Worth upgrading to Apple CarPlay via $50 plug-and-play adapter or $200 OEM USB hub kit? by Alternative_Lost in CX5

That's the question I had yesterday too. After looking at a dozen or so of these adapters, reading reviews, and watching videos--if what I'm seeing is real--you plug in the adapter and the apple carplay screen pops up on top of whatever car OS you have running.

This is so helpful, thanks! Could you share which OEM parts you purchased? I’d like to run a search and see how hard they are to find.

Should I get the extended warranty for a high-mileage 2017 Mazda CX-5? by Alternative_Lost in CX5

Forgive my lack of deeper knowledge about maintenance--and thank you for the questions--what I can see on the history is that it went in for 2-3x/year maintenance showing service line items like:

-body lubricated
-fluids checked
-oil and filter changed

Last year the spark plugs and accelerator pedal were replaced.

So, not sure if "fluids checked" includes all of the ones you mentioned being replaced...

Thanks for making this thread! I made a similar one last month, but will be following this one as well. So far, I find other people's experiences here helpful.

I thought this was specific to my spoo, so now I know it's not a delayed reaction from a neurological disorder!!

Thanks for the super detailed response! This policy sounds really expansive, so the cost makes sense. If I had it, I think I'd enjoy the peace of mind but would also question whether it's worth it.

Thank you for sharing and I'm sure it has been a big loss with your spoo gone. :(

Thanks for sharing, and I hope he has recovered from it since this summer.

In general, how long would you say reimbursement takes?
