FYI ... The very bottom screw looks a lot like the ones that came with the hardware for my cross bars.

I checked the instructions hoping that the bolt size was listed on it but it isn’t. Here’s a link to the instructions. Take a look. Maybe I missed it. https://sep.yimg.com/ty/cdn/yhst-24809172479195/0000-8L-N11.pdf?t=1619726371& Another thought is maybe you can find a parts diagram online...

I’m going to take a guess and say it won’t be compatible. Having come from a 2018 6 with the older system to the newer system in my 2021 CX-9, the displays/menus are optimized for the wider screen. It’s not just graphics, there are subtle difference in menu options as well that may or may...

I have a 2021 CX-9 Grand Touring. It has one of the updated infotainment systems. It has the newer wide screen, updated menus, and graphics. It has a factory wireless charging pad in the cubby just ahead of the shifter. But it doesn’t have the updated volume knob - I believe on the new 3...

After seeing wireless dongle adapters discussed here and on other forums, I decided to bite the bullet and try one. I went with the Carlinkit 2.0. Here’s their website but i purchased it on Amazon since I already have payment info set up there and Prime free shipping. Inititally, my...

I’ve seen the dongles and they seem to work well. How do you like yours?

My 2021 GT with factory Navi seems to be working ok. The icon is always pointing “up” and the map rotates around it. I’ll try to remember to check the settings tomorrow to see if anything jumps out at me.

Out of curiosity, try to reprogram the lift height to different positions. Does it open partially every time? Or only when it’s programmed to fully open. To reprogram, lower the lift gate by hand to a position. Press and hold the close button in the lift gate until it beeps. Close and open...

Paid closer attention to this today because of this thread. Noticed it only does it in “partial speedo” mode. If it’s the full needle display, the numbers don’t grey out. Makes sense...In the partial mode the extra emphasis definitely helps.

With more and more manufacturers replacing analog gauges with LCD screens, every brand has their own take on the graphics. I’ve seen some with a 3-D look and others that will change the font and color depending on the drive modes. Mazda’s more subtle approach here is to highlight the numbers...

Nice job on the rear cargo lighting. I really like that. What bulbs did you use for the turn signals?

Just a quick follow up… My intentions were to also mount a roof basket and share pictures of that but it didn’t work out. It was a “Haul Master” basket, not too big (46x36x4), big enough for our soft carrier and a small container or two. The issue was that the mounting brackets didn‘t line up...

I posted this in another thread and wanted to separate out into the Accessories Forum too... Installed the OEM cross rails this past weekend. I purchase them through Mazda Swag online. They’ve been great to deal with. Even with shipping they were cheaper than picking up locally. My...

I installed the cross bars and it was tedious because of the position of the Torx screws but the screws engaged positively and did not feel as if they were cross threading. If you have a swivel socket for the bit, it will be much easier to try backing them out rather than using an Allen...

Dealership service/sales varies wildly from place to place. I’ve had good and horrible experience at Honda, Audi, VW...Fortunately the 3 or 4 Mazda dealerships I’ve been to have all been at least decent to the current one being stellar. We had one small issue at the Lexus service department...

Installed the OEM cross rails this past weekend. Installation wasn’t difficult but tightening the Torx screws was tedious because they’re tucked down low. Of course I didn’t fully read the instructions and if I did, I would have seen they recommended using a swivel socket with a Torx bit...
