    2016 CX9 Safety Rating - need urgent help

    I know this thread is a few days old now but I wanted to chime in. I recently traded a Volvo XC60 for the new CX-9 and I am the same as you. I have ALWAYS prioritized crash tests in selecting a vehicle and have passed on vehicles in the past where there wasn't sufficient data to have...

    2016 CX-9 Infotainment System problems - V59 Update

    I just wanted to add, without having any way of knowing what is causing your problem, that hardware problems don't have to be consistent or even reproducible 50% of the time. Hardware is not as simple as the wiring for a switch or light bulb. These are basically small computers. You could have...

    Really want to pull the trigger, but can't

    I had an old 1986 Volvo 760 Turbo which I loved and drove until it started having some serious electrical issues around 2001. It was a great car. When we found ourselves shopping for cars last year I really was interested in Volvo and so I pushed towards the 2015.5 XC60 T5 Platinum thinking...

    Problem with Bose head unit- what options do I have? 2011 model

    If you're considering going aftermarket find a reputable Car Audio install place in the area - Not Best Buy or Car Toys but a place that regularly deals in custom installs and has good reviews on yelp and such. They should be able to help you determine what the problem is as well. It's not...

    Really want to pull the trigger, but can't

    It was a 2015.5 that we had for 1 year and had just under 18k miles. I got $29k on trade though I really hoped for more. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    Infotainment CX-9 All-in-One Tweak?

    Reading through that thread they recommend against Android Auto still. There may also be more steps to go through before it works from reading through the thread. Cool that it works though directly with our system. Thanks for the find!

    Really want to pull the trigger, but can't

    We bought the 2014 Mazda3 when it was brand new for this design and it was the first system with the Mazda Connect Infotainment like we have in the CX-9. It had some bugs similar to what others have posted (I haven't experienced them yet on the CX-9) but Mazda quickly came out with updates and...

    2016 CX-9 Pricing

    Sadly no, but I couldn't justify the extra premium for awd. To the question of after tax, my numbers wouldn't reflect typical because of the trade on the Volvo so I paid about $1800 less tax. Tax is usually 6.25% here and total fees were around $300 I believe. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    2016 CX-9 Pricing

    This thread was incredibly helpful to me in navigating my recent purchase. We already had a 2014 Mazda 3s GT Hatch and A year ago we had an old Mazda CX-7 that was showing its age and was time to be replaced. None of the Mazda SUVs appealed to me at the time so we sprung for a new Volvo XC60...

    Brrrr! How are people keeping their feet warm in a 2014 Mazda 3?

    This doesn't surprise me. I was incredibly well informed about the tech of the car as that really appealed to me so it was something I played with immediately. The salesman at my dealer said it looked like I was more comfortable with it than he was. They really should know better about the hud...

    Seen any other '14 3's on the road?

    Just saw a soul red hatch in my area just like mine. I think it was an iGT by looking at it.

    0-60 MPH time for the 2.5L sedan?

    I have also wondered what impact the sport mode might have on these numbers (if any).

    Anyone know where is ODB port?

    OP, I had the same issue when I first got my MZ3. I was feeling for it and couldn't find it in the usual place. It is under the driver's side but I think its a little more over to the left and up towards the front more than other cars. I had to finally not be lazy and actually stick my head...

    Infotainment System Bugs

    I think I read this on another forum first, but they have another update release in the last week. v27 is now available. I went to the dealer for something else and asked about it and they insisted an update wasn't available. I asked them to double check and they called me later and said sure...
