cx-50

2025 CX-50 Long story short, I want to connect my Android phone to the vehicle via USB only, not via bluetooth. Every time I use Android Auto, the Mazda turns the bluetooth on the phone back on. Is that possible? If so, what are the exact steps/settings? TIA

I'm researching new cars. According to Honda hybrid owners, the battery runs out on a long mountain climb leaving the ICE to do the duty, greatly reducing the power and therefore lowering the ability to keep speed. How does your CX-50 Hybrid do on a long mountain ascent?

Hello All. I'm new to the forum, and have been trying to find out the weight of the 20" wheels on my '25 CX-50. Does anyone have that info? If so, please share and Thanks Very Much!

Update 2, 16:00 GMT: Have fixed the formulas and added "total $ spent" and "average MPG". The sheet has more fake numbers in it now (for you to erase), but I needed them there to make sure the formulas work, and it will show you a little more what it is. Update: I have an error in one of the...

Does anyone know why my emergency parking brake turns on while I'm sitting still in neutral and then go to drive and the parking brake activates. I just went through a car wash and at the end I placed my CX-50 into drive and the EPB activated. Barely avoided being rear-ended in a car wash. Or...

I have a 2025 CX-50 and I'm supposed to be able to lower all windows via my key fob. I've read the procedure and tried it numerous times but nothing happens. I'm pressing the "door open" button on my fob 4 times and holding the oen button down while waiting to see the windows lower. Am I...

My chrome looking roof rack rails stick out like two infected, gangrene thumbs. To remove the rails involves removing the headliner etc. I can see Mr. Murphy grinning at me while attempting this, so I'll pass. Is a vinyl wrap a good option or plasti-dip? There is a sharp angle on the outside of...

Oddly, the CX-50 weather package doesn't come with mud flaps. Is there an aftermarket, quality, non drill mud flap that's not too expensive?

I can only disable it temporarily until my next start up. Is there a way to permanently disable it? I drive A LOT and there's always road construction and obstacles--Lane Assist is hazardous where I drive. Just replaced my 2014 Mazda6 that had 262k miles with the CX-50 two days ago. I hope it...

Hey can anyone tell me where I can get leather type seat covers? I want quality covers that fit like a glove, maybe with some color options. Thanks!

In Mazda's North American lineup, the CX-5 has long been the polished star, globally admired for its sophisticated design and that signature Mazda driving enjoyment. Then arrived the CX-50, a compact SUV sibling with a decidedly more rugged, adventure-ready persona. Is it just a CX-5 in hiking...

Mazda's recent announcement halting Canada-bound CX-50 production from its US plant, effective May 12th, is more than just a reaction to new tariffs. While directly triggered by the US-Canada trade friction, this move exposes broader strategic challenges for Mazda in the vital North American...

The big news arrived with the 2025 model year: the introduction of the CX-50 Hybrid, borrowing proven Toyota technology to boost fuel efficiency. Now, as we look towards the 2026 model year, the question arises: what's next for this adventurous crossover? While official details are scarce...

Does anyone have recommendations for a CX-50 phone mount / holder / charger that does not "clip" into/on vents?

Brief comparison...They like the Honda the most but rate the Hybrid CX-50 right up there with the Honda. Not surprising, it seems the Mazda is most enjoyable to drive and has the nicer interior and overall design.

Hi - Bought the 2023 CX-50 Meridian Turbo in April 2023. First-time Mazda owner. LOVE this vehicle! Body, handling, interior are awesome and 0% financing sold me!! Obviously I love it alot as I have 25K miles on it (mostly highway miles). Had an engine malfunction notice on my dash on June...

O.k. so I have had my mazda cx50 meridian for about 2 months and one thing is that when I open the driver door the damn seat moves forward WTF. I have programed it over and over. Is there something I'm doing wrong

Finally could pick up the Mazda hitch and 7 pin wiring harness today from my dealer (harness took longer than expected). Glanced over the instructions, and here are some initial notes: The OEM hitch doesn't require dropping of the muffle (yes!) which the aftermarket hitches on my 2019 CX-5 and...

I wanted to carry over my Blackvue 900X Plus dashcam from my CX-5. The X and X Plus series require 3 wire connection (ground, battery and switched). The switched is required to put the cam into "Parking Mode" when the ignition is turned off and where these cams themselves actively monitor...

Among other considerations about potentially switching to a CX-50, I’m assessing if I will still be able to use my existing Yakima crossbars and towers. It appears from photos that the OEM rail design is the same or very similar to the one on my current CX-5, so I’m pretty comfortable assuming...
