    09 CX9 GT AWD trailer wiring ???

    I ended up tapping into the existing pre-wire harness for the 12V for the mazda 'box'. It looks like a modulite and is probably similar.. I did notice the wire guage is a bit small, but there shouldnt be that many amps going through it. We're only powering a tent trailer lights! I kinda assumed...

    Sirius reception

    My wife's Fusion has sirius and it almost never looses a signal. The cx-9 looses it for a second or two quite often - not a huge deal but still annoying.

    09 CX9 GT AWD trailer wiring ???

    It's a tekonsha P3... According to the instructions - 'STOPLIGHT SWITCH - CONNECT TO COLD SIDE (VOLTAGE ONLY WHEN PEDAL IS PUSHED)' I didnt see any red wires hanging out.... but regardless I wired it up to the green/yelllow wire off the switch... I'd have this done by now but two little ones...

    09 CX9 GT AWD trailer wiring ???

    Question for those that installed a brake controller, I could swear someone said the brake sense wire was red/white, but that wire is 12V hot, and 0 when brake depressed... I'm pretty sure it's the green/yellow which is 0V and then 12V when the brake is depressed.. (cold side of stop switch)

    Smart Key question

    I have 2 smart keys, we wanted to get a 3rd key that would start the car as well.... I could get another smart key off ebay and program it, but its about $100. A normal chipped key looks like about $30, but I wasnt sure if I could re-program it... When we're travelling or camping we like to...

    Smart Key question

    Does anyone know if it's possible to use a regular programmable flip key instead of the smart key? It looks like with 2 smart keys you can program a 3rd smart key, but I wanted to get a regular flip style key off ebay and have that work as well..

    trailer hitch

    I took a quick look at my 09, I can't tell either.. I'll take a closer look tommorow if I get a chance. I double checked the 09 brochure and it says tranny cooler standard.. so theres gotta be something there : )

    09 CX9 GT AWD trailer wiring ???

    Yes, I'm just going to make some jumpers between the two... Now, I found something interesting. The mazda harness I have includes the black box which is identical to the modulite. It needs 12V power to run the lights... On the factory pre-wire connector theres a pin that didnt do anything. So...

    09 CX9 GT AWD trailer wiring ???

    So I was going to post that I had this all figured out, but I got the harness from mazda and went to install it today... Was a little confused when I tried to plug it in and realized that the vehicle pre-wire is a 6 pin female, and the mazda harness is a 6 pin female as well. It has the mazda...

    09 CX9 GT AWD trailer wiring ???

    Hmmm, ok i'm slow (lol) but what you're saying is that even if I have that pigtail connector from Mazda that connects to my pre-wiring, I still need some 'box' (mazda or drawtite) to combine the left/right and brake signals? I just googled and it does appear there are a few little boxes that...

    09 CX9 GT AWD trailer wiring ???

    I got some pics I'll post soon... that part was pretty easy I thought... Just pull out the battery - on that huge firewall grommet is a little nub that sticks out on the top left... poke a hole with something sharp - I used a dental pick. Spray a bit of silicon spray on it, and feed your wires...

    09 CX9 GT AWD trailer wiring ???

    No, its a 6 pin square connector, I'm pretty sure it connects to the harness in that picture that brightwhite is holding... The outputs all seem to be correct though - I tested with a multi meter and checked brake ,turn signals and running lights... I'll get some pics this weekend hopefully...

    09 CX9 GT AWD trailer wiring ???

    Just for information, I pulled out the entire back storage compartment on my 09 CX-9 and the pre-wire cable is taped against another wiring harness on the right hand side kinda below the tail light.. So whats the part # of the pigtail mazda connection in your picture? Its exactly what I need...

    09 CX9 GT AWD trailer wiring ???

    Has anyone else with a 09GT figured this out. We got our CX-9 today but I cant see anywhere that a wire harness connects to. We had the dealer order the hitch cable ($120?) but I'm still not seeing anything under the rear passenger seat to connect it to.... The dealer wasnt too sure about...
