- In this video we replace the screen in our 2018 Mazda CX-5. We were having issues with "ghost touches" or "phantom touches". The screen was acting as if we were randomly touching it. We show how we fixed it.
The link to the screen we used is below.

Dooood….. thank you for the vid! I bought a used 2018 cx-5 4 years ago, and had the dealer install car play. The ghost touch issues started about 2 years ago, and it was really bad when the car had been sitting in the sun. Never any issues in cold or darkness. Bought the same kit off Amazon that you had. No more ghost touch and everything is working flawlessly. A little scary but thanks to your video I had the confidence to tackle this!!!!
Would you have the link for the Amazon kit?

Can NOT thank you enough. I replaced my daughter’s 2019 cx5 screen solely following your lead. You and your wife are the best!
Heck yeah!!! You are very welcome. I'm glad it helped.
absolutely spot on process from beginning to end. I had the exact same experience ordering what I thought was the whole screen housing and only getting the raw screen and metal box backing with the computer strip connectors. Your advice was perfect. Many, many thanks.
Great work! One tip for the next time you need to remove adhesive screen bezels is to use heat. For small, movable parts I like to use a small heating pad set to high and just set the area to be heated on it with a bit of weight over the top and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. It really softens the adhesive up so you can get in there with a spudger. If you're working on something bigger, a hair dryer works too but you need to take care to heat things evenly.
Thanks! That's a great tip. That's what I have done in the past on phones. I SHOULD have done it with this too. It would have been so much easier.
@@MaqsVids Yep! Definitely worth the trouble and the wait. I've taken apart a few MacBooks over the years replacing screens and back before they shrunk down the borders around the screens, they had a tendency to use adhesive around the monitor bezels. Terrible combo of visible, flexible, and fragile. Heat made it not so terrible to work on.
Thank you for the video. I bought a new cx-5 in 2019. This just started happening 6 months ago. So annoying! :(
super helpful walk thru. I was able to follow along and replace my screen no issues!! Thanks so much
@@RaffiBoloyan heck yeah!!! You are very welcome!
I think I held my breath through the whole video. I always get nervous with removing trim because I always break just about every single tab.
You and me both. 😂Newer cars are a lot better but I never have that kind of luck with my older cars.
Awesome! Your direction was spot on! Had the screen replaced in an hour. Thanks so much for a great video!
Thank you doing mine this weekend. Im not paying a dealer 1200 when I can just disconnect the touch feature. We never use it anyway. Appreciate the knowledge.
Look at team Mr. & Mrs. Marq Mazda do the thing!!! Nice job 👍🏿
🤔😁 I love it! I'm going to show my wife. Maybe she will want to work on other things. Thanks and have a good week
Thanks for this video watching this and digitizer alone replacement made me get full touch screen like you did. On 2017+ digitizer is too glued on and takes Lotta work. It's a $30 Part but lots of time removing and cleaning when $30 more you can get entire panel like in video. Ebay $75. Thanks for this saved me ton of time on digitizer removal and cleaning. I'd watched 2016 digitizer replacement and it's much less work (except bezel) so can get away with digitizer. But 2017+ your gonna be spending time! Not to mention touch sensitivity wont be as good not glued like factory. Best option (if you want to keep touch) is full panel like in this video!
You can replace the box in the center stowage bin and get apple carplay or android auto.
@@JstJensen YES!! That's what I wanted to do! But we have to upgrade the firmware in our system to accept. My wife didn't care to do it so we didn't include it. I'm excited for it too.
@@MaqsVids I have done it and it is well worth it! I just replaced our screen a few days ago as the OEM screen was getting harder to see with the 'pocking' that happens. (not sure exactly what to call it.) MAZDA will upgrade it for free if you take it to a dealership. The OEM Hub is easy to install.
Can you retro fit the 2023 10.25 inch screen to the 2019 screen?
Nice man thanks! I'm wondering if I should do it. I'll save $200. I don't want to screw up the dashboard though
I have a 2020...the ghosting actions are getting worse AND the screen is a total mess. I've only used Windex on it but it looks like something is smeared all over it. I'd love to replace mine. I'm wondering if it would be the same on a 2020? Either way, great video and thank you for doing this. I heard that the Mazda dealership charges $1500 for this.
The process should be almost identical. But, I believe the later years have a larger screen. Whatever you do decide to do, good luck!
nice video! However, I'd say the OEM screen looks better, since it doesn't have the silver rectangle when the screen is off vs the aftermarket one. OEM screen also has thicker glass cover as well. I've been trying to find replacement screens for my CX-5 as well, but it seems like they all have silver interior for the LCD (i.e. no OEM all after market) :(
Thanks for creating this video. Do you happen to have a link and/or part number for the replacement screen?
Thanks. The link is below and I'll put it in the descriptionm. This is the one we ordered.

I've done the replacement and now my Mazda says I don't have navigation. Did I make a mistake?
I wish I knew. Ours doesn't have navigation. I imagine a plug is disconnected. But I don't know what could cause that.
id the replacement screen still working?
Yes it is. We've had zero issues since replacing it.
@@MaqsVidsawesome, thanks. I have to do the repair to my wife's cx5, it's driving her crazy lol.
im curious why you didn't decide to upgrade to a more modern after market unit?
It's my wife's and she doesn't care. She just wanted the phantom touches to stop. I did get the module that allows carplay and Android auto though. I haven't been motivated to install it yet because she is perfectly happy with it the way it is. It was more a curiosity of mine.
@@MaqsVids Wired or wireless carplay? and which module allows carplay the new screen you installed or the usb hub upgrade?
You don't happen to live near New Orleans, hugh? I need this done, but I don't feel confident I could do w/o breaking something. And I'm not exactly interested in forking over probably, $1,000 (?) to a mechanic.
Very disappointing that they make you do the adhesive nonsense at 8 minutes rather than just including the plastic bezel in the kit. Absurd.
I imagine you can buy the plastic bezel or find kits that include it. I wish I had paid more attention and found one myself.
Nice car
