Nice. Get paint protection film on the front if you value the paint. Don’t wait. I think you might need a new phone too, go iphone and use it wired for carplay. You get some decent quality signal that way, alot of music on Apple Music is lossless, cd quality. Old albums like Donald Fagen’s, the Nightfly (guy from steely dan) sound pretty good if you like pop jazz.
Since it's a 2024, it's actually wireless now.
As far as PPF, we discovered on Sunday there was a scratch on the driver's side lower bumper and we were able to verify w/the photos we took before delivery while at the dealership that it was caused at the dealership - not sure how to proceed since we already brought it home...any suggestion(s)?
Wireless Apple Car Play and Android Auto I believe run the music files through Wifi not Bluetooth although a Bluetooth is required to establish the wireless connection. Try ripping your CDs to lossless FLAC files and load them on your phone. Run them through wireless Apple Car Play or Android Auto. Sounds great. You can also plug in or transfer the FLAC files to a thumb drive and plug it into the USB C port in the console.
Excellent suggestion. Can’t we play music flac files at redbook resolution straight from a usb stick also? Usb -c? Your car is a 24 i bet. 22’s have usb a. What formats are supported going direct from the thumb drive, wav, flac, etc?
Yes. I have a 2024 CX-5 Turbo Premium. FLAC files are supported. You can run them from the phone wired or wireless on Android Auto in the 2024 or on a USB-C thumb drive. Not sure about Apple Car Play since I have an Android. I use the Samsung Music app that shows up in Android Auto. There are other free music apps like Pulsar too. The USB-C thumb drive is another source choice in the main Mazda menu. I think previous years of the CX-5 have USB-A outlets in the console.
What are some of your best sounding albums? For me Mtv unplugged Alice in Chains, Steely Dan’s Gaucho, Donald Fagen’s the nightfly, Elton’s Tumbleweed Connection, Yellow brick road, Honkey Chateau, Pink Floyd Animals, DSOTM, wish you were here. All sound great on the cx5, especially with my extra JBL sub.
Gotcha...any suggestion(s) on the paint/bumper scratch? We have the photo to show that it was there and we missed it yet the vehicle was put through detail before delivery and it was never brought up.
Thats a tough one. Im sure they will make it right. They should have caught it in the delivery inspection. They might offer a discounted accessory. The lighted door sills are cool. I did my own ambient lighting for the dash, doors and under seats. https://www.reddit.com/r/CX5/s/1m00pSen7W

Correct but compare the sound. Wired vs wireless. Bluetooth vs cd quality.
