« Last Post by Gel on March 24, 2025, 11:45:31 am »UPDATE:
it seems you need to discard MAZDA TOOLBOX s/ware, if you have latest SATNAV [11" Screen], and only use the new MAZDA UPDATE TOOLBOX for new maps.

Vehicle Electrics / 7 pin tow bar electrics fit
« Last Post by SteveAWD on March 21, 2025, 12:49:29 pm »Hi all.Not been on here for a while as our 2013 2.2 CX5 has been running well for a couple of years now after I performed a head gasket swap along with a complete top-end overhaul including valves and a chain kit.
I bought a 13 pin tow bar electrics kit from Mazda a while ago but I can't get anyone interested in fitting it as the fitters want to sell me a complete tow bar with the electrics at some completely daft price.
I do have a 7 pin kit as well. Can anyone on here give me a heads-up on "splicing" in this 7 pin kit as to any problems they had after the fit please?
Just thought I'd ask the question before I did the job. I have done this before on a couple of diferent cars but I know how these Mazdas don't like to be messed with on the electrical side of things.

Vehicle Entertaintment / Navigation Systems / NEW MAP UPDATE Available
« Last Post by Gel on March 21, 2025, 11:41:06 am »I've got a 3 week old CX5 and tried to update car's SD Card, via my PC.
MAZDA TOOLBOX refuses to see SD on either a WINDOWS 10 OR 11 PC.
Very frustrating; problem seems commonplace.
Additionally Toolbox guide is wrong as it says NAVIGATION must be turned on in car, when inserting SD Card into PC SD slot; clearly car's NAVIGATION doesn't work when SD Card not inserted in car.

Troubleshooting / Blindspot monitoring
« Last Post by Macca1975 on February 19, 2025, 06:28:15 pm »Hi all. I have a 2020 Cx5 and had the wing mirror motor
replaced under warranty. When I left the garage I noticed the blindspot monitoring wasn't working properly, it was working when some cars went past then not when others. The garage are saying it must be just a coincidence and that the sensors at the back may be faulty now.
Anyone had any thing like this?
Cheers

CX-5 / Re: Proximity sensors
« Last Post by Nickg on November 04, 2024, 04:46:44 pm »Hi,
Just checked the site and saw your reply - thank you.
I'm in Dorset right on the Hampshire border.
I have bee having a play and lo and behold the parking sensors have returned to normal working.
Heaven only knows what was done and by whom but they work after baking into a telegraph poll and causing some damage.
Glad it was me and not my better half.
Thanks again
Nick

CX-5 / Re: Proximity sensors
« Last Post by Gel on October 18, 2024, 11:36:43 am »May help, though these sensors not detailed;
https://fusecheck.com/mazda/mazda-cx-5-2012-2017-fuse-diagram
When you take respective fuse box cover off there is normally embossed
lettering giving individual fuse assignments.
To avoid the analysis charge from the stealer [£120 in my area:(],
consider using a mobile auto sparky. I can recommend one
that covers Thames Valley, but your profile gives no location for you.

CX-5 / Proximity sensors
« Last Post by Nickg on October 16, 2024, 01:28:22 pm »Hi, for some reason the parking sensors on my wife's CX5 have stopped working. The sensor activation button still seems to work in that its lamp goes on/off when it is pressed. The sensors no longer react to anything near the car. However for some reason the reversing sensor does still operate correctly.
I don't even know which fuse to check so help and ideas please before I have to endure the dealers sucked teeth and financial thumping!!
Thank you
Nick
