    Year 2 CX-90 changes?

    Yeah, never been a fan of Captain’s Chairs. I find them impractical from a passenger perspective, especially since the CX-90, much like the CX-9, isn’t necessarily the most spacious 3-row SUV. Having even part of the 3rd row up, when there’s 5 passengers, compromises the cargo area that may now...

    Year 2 CX-90 changes?

    I’m a simple guy, so just 2nd-row bench seats for the highest trims. At least, offer it as an option.

    CX-90 PHEV incentive in the U.S.

    Hmmm…outside of Tesla, this would be the 1st time I’ve heard of an MSRP increase in the same model year for a manufacturer. Since the source is a sales manager of a dealership, it maybe a dubious move to get potential buyers to buy now so the monthly sales quotas can be met. It is the end of...

    Anyone riding on 20" CrossClimate2 GT Tires?

    I recently pricematched these Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActive 255/50R20 109H XL at Discount Tires. I paid about $900 including taxes. I just drove it for about 600 miles and can say that it’s much better than the OEM Falkens, IMO. The ride feels more compliant without sacrificing handling and...

    Crap. Apologies, I thought I was in CX-9 forum.

    2.5T Engine Coolant Leaking TSB

    Thanks, guys. I’ll keep an eye out on it, and also have the dealership check on my next oil change.

    2.5T Engine Coolant Leaking TSB

    Our 2019 Signature has approximately 23K miles and I don’t recall having seen a dashboard notification showing anything about the coolant. Has anyone just showed the TSB to the dealership and issue was addressed? Or does the vehicle need to be showing symptoms? The VIN does fall in the list of...

    CX-90 Trim details, Pricing and Fuel economy press release

    Seems like the CX-90 3.3 Turbo S is the only trim with 2nd-row bench, 12.3-inch screen, and 21-inch wheels. Not sure, though, if seats are leather or leatherette. What’s with the fascination on 2nd-row Captain’s chairs?

    2016~2023 Mazda CX-9 Android 10 HU Screen

    Yeah, on the F10, adding it was a no-brainer but not as important on CX-9. Anyway, good luck on the move.

    2016~2023 Mazda CX-9 Android 10 HU Screen

    Since this is likely a derivative of the Android 10 HU that I installed on the F10, I can confidently say that it is a touchscreen. Video streaming is easily added by installing apps. It has 4G support. I added a rear camera on the F10 that connects to the Android HU, and it also had support for...

    2016~2023 Mazda CX-9 Android 10 HU Screen

    Has anyone tried this out on their 2nd gen CX-9? Aside from the CX-9, I also have a 2013 BMW 528i (F10) that came with a 6.5” iDrive infotainment screen and had no CarPlay or AA capability. For the F10, it was a no-brainer to add on so that the vehicle would gain built-in GPS, along with...
