I'm seriously thinking about trading in one of the cars and getting a 2021 CX5 in the spring.

I do have a dumb question about the new version of the Mazda Connect system and radio presets. Do they still have different presets for each radio band, or are they all together now? That was one thing that felt clunky in my 2015 Mazda3 if I remember right. I'd be driving in to Chicago and start my morning with a local FM station out here, then go to CNN on the XM band. At some point I'd switch over to a sports radio station or traffic reports on AM and when I got a bit closer to town would go to a local Chicago FM station. It always felt like a hassle going from one to another. I much prefer the setup in my Sonata where there's one preset list that you can put whatever you want in. AM,FM,XM in any order or combination you want.

 

Hi I am waiting for my MAZDA CONNECTED SERVICES FAQ thread to be approved, and probably this post.

The 2021 Connect system is all new for 2021 CX-5 it is the same system used in all new CX-30 and Mazda 3
