    Anyone using a wireless phone stream dongle?

    I previously used the Motorola MA1. It worked great for about 2 years until my phone began disconnecting randomly. I'm not sure if the MA1 was beginning to malfunction or if a phone firmware update caused the issue. I replaced it with the AAWireless TWO. So far so good. Both on Amazon...

    2016~2023 Question about CX-9 active shutter grille

    I have apparently asked this question before. Getting old and forgetful sucks. :LOL: Discussion here.

    2016~2023 Question about CX-9 active shutter grille

    For those with a 2016-2023 CX-9, have you noticed if the shutter in front is open or closed when the vehicle is off? I am not sure what the default position should be nor have I ever seen them closed - they've always been open. I am under the impression that they should be closed by default and...

    Need help with AC heater flap door actuator install (2016 CX-9)

    Hard to say as I've never pulled the actuator out before. Have a look at the online repair manual here. That's where I grabbed the photo I posted above - you may find more useful info there. The site is aimed at the Australian RHD market but the info is virtually identical for LHD. Good luck!

    2022 CX-9 Headlight Issues?

    Eric, I have a '21 and the headlights work perfectly fine. I'm not sure if the "flickering" you're referring to is in terms of light output - it's constant. What I DID notice however is when going over hard bumps or pot holes, the lights sometimes shudder as a result of the impact but it's...

    2016 CX-9 Power Liftgate Module Replacement

    It most likely is on the same side. Car manufacturers will only make the necessary changes to their vehicles to accommodate LHD and RHD markets. All else should be the same to minimize manufacturing costs. And maximize profit. 😁 Best of luck with the repair and let us know how it goes!

    2016 CX-9 Power Liftgate Module Replacement

    "What does "right-hand drive" mean?" Steering wheel is on the right. 😊 You may want to bookmark the site as it seems to be a complete service manual for the TC body (2016-2023 CX-9). Although the site is based in Australia - and therefore right-hand drive - most, if not all items apply to the...

    What have you done to your CX-9 today?

    If/when you decide to remove it and do so successfully, kindly post your method. I would like to strip the stuff clean off my car's trim. Thanks! 👍

    What have you done to your CX-9 today?

    sm1ke, You did nothing wrong. Cerakote Trim is a sketchy product , as others have said online. I've made the mistake of using it on my other vehicle a while back and although it seemed okay - though not perfectly even despite meticulously applying it - the worst part came afterwards. Having...

    Recommended cargo floor cover/mat? 2021 CX-9

    I buy Weathertech mats for my vehicles and have always been very satisfied with the quality. They're not exactly the cheapest but you do get what you pay for. If you want a more rubbery feel however, Weathertech may still not meet your needs. The texture is somewhere between soft and hard...

    2021 CX-9 Carbon doesn’t have the ability to roll down all windows?

    '21 Carbon here - no combination of button presses works. Never worked before but I though I'd try again using hw4ng3r's sequence, still nothing. hw4ng3r, I hate you. lol. 😆

    What have you done to your CX-9 today?

    Check out Rvinyl - I've purchased several kits from them already and I'm very happy with the quality of their products. Their CX-9 kit includes everything to cover areas that will attract fingerprints. Their kit often includes enough pieces for TWO installations - I guess meant to make use of...
