cx-5

I've heard of people installing a remote starter that is able to utilize the original factory key fob (click lock 3 times to start engine). I've got a 2016 CX-5 Touring and would like to install something like this. Has anyone had success doing this? Could you recommend a brand? I need something...

Looking for a solid battery in the $100 region. I know nothing about cars or the best place to find batteries other than AutoZone and Walmart, nor do I know anything about the best brands.

First post here for a person whos been researching and lurking in this great forum! I wanted to ask you guys what you would do in my situation. I'm looking to buy a North American CX-5 (Touring level) (FWD or AWD) (w/PEP) in the next month or so (based on a new job starting in beginnning of...

Hopefully someone knows or know how to find the torque specs for the cx-5 (2016) caliper and bracket front and rear. The dealer gave me 23-28 ft lbs for caliper and 68-81 ft lbs for the bracket. Just wanted someone to confirm this as I'm not sure if this is correct and for both front and rear...

(uhm)I am looking at a CX-5 with the Technology Package and wonder if the i-ActiveSense be added after the fact/purchase? Used car with 3500 miles on it. If so, anybody wonder what the cost may be?

Loving my new 2017 CX-5 GT AWD with premium package. My wife is rather short and needs to adjust the height of the HUD display every time she starts the car. For some reason, the car doesn't remember the last setting as default. Anyone else have this issue? Wondering if its a bug or if a...

Hello Everyone, 2016 CX-5 Touring AWD 13K Miles For the past few months my front passenger door has been emitting an intermittent rattle/squeak sound at speeds over 40MPH. It seems to be worse on bumpy terrain or windy days. Sometimes I barely hear it, other times it is incredibly...

Just wanted to say hello. I just joined the club bought a 2014 CX-5 GT last week. Still learning the car but so far been having lots of fun with it. I have enjoyed reading through all the posts and like how active a community there is here. Currently added or plan to add tow hitch, roof...

I recently bought, and will soon install, a Curt class II hitch for my 2017 CX-5, model 12170. What are the trailer wiring options? I know Mazda sells an OEM trailer harness for my CX-5, but I don't know how it connects to the vehicle (is there an existing connector somewhere?). I have seen zero...

Hi there!! I'm Laura.. Recently I just passed my driving test (at 28.. yeah, I'm slow, LOL) and so now my Mum has just gifted me her car (my parents had two... no need for two anymore, so they thought why not. I think they also offered me it to speed me up to get a pass!!). So far it's been...

Berge Mazda confirmed they have four on site. Cardinal and Horne both show some available on their website. Does anyone have experience with any of the East Valley dealers? Is there one to steer clear of? EDIT: My wife and I will be doing some shopping today. I'll try to do some decibel meter...

Is it possible to swap a TomTom audio & nav head unit from a 2014 Mazda6 for a Mazda Connect head unit from a 2016 Mazda CX-5? It appears that it would would fit, but I have not been able to find any information on the connections or compatibility. I know this sounds crazy, but I'd really like...

I'm interested in a new CX-5, but I'm concerned with a lack of power. It sounds like I'd have fun on the twisty roads in Colorado though. What are members thoughts on the cx-5 in the mountains in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming?

Does anyone have any experience with seat covers for the CX-5? I just picked up a used '14 CX-5 Sport FWD w/6-speed manual. It's low miles and in great shape but I know that my wife and I will be hard on the fabric seats. We want to get seat covers but want them to fit as well as possible and...

So Ive been using the Rustoleum version of Plastidip. Ive been having issues with the Skyactive badge. Is there something different with this badge? Because after maybe a month the spray starts to fall off just on the Skyactive badge. The Mazda symbol and the CX-5 symbol are fine. I bought a...

Thanks for all the posts when I asked for help for myself (https://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123856274-Prospective-CX-5-owner-Which-model-year-trim-do-I-want). In the end, I decided to save some cash and bought a 2009 Vibe GT with 85k miles for $6k. It's not that I was ignoring your...

Hello - I tried looking in the "Prices Paid" sticky, but could not find any recent Canadian pricing information. I am looking at a 2016.5 Jet Black FWD GS model. (No roof rack, but does have heated cloth seats, backup cam, navigation) They are offering it to me for just over $33,000 Canadian...

I've been on the 2016 vs 2017 fence for a while now. Without starting the "which is better" I thought I'd look at what I care about most, and a BIG part of that is mileage. So we know that Mazda is ditching the 2.0L engine for 2017, but what I haven't seen definitive information on is whether or...

Hi, I have a 2015 Mazda CX-5 GS with a non-Bose radio unit. This model comes with the previous Mazda infotainment unit as all of you know. The thing that I want to know is if it is possible to replace my actual unit with the new one that comes in the 2016 model (Mazda Connect). It is important...

Hi All, I recently jumped into a 2013 CX-5 (love it so far) but one of my minor appearance qualms is the headlights. I came from a car that could be easily modified and had put aftermarket headlights in that completely changed the attitude of the car and I'd like to do the same to my CX-5, but...
