    Updating software of the in-dash touchscreen/computer

    Has anyone tried hacking the software of the in-dash computer/touchscreen? The interface is horrendous. I am aware that this would void my warranty. Also - Mazda announced that the 2014 CX5 will be getting an upgraded in-dash computer, complete with apps like Pandora - would it be possible for...

    What Accessories did you receive (or wish you received) for the holidays?

    I was really excited that my wife bought me a cargo cover for Christmas. I also would have loved some of those Cover King seat covers somebody else posted about in another thread. Did anyone else receive any accessories for the holidays? Do you wish you would have received any accessories?

    Rear Parking Sensors as an add-on?

    I bought a CX-5 Sport manual, no options. Can the rear sensors be added, without the whole rear camera and display? All I really want/need is an audio tone to indicate distance.

    I did a search for this 'how-to' in the CX-5 section

    I can't seem to find a 'How-to: Convince your mother to get rid of her sluggish tank like Tahoe, and get a CX-5". She enjoys the features of OnStar, Sirius/XM, moon-roof, and the leather. All of those features can be found in a CX-5(except for OnStar). She is averaging 14-15mpg. Best I've...

    I have an older phone (Samsung Focus) and while it works alright, it does some annoying things while driving (like not hanging up properly after someone texts me) Plus with my old speakerphone I could punch the call button and say "TEXT so and so" and then dictate my message. With the Mazda...

    Tips for getting the best MPG

    I was not particularly pleased with the mileage I got on my last tank (24.3 mpg). I know it was due to my lead foot and a lot of stop and go city driving for most of the tank. As I started thinking about ways to improve my mileage without absolutely taking all the fun out of driving, I...

    Condensation on outside of CX-5 windshield

    I've had my CX-5 for about two weeks now and the only problem I've encountered is that the outside of the windshield fogs up at the slightest hint of humidity. The only way I've found to deal with it is to keep the wipers running. It's very annoying when you're the only one on the road with...
