    Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

    I had mine installed today. I paid $400+tax. It definitely should*ve come this way from the factory. It works well. I really enjoy the functionality with Waze, my go-to nav.

    2018 CX-9 Grand Touring DRL LED ring?

    Confirmed you are all right. Thanks for setting me straight. While I’d rather the lights stay on in park, I’m very glad they are working as designed.
