    Blackout Window Tint Safe?

    In my state, 35% tint for a 27% total transmission (factoring in the factory tint) is the lowest legal limit. It's what I've always run, looks great, and with a QUALITY IR rejecting tint, it's the only thing that's truly needed. The reason I stick with legal is twofold. 1. I do like to be able...

    What have you done to your CX-9 today?

    First oil change today. Just about to hit 25,000 miles, and I do it every 5k, so that makes remembering easy. Used the OEM filters with the double stripe, because that's specifically what Mazda says to use, and Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5W-30. I always rotate the tires at the same time (I mean...

    CX-9 Pioneer 3800 and Maestro Upgrade

    Maestro's website says that it can change the vehicle settings and do the backup cam, so you should be good to go. Contact them directly and verify. They are super helpful. For what it's worth, Crutchfield said that the Maestro RR wasn't compatible with my CX-5 at all, which was completely...

    Any thoughts on Car Covers?

    Get the Mazda OEM one because they actually fit. I bought a generic for my Porsche, and yeah, it worked, but man, it was a pain to take on and off because instead of actually fitting the car, it was just a big blob. Bit the bullet and got the factory one, and it's night and day in ease of use...

    Your Best Defensive Driving Tips?

    Do yourself a HUGE favor, and take the Motorcycle Safety Fundamentals course. They are generally available at most community colleges and many H-D dealerships. Yes, it's motorcycle focused, but you'll learn so, so much about how to simply survive going down the road. And you don't have to have...

    Question for those who called Mazda to deactivate TCU

    I'm so glad I'm reading this. I'm calling them today to deactivate it. 3 Cars ago I got the wife a Saturn Vue because it was literally the cheapest SUV under 100k miles in our area. It had OnStar, and like some others here, I actually read the terms and conditions and found out that even if you...

    That's normal. Set it to average instead of current and it won't move like that

    What have you done to your CX-9 today?

    CX-5 Trailer brake controller installation help

    Tekonsha makes about the best brake controllers you can buy. I have the P2 on my Silverado and am very happy with it. But, like @Sig cx-5 pointed out, it's kinda redundant to put a trailer braking system on a CX-5. I get going up and down mountains, and that's certainly valid, but please, don't...

    Need info on adding aftermarket amp to a 2021 CX-9

    What I'm specifically looking for is a T-harness like PAC makes for the older Mazdas, ie the AOEM-MAZ2. I have the standard non-Bose stereo. Has no one come up with an interface harness yet? Can I cut the factory harness? Yeah. Crutchfield gave some good info as to what wire does what. But I...
