    Automatic headlights turn on and so does the radio

    auto headlights can be explained by light sensor on dash, as you pull into the darker lit garage the lights will go on, as for the radio, did you have on Pandora, aha or Stitcher, perhaps as you pull into garage , you lost internet connection and it defaults to radio ? just a guess....

    2016 CX-9 Real World MPG

    yep, I disabled the sync of sms and emails on my 2016 CX-5 and no reboots either, knock on wood. I figure it's a small price to pay to have no reboots and I don't need the distraction when driving anyway, I always ignore the text/e-mail notifications anyway.

    just a friendly heads up..... those knife edge sharp points may not hold up well against constant highway winds/buffering..... the adhesive may start wearing out at those sharp points... I might be wrong but just something to think about, Chrome Trims that go around the fog lights

    coding Fog lights?

    so I understand your intent correctly: you want to leave OEM wiring exactly as is but splice in a wire harness using the high beam wiring as a trigger ? this might be possible but kinda risky, not sure what that will do to the electrical system, you're basically suggesting adding a parallel...

    Installed LED fog bezel and LED switchback in 2016 CX-5

    ah, yes, the DRL's I left them as the ugly yellow 9005's , I much prefer LED white for the DRL's but safety trumps vanity and I like the brightness of the OEM high beams in case I need to signal other drivers to let them in during merging or 4 way stops to let them go first or to high...

    coding Fog lights?

    Yes you can with an aftermarket wire harness, you can do whatever you want , you're basically making it stand alone and decoupling it from the car's oem fog wiring circuit. An aftermarket wire harness has a low current signal trigger wire that you hook to any powered circuit ie parking light...

    What is the deal with cargo mats?

    Yeah, it's the one and only time when you have the upper hand on the dealer, if they want to close the deal, ask them for all the freebies. The sales agent I worked with said as long as it doesn't need to go thru service to install I can have it, so I went thru the accessories listed in the...

    Installed LED fog bezel and LED switchback in 2016 CX-5

    Never tried the aftermarket LED type yet, I heard those with the little fans at the back of the bulbs aren't very reliable and when the fans fail the LEDs fail, also the light output isn't as bright as HID but that was a while ago maybe the technology had improved.
