Found this little trick by mistake on my 2015 CX5. You can use the voice prompt to "turn on audio" but you can not turn it off. I mistakenly said, "Change mode turn off audio" and it worked!
I was not getting iPhone text messages with my CX-5 until I saw your video. Thank you for posting this.
Tip 1.
Always make sure your oil is clean and fresh.
Variable timing valve Will go shizzz if you dont change enough!
A Mazda needs good lubrication, and cannot function with a dirty inside!
#16 How to roll down windows.
Press the window down button.
Although how to roll down and close your windows from your key when accessing or leaving the vehicle. NOT FOUND. 99.9 % of cars in this price range has got this option. Or locking your doors before you close them. Nah they all have to be closed. Or wannna know what radio station u r on while using sat nav? Fuck you change the Nav to media instead.
Sorry for this salty comment.
@@ziemas93 not on my 08' Mazda6.
I can lock the door with the button before I close it.
@@ziemas93 You could put the windows down on your '07-'15(?) *(def can on the '08-'12 models) CX-9 ! And here's a GOOD one---> (2006) Mazdaspeed6... you could open AND close all the windows (and moonroof if equipped) with the key fob.
This is a great video. Thank you. I bought a CX-9 last week and just finished reading the manual. I discovered a handful of interesting features that I wouldn't have found if I hadn't read the manual, and I was going to make a short video about them. A few of the same things are here. Thanks again.
# 14b, double click the door button to unlock all doors. Basically click again in less than 2 seconds of the first click. This works better for me because I don't have to worry about all doors getting unlocked with a single click every time.
The cluster dimmer also affects the infotainment screen brightness night mode...all the way right keeps everything at the brightest setting...1 click left allows the infotainment screen to dim when the lights are turned on
Let me tell u an advance tips:
If your mazda connect system freeze, you can hold down NAV, FAV and MUTE button for 20 sec to force reboot the system. it will NOT affect your driving
What do you press if you don't have MUTE... because of Bose system? I've tried VOL DOWN, but it does nothing...
AlbicelesteLeo isnt it mute by pressing down on the smaller volume knob next to command knob?
The display unit for the 2017 mazda 6 needs a recall. My display unit just stop working. I had it checked out and they said I needed a new one. Its not covered because I have gone over 36,000 miles. I did some research and they have issues with the display unit before. They need to do the right thing and do a recall and replace the units. I don't have 1500.00 dollars to replace.
Hey Dave! Thank you for this! Instead of getting mad at my car 🙄, it always helps to read the instruction manual, eh? 😆
Thanks Mazda Dave I would've never found any of these on my own, I literally have been driving with frosted over side view mirrors for the last 3 years!
Is there a way to see the speed digitally on the grand touring? I've tried switching through the info button on the steering wheel but nothing comes up. Thanks!
Very, very helpful. Thank you.
Thank you. That was very informative. And what a nice pace and tone of voice you displayed.
These are really good tips -
Thanks for doing this; you did a helpful thing
Thank you, I have a 2018 CX5 Grand Touring and never knew how to turn on the heated mirrors, but I live in central Arizona, so chances are I'll never use it. Still, it's nice to know! I also enjoyed your other tips!
That was great. So many hidden tricks I didn't know about. Thank you.
WOW! Mazda Dave, I bought my 2015 Mazda 3 touring New and I love it... especially the Boe speakers! But your video is just so awesome. What a treasure of usable knowledge. I only use full synthetic oil, and my Mazda dealership doesn't like to put an oil change sticker for over 5,000 miles. Synthetic is a solid 7-8,000 miles. Now I was able to change the reminder time. I now have it set at 7,500. So thank you 😊
Nice! So much I didn't know.
Useful, thank you and well done!
Wow. Good tips. Thanks!
Is the media button on the cx 7 just for cars equiped with 6 CD charger? Thanks I have an 08
Thinking about a Mazda 3 in 2019. A hatch. These tips add intrest in the brand for me. Cool.
That infotainment is even more capable and cleaner. For example it can play flac files.
Very useful information.... Thanks and great review
I appreciate the video, still trying to figure out my 2020 mx-5
Thanks for your video Mazda Dave i have madza cx3 (2017) my request switch does not work only in cold mornings the rest of the day works fine any advice or tips what to do ???
Very useful. I own 2018 cx5 and i got remote start. But to ignite the vehicle, it honks three times. Can I get rid of that sound? Caude i start workin at 6 50 and i dont want to wake up anybody because of that thank you
Ruff crowd below....This will come in handy for me, never had a Mazda before.
The kickdown switch activation is supposedly a pretty violent "kick", right??? On a couple instances recently, I got pissed off & FLOORED my 2016 6 & initially after a couple seconds' resistance, I felt a pretty massive kick or knock underneath... it felt similar, if not even more force than an occasional 1st/2nd gear misshift from my previous car that I owned for years (a 15 y/o GM product)...
Long story short, was that the kickdown switch doing its job? Or did I just prematurely RUIN my car (say, the transmission) despite there still being under 35k miles on the clock?
Thank you so much!!! Super useful and well made, no extra time spend on stuff I don’t care about 😂
@Yos Push the start button with the tip of the fob. (Pretend the fob is your finger)
Great video! Much appreciated.
Do you know how to take apart a Mazda key, as my key casing is broken, unfortunately it’s not the part you remove to change the battery, it’s the casing connected to the four buttons
How can I get a transmission conversion kit so I can check my oil myself. And not have to go to mazda so they can check it on a lift.On s 2016 Mazda 6
Buying an old Mazda tomorrow so subbed u may be handy 😁
Thank you for the fantastic, quick, and useful information! This video is done so well!!!!
Do you need to rest TPMS often? I always have it on but I don't want it to get tired.
Awesome, thanks so much.
Good tips thank's
Had my car for 4 months before realising today I could get texts on screen. Cheers!
Thank you, Dave. I have a new CX-5 (6 days old!) and this was a great video to highlight some fun facts.
Cheers m8 appreciate your help 👍
I retired and bought a 2017 mazda 6. Mainly because of the display unit. Fast forward 3 years and the display unit doesn't work anymore. I have over 36,000 so its not covered. Replacement cost $1500. There needs to be a recall on this unit. Mazda has totally let me down.
Is there a way to stop the sat nav audio shifting the radio audio to the passenger side speaker?
Don't reset your tire pressure monitor unless you know there's no problem. It could go off because you just had the tires rotated. It could also go off because a tire has a leak. Both have happened to me.
A tip that I don't recommend using...
How to turn off your engine without turning off the infotainment system. Keep your foot on the brake pedal with the transmission in Drive or Neutral (rather than Park) and press the Start button to turn only the engine off. You can then shift into Park. This is dangerous to do as, if your foot comes off the brake, you could end up moving with little to no steering. Use the parking break as well if you're going to do this.
Reset you say.
BUT in the video i read: HOW TO REST TPMS
Joke obviously.
But it is funny that the very first title is already spelled wrong.
And yes, i think what you said should be obvious to those driving on the road.
If it is not obvious, they should not drive on the roads.
Because, tires are the only contact between you and the road.
So you might actually wanna spend time checking them every trip you take.
It costs 10 seconds per tire, plus perhaps 20 seconds walking around. This means it takes roughly a minute to check all 4 tires if they are in good condition.
Sure, if you want to expect them thoroughly for nails or damage, it takes a bit more time.
But i don't consider this to be necessary every trip. A global inspection every trip should catch real problems, like a flat or missing bolt.
But yeah, to be honest: People should know this already.
If someone is actually concerned about getting from a to b as safely as possible, then this should not be an issue.
And so, it really is troublesome to see that nobody seems to care anymore.
Meanwhile a lot of people also complain about prices going up and what not.
The world is becoming a very funny place.
Mass killings everywhere. Dips who believe in making the world a better place while accepting manufacturers to produce their stuff in countries that are basically factories full of cheap labor slaves.
Etc etc.
O so funny.
And these same knobheads talk about the environment and global warming and what have you.
SO funny how the lemmings stay in line, no matter what hurdle or wall they put up.
Even if they point an 18 inch cannon straight up your face, you will still say: Yes, yes, great stuff. I love it. Wonderful technology. Look, i can press this button and the hood pops open. O wait, hmm, why is it not working. O yeah, i forgot...... the button has a lifespan of just 25. You press it 25 times and afterwards you have to pay for it to work, just like the GPS data in the VW car which was hijacked and had a toddler inside.
When police wanted to get information where it was, VW said they should first pay the fee for subscription to this wonder of technology so that they could give information on where the vehicle was.
Check Louis Rossman's channel on youtube. He can tell it better than i can, in full detail with all the articles linked.
Great guy, Louis.
There is a way easier way then doing drive neutral. Turn the car off in park while holding the shift button.
great video!
“Ounce for on.”
Very useful tips in a compact video. I’ve read the manual but didn’t recall half of these items.
very helpful for an old lady with a new car with lots of technology,.
Thanks for the tips but I hated the zooming that you did on some of the video slides.
Hi Mazda Dave, I've had my Mazda from new for almost 3 years and since I've had it my sat nav keeps taking me in the wrong direction so much so that I have to use my phone. I'm very very disappointed with this navigation system and based on this I wouldn't recommend these cars to anyone. I've reported to the mazda dealers where I purchased it but they said they can't find a fault on the day the car was being serviced and that I should do an upgrade. I've done an upgrade either right or wrong and it still takes me in the wrong direction. I'm sick of it.
Talk to your dealer, they replaced the unit when mine wanted me to do donuts
Thanks for the info! I'm trying to figure out how to get my '16 Mazda3 grand touring to NOT automatically start playing my bluetooth-audio-connected iPhone every time I start the engine...anyone have any tips on this?
Each time you start the car, the system is going to pick up where it left off. If you were playing the radio, the radio should come on. If you were listening to something on your phone, it's going to try to connect to your phone.
What's fun with mine is that I have to turn up the car volume to listen to anything from my phone. Get in the car later and either don't have anything geared up to play or have my bluetooth turned off, it switches to the radio and scares the crap out of me at the high volume.
In other words, if you don't want the car to stream from your phone, switch to the radio when you stop the car. If you simply totally shut down whatever was streaming on your phone or turn bluetooth off, the car will still try to connect to your phone before switching over to the radio.
2 points worth noting... #1, there is no #3 in your list. #2, for the on screen test, you say "once", but the screen says "ounce"... you mean the first.
Nice. Useful simple summary of features we seldom read far enough into the manual to learn. I picked up a few things I did not know about. Thanks.
Thanks Dave, just got a new CX5d. Any tips for the diesel?
Honestly, the tips should be universal. I can not think of any specific tips for the diesel.
Oh my god, I drove 2 new Mazda’s and my biggest complaint was the gas pedal, it felt like it was broken at full throttle. The dealer people had no idea what or why!!!!!!
The only thing you have incorrect there is the ignition button cycling.it is press once for accessory plus a second time for full on and then a third time for off again.
You had mistakenly said press once for fall on us again for accessory press 3 for off again. Your step 1 and step 2 are reversed as you hadn't said that.
My active driving display stopped working there’s no data. Please help. It’s a Mazda 3 grand touring 2017 hatchback
Very informative thank you
Hi Dave, do you have instructions for replacing the switch unit , when your push button ignition
no longer turns off completely?
Dave the 2019 cx5,How do you lift the tailgate without turning off the engine?
You need to make sure the CX-5 is fully unlocked using the door controls. Or use the liftgate button on the low left of the dash.
Hope this helps and solves your issue.
did you know you can make a mazda cx-5 do a 6-2 downshift with the pedal click?
Can you please help with how to get the sound system from turning off while at a drive in movie place? So frustrating how it shuts off the sound and have to keep pressing the button every 30 minutes. Will pressing the button twice help with this?
I believe you have to step on the brake or clutch pedal within something like 25 mins to reset the timer or else it'll shutoff at it's timeout
Does anybody know what the solid rectangle with 2 small circles symbol means in the Mazda Navigation? I have asked multiple people at Mazda ever since I bought a Mazda 3 in 2017 and nobody knows what it is. It shows up in Navigation on the side of the screen, then with a navigation pointer on a road. ON my routes, always in the same spots. Not speed cameras or construction (that I can tell). It's a mystery I would like solved. Amazing there is something more comprehensive concerning their nav system.
hi Dave does kick down also work in manual gear Mazda's ? thanks
Great tips! But could you do another video in 2023-2024. There have been lots of changes on newer Mazda's.
When i drive the touch on the screen dont work. Can i change that?
if i turn off traffic alerts on my gps what am i turning off.i cant stand the high accident area alert.it goes on and on. 2020 mazda 6.
Good tips
My 2005 rx8 gt tire pressure sensor keeps blinking I checked the to and it's good but still flashes. How can I reset.
Might be able to do it with a code reader if nothing in the car works or the sensor might be fucked
If it’s blinking it means one of the battery’s in one of the sensors is going out, considering it’s a 2005 and the battery’s start dying at about 6-7 years you probably need new sensors
@@christianrivera991 any way I can just remove a fuse? I don't think I need them anymore.
the button to lock/unlock doors on the trunk is not available for my 2017 Mazda 6 sadly
Thanks!
I recently bought a 2018 Mazda 3-5 with 9,000 miles. Tire Pressure lite showed that the tires were low. Service sta techie checked tire pressure. Altho reading showed recommend 36# he added more air to 41#(he read the min/max # on tires). Then he reset as recommended in this video. I drove home.-tire sensor was no not on (GOOD). Next day tire pressure lite again showing low pressure. What else needs to be checked ? Surely the sensor couldn't be defective with so few miles on a car less than a year old???
The car can either have sensors in each tire or using the ABS sensors ( because a flat tire has a smaller circumference what will be noticed when one tire has a different speed than the others. ) If it has sensors in each tire , read the OBD data whitch tire is faulty, change over e.g. from front to rear and try again. If the problem moves, change tire pressure sensor. If it is from the abs it can be a faulty speed sensor or the power supply to the dignosis computer or the diagnosis computer itself.
Hi Everyone, i need some help. Can somebody Tell me in the lighting settings what the choices are for? Is it exterior or interior lighting? 🤔
Hi
Can you help.
I replace my driver door and the auto folding mirro6 stop working with the key also the indicator light has stopped working with fob . Any help would be appreciated
This video should be called Mazda for Dummies.
I NEEDED this! Our Chevy is an 08, I will be learning stuff this car does for MONTHS lol
i put led lights in for my daytime running lights and they did not work. I put back in my original sylvania lights and the daytime running lights still will not come on. I checked the fuse and the fuse is not blown. any suggestions?
Check the connections make sure nothings loose or that a tab in the connector didnt get broken or that dirt didnt get in there
I bought these from eBay over a year ago any they work great: Xenon White 69-SMD 9005 LED Hi-Beam DRL Kit for Mazda3 Mazda3 Sport Mazda6
Learned some key features without reading the bulky manual-I appreciate it.
#4, one press is ACC, second press for ON - video says the other way around.
Gold, thanks!!!
hello i got some question to ask. last month i change my battery without hook it into some replacement battery. and now my Head unit won't jump into the program.. i can only see Mazda logo for a few minutes and then it turn off. do you know what might be happened with my car? much appreciated for the answer
That is more of a technical issue. I would recommend asking your local Mazda service department.
THX U very MUCH :-)))))
I just got my first Mazda 6 on Thursday how can I pair her to my iPhone to start from my phone? She’s a 2018 Mazda M6G
Sorry, but Mazda6s do not have mazda connected services. You would need to get something third party.
Heh heated mirrors are enabled same way on my 92' xedos 6 :)
How can I change third (right) display gauge, to show car cooling liquid temperature etc..?
If you haven’t figured it out yet, press the info button on the steering wheel. It’ll cycle through the different information screens for that gauge.
@@mazdadave9230 Not really what I meant. Info button cycles through different options.
I have asked about different style of right gauge.
Some are showing temperature bar, whilst some are not, and that's what I wanted to know, if it's possible to change.
Always wondered why I couldn't find a switch to adjust the brightness of the cluster lights. As far as Accessory mode goes and even better option is to hold the shifter button when turning the car off. That leaves it in accessory mode with just the radio and infotainment system on. I find the first press of the start button puts it in this mode but it seems to turn off after 10 or 15 minutes or so.
Great tips! Do you know if there is any way to use apple carplay in the 2016 Mazda CX-5? As far as I can tell, Mazda has been promising this (even for older models) for ages but nothing happens.
I have heard that the new Mazda6 Signature will be the first Mazda to get Apple Car Play and Android Auto. The lower trims and other models will need hardware installed, but I do not know if this is the case for older models.
Mazda Australia (where I live) confirmed that CarPlay and Android Auto will be standard in new models from September and old models will be able to upgrade from around then as well, for a fee. I can't see why the US would be any different.
JFCW Except that it is. Currently they have no plans to do that in the US. At the very least, it's not happening this year.
TGS except that it’s been announced for mid-September in both the 6 and CX-9 in the US! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
In Sweden, Mazda just announced that owners kan upgrade their systems to be able to use Carplay. It costs 3200 SEK (approx 350 USD) to do the upgrade which, according to my dealership, consists of an exchange of some cables and a software update.
that was very interesting.
Thanks.
Can anyone tell me how to stop the bleeper when the tailgate is raised or lowered on a 2018 CX5, its very annoying and not required.
I have gone through the owners manual, and liftgate is mentioned 317 times. I read each paragraph that contains liftgate, and there is no mention of turning off or changing the volume of the beep for the liftgate. After doing some online research, the beep seems to be a safety feature to warn, people who may be around the rear of the vehicle, that the liftgate will be opening or closing.
I hope this helps.
@@mazdadave9230 Thank you. the world has gone health and safety mad. what happened to common sense?
Can you transfer iPhone 10xr contacts phonebook to Mazda 3 Grand Touring Hatchback?
Pressing the request switch on the lift gate doesn't open the doors. It beeps twice but nothing apparent happens. Any ideas?
It only locks the doors. If you have the key fob on you, you should be able to open the gate.
Is there split screen navigation? OR can I listen to radio while I navigate?
I purchased a Mazda 3 less than a week ago, been wading through the manual and too many videos trying to find out how to turn on the Operating System Screen. I am so glad I found this video. I have such a learning curve, given my old car was a 2005. Thank you !
Happy to help
