I have only changed my battery once on my 2018. And that last year. I expect it will last me at least 4 years.

The number of widgets displayed depends on the size of the screen. My 2018 CX-9 shows 1, my BMW shows 2. You can edit which widgets gets shown in your phone settings, but you cannot as far as I know make it show more widgets at once (there is no option that I can see to make it show 2 smaller...

Actually checked the photo on the link you provided and it looks like the left and right catch are different from each other.

You need 2 catch and 2 x trim cover (one for each side, not sure if thebleft and the right are identical or not). They don’t come with the car and should have come in the box with the cargo cover. If it was bought used it is possible they were left in the previous car.

Might be worth looking into replacing the spark plugs, that is about when they are due. Other possible cause could be a stuck brake caliper, although if it was that bad you would probably smell the burnt brake pads. If you are only doing city driving and a lot of idling it could show that...

Width does not affect it. It is because the combination of the wheels diameter (21 inch) + the tire thickness does not equal the same total diameter as the CX-9 20 inch wheels + the CX-9 tire diameter. If wheel and tire combine to be a larger diameter, then the wheel will turn more slowly for...

if you do your speedometer will read low, but not by much. I think you will be driving 1 or 2 mph faster than indicated

According to wheel-size.com The CX-9 20 inch wheels are 8.5J x ET 45 CX-90 21 inch are 9.5J x ET 45 When you compare the wheels the CX-90 rim will stick out 1/2 inch on both side (towards the outside and the inside). That is probably fine but check the clearance on your CX-9. I don’t...

Touch screen with apple carplay for my 2018 CX-9 is only disabled when driving. At low speed or when stopped it works.

Search this forum and you will find a fair amount of user review for that specific tire. (The pirelli scorpions as 3 plus). It is pretty much one of the go to tire on this forum. But i can’t comment on winter performance though, they are still only an all season tire and not really comparable to...

Older models like my 2010 mazda 3 had a cable linking the brakes to the transmission that would seize with corrosion. The fix to replace the cable was fairly cheap. That transmission was the same in many later models. Probably not on the 2nd gen cx-9 but maybe on the first gen.

Many cars have a safety feature that prevents the car from being moved out of park when the brakes are not pressed. What year is your CX-9?

The hybrid CX-70/90 hybrid use a 4 cylinder engine, not the inline 6. It is setup for transverse mounting/ rear wheel drive, but it could potentially be configured differently. It is pretty much the same 2.5L engine with the electric motor replacing the torque converter between the engine and...
