Sorry to hear about your swirls. Generally best to avoid automatic car washes. You might try this: Meguiar's Ultimate Compound. Project Farm (on YouTube) gave this high marks.
For washing at home, I find this works well, especially if you're in a drought-affected area or if you're in direct sun: Optimum No Rinse. You just need a bucket and any type of microfiber cloth (you could probably get 100 at Costco for cheap). If your car is really filthy, a quick rinse before using Optimum can help.
Good luck!
I have a 2017 CX-5 and use a Graco 4Ever DLX. The car seat fits fine both rear facing and forward facing. My son loves it.

Yep. This one specifically:

Pro tip: if you can wait to buy it, wait for Prime Day or Black Friday weekend. We bought three car seats (three parents, three cars) and we saved a TON of money this way.
oh I completely understand, I cant think of anything other than these I personally use a variation of this for my backseats.
I chose a washable cargo liner that I could take to a laundromat with industrial machines: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0721P3D1B/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I bought a Garmin Dash Cam with the widest lens, but the wiring and installation were very difficult as I wanted the wiring to be hidden. My son and husband installed it after following youtube videos.
Lastly, and at a steep price of $600 dollars but in my mind well worth it was a ceramic coating. It will last for a few years.
For the trunk protector this was a little tricky to put in but looks great FHJBP Custom Fit Trunk Cover Mats Cargo Liner for 2016-2022 Mazda CX-5 Back Seats Splitted in 3 Parts - All Weather, 3D Laser Largest Coverage, Waterproof (Black w/Black Stitching) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07P2SY83B/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ZHHRKK3CTHKDGH97BGAT?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
The BeHave Phone Holder is the best so far.
Almost doesn't even matter which brand. And ca you believe that dealers charge $100+ for this
I bought this ECCPP Roof Rack Side Rails... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08KQF2FLD?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
And this
Universal Black Car Cross Bars... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FMVYN8S?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
They work fine and easy install on my ‘18 GT
Might not be the best option but this is what I use since I have two different phones.
I use the magnetic cables for all my devices now since they're fast charge compatible and it saves the port from getting destroyed.
My only gripe is that the swivel cables suck because they can disconnect when swiveling.
As one person already said, get an adapter or try a 2-in1 cable.. something like this may work. RAMOSS 2-in-1 cable

This looks promising, or the proclipusa one
Something like these is what you wanna look for

Got one of these, not a single scratch on the silly piano black since (black version looks classy as well).
Yes, I purchased this one from Amazon and it works perfectly. Been using it for the last 3 weeks in my new CX-5. Weird because the one you linked has a description that is similar to the one I purchased, I'm not sure what firmware it is on.
We have transported a canoe 300km + several times this summer on our CX 5. We tie down on the back using the tie down hooks (little squares in your bumper that pop out) and then bought these marine tie down loops https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01CRBXQUK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_i_VA3AQAJJ4KPGEY2DZPTJ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 that you close into your hood to tie down on the front. We protected the edge of the hood from wear with a strip of electrical tape. Then tie across the middle at each roof rack and you should be good to go.
This Beerte holder works well for my 2020. I have my Pixel 3XL in a case with the slim metal disc inside of the case. The magnetic adhesion is strong even through the case and I haven't had any problems with the phone falling.
Good luck!
Cover it with this. I used it on my motorcycle and well, pretty much anything I don't want to get scratched up over time
I really didn't replace anything, just added this powered sub (below) and disconnected the tiny Bose sub in the spare tire. It made a world of difference and hits a lot harder than I was expecting it to. I'm really happy with it.

aha nice. Also, looks like they are using your picture for their store now: https://www.amazon.com/Titopena-Black-Luggage-Baggage-Mazda/dp/B08R5Y9YQQ/ref=sr_1_11?dchild=1&keywords=roof+rails+for+mazda+cx5&qid=1620748973&sr=8-11
I have a 2021 CX-5 and I bought these for my cabin lights. The install was fairly easy, just make sure you have plastic pry tools to remove the clear light covers.
Does it only happen when your phone is also plugged in and charging?
If so it's a type of ground loop, and something like this might help you out.
Here they are https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07W77GWD4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_HACZW86YNT5CD3RKFVC5
Also, I had them installed at Best Buy, where they soldiered them up to the existing lights. But it's actually a really easy install I could have done myself.
I actually got these in silver. Then I truck bed lined them because the black ones were sold out and gave them some added protection.
I just did it last night on my 2018 GT. Not thrilled with it but it works. There’s tiny mount holes on the front I just used a teeny little drill bit on one of the middle holes and this kit: Trunknets Inc Universal Front... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RIVG814?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I’ve got this. I’ve mounted the back to the inside of the rear hatch, the cables not long enough to get to the outside. And the power is obvs a bit of a chore. But, looks good.

I use this magnetic mount: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GNFRC6X/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I installed this one myself - VIOFO A129 Pro Duo - in 2019 CX-5 GTR
Very easy to install. You run the wire from the back tot he front under the door panels which simply pop out and click back in.
I also got the kit to tap into the power in the rear view mirror which was about as easy as it gets.

Works perfectly with my 2020 GTR.

This is the phone holder that I got. Doesn't block the air vents, and I'm very satisfied with it.
Probably looks like this. Amazon wants to sell you a ton of them tho.

(hopefully op sees this as well) there are two ways of doing it.
Cost: (~$10-15) Either buying some vinyl and first taking some paper to trace the shape/dimensions of the gear cover then tracing that paper shape onto the vinyl and cutting it to size and applying it over the cover (use a heatgun or a hair dryer to smooth out the corners and any bubbles). Alternatively in this method, pop off the plastics like you would for installing AndroidAuto/CarPlay to get access to the gear piece to easier apply the vinyl onto then reassemble. (Do this only if you know what you're doing)
Cost: (~$25+) go onto amazon and just buy a plastic cover (something like this). Peel off the tape and plop it on.
