So if you need to update your Mazda Connect firmware for your Mazda Miata and other Mazda connect vehicles this video shows you how to do that process. Updating the Firmware for the CMU in a 2016+ Mazda MX-5. It's the same process for almost all Mazda Connect models. Shows how to do a hash check on the fil.

A look at the most popular models for Aussie mums and dads, not corporate and government fleets.

Mazda’s CX-5 sits at the top of the pile when it comes to mid-sized soft-roaders but the competition is climbing up fast.

Download 2k19 for ppsspp. Consequently, Mazda is looking to extend the CX-5’s reach by fitting all-wheel-drive models with an electronic diff lock and smarter software to improve the SUV’s off-road credentials.

Depressing the “off-road traction assist” button engages the AWD and traction control software to suppress tyre spin and shunt torque to the wheels as required.

If wheel spin is detected — as is usually the case when a CX-5 is balancing on two rims — the rear diff is electronically locked to maximise drive to the rubber still in contact with terra firma.

That’s the headline act for the updates to the 2020 CX-5, though all versions now have autonomous emergency braking with night-time pedestrian detection.

Noise suppression has been improved with a new headlining material claimed to absorb more low-frequency sound and turbo petrol owners gain extra exhaust system muffling and a stronger spare-wheel pan to reduce resonance.

Finally, all petrol variants pick up a steering vibration damper, Maxx versions gain an 8.0-inch infotainment display and paddle-shifters are standard from the Maxx Sport grade up.

They’re small changes for sure, which is why they’re accompanied by small price increases across the range. Front-wheel-drive Maxx vehicles start at $30,980 plus on-road costs (up $100) and the range is headlined by the $51,330 Akera with a 2.2-litre turbo diesel engine, amounting to a $200 rise over 2019 prices.

ON THE ROAD

The Yarra Valley is the perfect place to put a family SUV through its paces … unless it coincides with a coronavirus lockdown. Driving past the car-free carparks of the local wineries is a stark reminder of how small businesses will be struggling right now.

One thing that isn’t struggling is the CX-5. The Akera’s 19-inch wheels provoke a touch of tyre roar over some of the coarse-chip secondary roads but it is barely noticed as it surges through a series of flowing bends.

The CX-5 has always been among the class leaders as an engaging drive in the mid-sized SUV segment and, with the mechanicals untouched, nothing has changed.

It isn’t a sports car but — with our vehicle boasting the 2.5-litre turbo petrol engine — it has the capacity to pretend to be one if the occupants can withstand the extra body roll.

Then we head into the Toolangi State Forest and test the CX-5’s improved off-road prowess.

A quick play on the slippery clay and stone tracks shows the only handicap likely to stop the CX-5 is ground clearance.

Anything short of getting hung up saw the Mazda scrabble its way through ruts and across ridges that would have four-wheel-drive owners reconsidering their route.

VERDICT

Mazda Cx 5 Firmware Download

Four stars

A new button isn’t a big deal … until it comes to bragging rights. Then 2020 CX-5 owners can point to the online videos to show they’re SUV is the real deal, rather than a pure soft-roader. All Mazda needs to do now is built an option pack with alloy skid panels and dual-purpose tyres. Beyond that, the updated CX-5 is virtually identical to its predecessor _ and that’s still high praise.
