    Hardwire HD Dash Cam on CX-9 2016

    Does that mean this will void the warranty?

    How did you choose your interior color?

    I chose dark because I was afraid of kids ruining the seats...But I would probably have chosen a lighter color otherwise. My wife hates the red interior in the signature, that's one of the reasons why I don't have that one.

    2016 CX-9 Infotainment System problems - V59 Update

    I was one of the ones that had to have the unit replaced. It was definitely hardware related for me. V59 actually made the problem a lot worse for me. It went from one crash to multiple crashes a day (it took a few days for it to manifest). I haven't had any issues since replacing it. My issues...

    2016 CX-9 Infotainment System problems - V59 Update

    Yup. I posted it on the first post with a workaround. They didn't remove the tach, jut the option to disable it. What I did was before getting the update, was to save my settings to the seat memory. [1] without tach [2] with the tach. That way I can turn it on/off. Check both key fob to see if...

    Considering going back to a CX-9

    I have the GT FWD and have no complains on driving or power. I live in SoCal so I drive in hills all the time. MPG is 20.

    2016 CX-9 Infotainment System problems - V59 Update

    Yup. Same issue with me. Called Mazda, got a case number. Went multiple more times to the dealer,even though customer service recommend a hardware swap, Mazda delayed it due to the software change. Finally, once they installed v59 and the issue worsened, they decided to replaced the head unit...

    Specs/Info on 2017 CX-9?

    Have they released the 2017 specs? Do you have a link? In some countries the US 2016 CX-9 is referred to as 2017, just want to make sure you're not referring to the same model.

    2016 CX-9 Infotainment System problems - V59 Update

    What he said... The update will make the black screen worse. What they need to do is a Head Unit replacement. MazdaTech is aware of the issue and they have a procedure to test. They will send a signal and the unit will not respond and instead overheat causing the black screen. I had the same...

    Specs/Info on 2017 CX-9?

    If I had to bet, I would say they will add G-Vectoring.

    2016 CX-9 Infotainment System problems - V59 Update

    Thanks! I was going to do a factory reset, but I guess that won't fix anything.

    Audi Vs Genesis: Whose Grille Is It Anyway? CX-9 looks the best......

    The radome on the Hyundai looks silly. They gotta do away with that plastic on the grill. It's ridiculous. I like the CX-9's grill too, though it's a pain to dry off after a car wash.

    2016 CX-9 Infotainment System problems - V59 Update

    I am not 100% sure if it's new or refurbished. It looks new, it had the plastic on it. It took two weeks to get. The version never changed. What they replaced was the head unit. Apparently there are two parts to the system, the actual system (under the dash) and the head display (what you...

    2016 CX-9 Infotainment System problems - V59 Update

    No apology necessary...you might still be right, it could be a hardware issue. I just had it replaced so haven't really had a chance to test it (i.e. it hasn't blacked out on me yet). The issues I listed above were software related, completely separate from the black screen. I have a video (I...

    2016 CX-9 Infotainment System problems - V59 Update

    Update #2 Edit: I just re-read this and it is confusing. The issues below are software related and not with the new unit. I still haven't seen issues with the new unit because I haven't had the opportunity to drive much. I'll update about the black screen and the new unit in specific later. But...

    Remote Start

    WTF? Had I asked for that and seen it, I would tell them to take it back immediately. That doesn't look good at all!

    LED Headlamps shake

    I noticed that too, but remember, it's an adaptive system, the lights move up/down with speed and side to side when turning. It's find...unless it's shaking uncontrollably, a little bit should be ok.

    The GREAT massive looking 20 wheels are only painted silver!

    Ouch...they usually have a clearcoat installed. I found damange to my rims and had to call a mobile shop. It can cost anywhere from $120-$180 for repairs in CA. He matched the paint, leveled the surface and looks like. It's hard to tell (you have to be looking for it) where the damage was.

    2016 CX-9 Infotainment System problems - V59 Update

    That's odd. I had to sign a paper acknowledging the update. I think when I get my unit replaced, I'll ask them to put V58. V59 sucks!!! Best to go back to Mazda so they deal with it and know that their update is crap.

    2016 CX-9 Infotainment System problems - V59 Update

    I've done that. At one point I even didn't have my phone connected, it still crashed. V59 seems to have made the problem a lot worse.
