For those of you have had this problem... My 2007 CX-7 just started a problem yesterday afternoon: it got the kids and me to the park fine, but two hours later when we left, it was making a baseball-card-in-the-spokes kinda sound (but much louder, of course), especially under harder...

There's a passenger-side full-body shot in the Mazda USA CX-7 photo gallery with the roof rack (and ski rack). Here.

As I was cruising down the highway yesterday (first roadtrip in the CX-7, and it performed very well), I passed a CX-9, and noticed that the roof rack runs front-to-back along the side of the roof, and not side-to-side like on the CX-7. While I think the roof rack on the CX-7 looks fine, I...

OK, I received the replacement unit today, installed it this evening, and... no hum! Excellent! I'll report back if there are any other issues worth noting. I mounted the device with Velcro next to my right knee. A neat touch is that, when the device is on/active, a blue light glows, not...

I have not attached anything powered by the lighter to the RPM link -- the iRiver was running on its own battery power. Further, the hum occurs even when nothing is attached to the RPM device. I contacted RPM about the problem, and the response was that there should be no hum. RPM says it...

Chillum: If you're suggesting that the RS device might help with the hum, I don't think I should be forced to buy something else because the Audio Link isn't well-designed enough to avoid creating the hum in the first place. And if you're suggesting that I should've bought the RS device in the...

Just got mine today, and tore into the dash when I got home to install it. Has anyone else gotten a buzzing sound out of this thing when it's connected and active through the head unit? I ran the connector wire from under the dash next to the driver's right knee (thinking I might attach it to...

Great find, HeavyH2O! Is there any reason two of us CX-7 owners couldn't chip in an buy a pair, and each keep one in his vehicle? (In other words, in addition to getting two headrests, do you also get two sets of whatever wires you need?)

Skepply, you da man! (bowdown) Question: I can't tell from your pictures, but would it have been feasible to put a hole in the bottom of the radio-area so that the device could sit in the "tray" in front of the shifter? (I'd probably use mine to connect my iRiver Clix through the audio jack...
