    Replacement parts at 165,000 miles

    I have had no issues with my CX-9 2011 GT except for window motors failing and battery. I had the spark plugs and coolant changed at 80k and want to have it done again very soon at my local dealer. I don't have enough nerve to do the spark plugs myself. Any common sense additional replacement...

    GF Performance Chip Kit

    Just wondering if anyone has tried this with their CX-9, and if so what were the results. Any other thoughts would be appreciated too. Am I correct that this is really just a resistor that fools out the vehicle's reading to Input Air Temperature sensor? http://www.gfchips.com/mazdacx-9.aspx

    Trailer Hitch Wiring Harness

    So am I correct in thinking that if you have the tow prep package you do not need to run wires back to the battery? Also, is it better to buy the Mazda OEM harness rather than an after market one that would come with the aftermarket hitch?

    Will the SiriusXM radios in the CX-9 be able to receive the new additional channels?

    I'm not really clear if the radio in my new Aug 2011 Mazda CX-9 will be able to get the new "Xtra" channels. The radio is labelled as a SiriusXM model. If it cannot, can it be upgraded with software to version 2.0 to be able to receive them?

    Windshield Scratch Repair

    There was frost on my front windshield a month ago, and I used a plastic scraper which I have used for years on two other vehicles without any issues. I ended up with two minor scrapes on the windshield that have not gone away with cleaning and washing. Has this happened to anyone else? and what...

    Rear Bumper Guard

    Three questions about this rear bumper guard: 1) Is this worth adding to the CX-9, and are there any benefits to it besides apperance? 2) Does it really make the vehicle look that much better? 3) How does it stay on?

    Voice commands are often not understood

    I'd like to know if others have the same problem with using voice commands. Some days my CX-9 does quite well with many of the commands and other days it seems like it cannot understand any of them I say. I would love feedback on how well your vehicle does with them good or bad.
