Is this on all of the Mazda CX-5?

Thanks! Some great tips in there, a couple I didn't know or wasn't quite sure about. Another great one you could mention in future is that you can assign your seat position memory setting to your key fob. Just adjust the seat, press the "Set" button on the seat, but instead of pressing 1 or 2, you hold the unlock button on your key fob until you hear a beep. So next time you unlock your car with that key fob, and the seat has been moved by someone, it'll adjust to your position memory within 40 second of unlocking the car.

Not only do you hold GME, but you also work at a Mazda dealership. A man of culture.

This is all from my 2019 CX-5 GT. Additionally with the key fob. If the fob battery is dead, place the end of the fob on the start button and it'll light up, letting you start the car. The 4 bars on the radar cruise control display are not car lengths. The distance they represent varies with your speed. When setting a new destination in the GPS that's over 25 miles away, do it manually and start by entering the zip code. It immediately tells NAV what state & area you'll be in and adjusts the expected street names. Whenever you get service done, ask the Mazda shop to also check the infotainment firmware for a new version. The panel light brightness knob has an additional function. If you push it, you change from imperial (miles) to metric (kilometers). If you can afford it, get the trim level with the heads up display. You'll love it. Speed, GPS directions, blind spot monitor and speed limit all right in front of you. If you have the heads up display, get NON-polarized sunglasses. If you use polarized sunglasses the display all but disappears. The vertical position of the heads up display can be adjusted in the settings. The lane keeping function cannot be fully turned off. The lowest level you can go it to get haptic feedback in the steering wheel and the lane flashing. At least that's better than fighting the car just to change lanes. The traffic monitoring on the map is currently $7/mo by itself from Sirius xm. Not worth it, IMO. One question I have. When the radar cruise slows the car, do the brake lights go on?

I didn't want my wipers to turn on in the automatic carwash because that could damage the wipers. So I turned off my rain sensitivity in the center screen (Settings>> Vehichle Settings>> Rain Sensing). Now my "Auto" setting works as Intermittent, and now the middle dial with the bars does work for different speeds of intermittent.

Thanks for the awesome vid! Question, I have the 2022 model. I noticed your cruise monitor/lane departure screen is on the right instead of in the center with your speedometer. Is that something you can adjust? Thanks again!

The Bose Centerpoint is set to off for a reason. It’s ok for mixes done in quadraphonic…I play around with it sometimes but it changes the mix that was intended for the listeners. When you turn it on the stereo will be louder which tricks you into thinking it sounds better. If u want the music to sound the way it was intended I would keep it off. If I watch a movie in your car and want surround sound then turn it on.

When I’m on a two lane road and veer towards the center line, my radio output will shift to the right speaker for a few seconds. The opposite happens if I veer too close to the right side of the road. When that happens, my radio output will shift to the left speaker. It’s a subtle brain hint to correct your steering. I have the 2020 CX-5.

Perfect for those long road trips where you have people in the back seat and absolutely no luggage. Of course ;)

One thing you might not know about your Surround Sound - - it defaults to OFF because most people listen to Music on their Bose system. Surround Sound is designed to enhance dialog in Movies primarily. If you are listening to Movies, Podcasts, things with a lot of human voice... then the setting in your video is correct. But the car came with it turned OFF for a reason.

For sure everything n this video up to the Bose info applies to the 2017 and 2018 CX-5 models as well, and I am pretty sure what you said regarding the Bose system also applies.
