    Curt Hitch/wiring for 2015?

    I'm about to order the Curt hitch and wiring recommended in the forums but they don't have the 2015 listed yet, nor does the dealer. Has anyone else installed a hitch on a 2015? Seems like a pretty safe bet to me that I'd get the right stuff if I get the 2013-2014 kit but I'd really hate to...

    CX-5 Headlight cutoff WAY too low?

    I bought a 2014 CX-5 (GT w/ Technology Package) about 6 months ago, and one of the things I was really excited for was the adaptive HID headlights. My other car is a VW GTI that also has HIDs which are probably my favorite feature of the car. The first time taking the CX-5 out at night I was...

    Brakes failed in the snow after hours of driving in storm -- not tires

    Yesterday, after driving freeway and stop-and-go through storm in which 5 inches of snow fell, I was 1/2 mile from home, going about 30 mph when I started to brake for a light and the foot peddle violently shook and didn't want to compress, slowing my car but not stopping it and pushing me to...

    Any way to turn on smart-turn without a touchscreen?

    I just purchased a 2014 CX-5 without a touch screen and I'd like to turn on the smart turn feature. The dealer actually wants to charge me for doing this, which seems crazy to me, as I could have asked them to do this for me before I bought it had I known it existed. It really can't be that...

    Hi guys, been on here for a while now, figured I should just make an actual account. So I recently decided to pick up the CX-5(first new car!) and I'm debating if I should pick up TomTom or not.
