome with a slight brushed effect. Not sure on the effect but the sill will now be protected. They show your fingerprints too.

I ordered a couple of those elusive tie down (tow?) hooks to store near the spare tire for a "just in case" situation.
The Mazda parts guy I spoke with on the phone initially told me Mazda didn’t want people buying those because of liability reasons. I told him I had a part number, and he said ok he'd order them. I ordered two of the rear short ones, one for each car.
I got the part number from a post here. This is the hook and a screenshot of the post, if anyone wants the part number.

Took advantage of the warmer weather and washed the CX-5. The car was covered in fine road salt and grime; the dirtiest it's been in a while. Salt is very abrasive so it's best to use an acidic wash to remove as much as possible without touching it.

Steps:

• Thoroughly rinsed the underbody with my rolling pressure washer attachment
• Foamed the car with Carpro Descale, including wheels and wells
• Dwell 10 minutes (in warmer weather this is reduced by 1/2 due to drying)
• Pressure rinse
• Foamed the car with my degreasing wash (3D Super Soap + 1 oz Dawn Ultra), including wheels and wells
• Contact wash with 4 wash mitts and body brush
• Pressure rinse
• Dry

Drying this car takes forever after using the pressure washer. There is water coming out of the grille, front bumper, mirrors, tail lights, gas door, and every crevice you can imagine from the hatch. I do what I can to blow some of it out but it takes time + a drive to get all of it

i use a leaf blower to dry-works great

Yeah I tend to blow out these areas with my Dewalt but there is always more coming from the hatch even hours later.
