    Can I program a Smart Key myself?

    $80 brand new advanced key + uncut blank (INCLUDED) for 2013-2015 CX-9 Hi, I think you are right! I wouldn't have believed it but I think the slide out blade black plastic section does have a chip in it! At first, I really thought it was a "dumb" simple key but after trying to program a...

    Power liftgate metal failure

    oil liftgate hinges ? Hi guys, just a thought about the liftgate hinge failures, could it be that the hinges are not lubricated properly, and the linkage mechanism is acting like a "stiff arm" against the trunklid and causing metal fatigue on the link joint ? "Stiff arm" as in like a...

    GPS/clock issue

    Did you try turning OFF "Auto Time Zone" ? I'm not familiar with the 2010 navigation system but I believe if this option is ON it will couple the clock to whatever time zone the GPS signal is, once the GPS signal is lost, it defaults to the original factory time zone, GMT time zone? And thus the...

    On my second CX-9

    Congrats Scorpio69 ! it's good to know a lot of 2007 and 2008 owners have so much confidence in the CX-9 they brought it again, I think your the 4th person on the board that was a previous owner that brought again. I know the dealers are giving out really really good deals right now to clear...

    Replacement Key Fob? 2014 Tourning AWD

    sorry guys, you must have two working advanced keys inside the CX-9 at the same time for the computer to go into programming mode for the third key from eBay. I believe this is not just specific to Mazda but ALL the other car manufacturers require this, so can't blame Mazda. I'm very surprised...

    Is CX-9 2015 reliable?

    you can still see some of the new design elements, I really can't imagine a four banger powering this beast especially loaded with 7 passengers, I'm going to have to test drive it :

    Is CX-9 2015 reliable?

    Some members reported anywhere from $99 to $159 and that's if the dealers are even willing to do it, some dealers flat out deny the service saying it's a sealed unit and oil can't be changed, blah, blah, blah..... BUT here's the good news, it very easy to change the transfer case oil, if you...

    Is CX-9 2015 reliable?

    wow, that's a great deal. Personally, I would go for it. however with the AWD, before you signed on the dotted line, read up on the transfer case sludge issues in our how to forum, make sure you understand you need to change the transfer case oil on a regular basis. Also, you know the...

    What's the name of the plastic cover in the door's lower part?

    "instead of fixing it right someone just slapped the plastic piece back on and didn't bother replacing the broken plastic clips." Agreed, it looks like that's what happened, either got bumped and just slapped it back on, or the previous owner parked right up against a high curb and when he...

    Is CX-9 2015 reliable?

    It's been a pretty darn good car for me so far, 60K no issues except clogged AC drain twice and I have to change transfer case oil on a regular basis. $32K for Grand Touring AWD loaded is a pretty good deal, but when you say "loaded" which package is included in the $32K ? Grand Touring Tech...

    What's the name of the plastic cover in the door's lower part?

    you're very welcome, you can easily install that yourself and save some money, looks like you need 13 total clips (8 on the top row and 5 on the bottom row) first you need to remove the old clips that are still there (I see four), either yank them out slowly or cut them off : then you...

    What's the name of the plastic cover in the door's lower part?

    Mazda calls it "Door Side Moulding" also it's under Garnish (LEFT for driver side) "STONE GUARD & SIDE PROTECTORS" Based on your post, I'm assuming it's for your driver side door plastic panel, Mazda p/n TD1151RB0H, here you go ...

    Jack point for raising up right or left side with one jack?

    I believe original poster's intent is to jack up WHOLE side at once using just one jack , I've never seen that done before. The jack point arrows shown in the owner's manual for the cheapo OEM jack that came with the CX-9 is to jack up one wheel at a time not the whole side of the CX-9. I...

    Replacement Key Fob? 2014 Tourning AWD

    When you mean destroyed, do you mean just the buttons and exterior was damaged but internal IC computer chip is still ok? i.e. can you still start your car with it ? the damaged key just needs to be near the steering wheel (none of the buttons need to be functional). If so, then you're in...

    Need suggestion on overhead blu-ray player

    2007~2015 Changing CX-9 transfer case gear oil (photos)

    Hi kornholio, you're very welcome, I think you'll be ok to change again in May. I went 20,000 miles last time with Royal Purple and oil still looked darn good. Although moving forward, I personally will be changing every 6000 miles at the same time when I change my engine oil as my regular...

    2007~2015 Changing CX-9 transfer case gear oil (photos)

    Excellent, sounds like it went well with no hiccups. Pretty simple right? Might be a good idea to redo the procedure after about 500 miles to get rid of all the residual old oil that the new oil has diluted. Sorry I can't offer any advice on that woo woo sound you mentioned since I haven't...

    2007~2015 Changing CX-9 transfer case gear oil (photos)

    No problem, it's really easy, I foresee no problems. I think the hardest part was getting the plug loose for the first time, the space is really, really tight and you need to reach it from the back around a cross beam with a short stubby 3/8" square drive ratchet, you'll understand when...
