sounds like you have the remote start option installed already.... just need to buy the transmitter fob. "the dipole antenna mounted on the windshield to the right of the rear view mirror" is not standard equipment; it is for the remote start only and installed as an option, there should be...

Wow, really sorry to hear all the bad luck you've had recently, when it rains it pours, at least you're okay. Makes me wonder if those cheap deer whistles really work? I might get some just for piece of mind...

Whoa, thanks for sharing, was there at any time a serious catastrophic condition like rear ending someone or passing the red light into the intersection ? Or just that the brake pedal was very stiff and hard to press down but you were still able to stop like normal ?

Based on the customer reviews about the absolutely disgusting smell of Ford friction modifier on Amazon (check link below and read customer reviews), I am almost certain it was also added into the CX-9 transfer case, this is confirmed by many forum member who already changed the transfer case...

1) for AWD model, be prepared to change the transfer case oil every 15,000 miles even though Mazda says it's a lifetime oil. It's been well documented that the oil capacity is too little and the oil breaks down and starts to leak out of the vent on top of the transfer case. If the oil is not...

Thanks Chris, your can of compressed air trick worked for me too! I heard the dreaded swishing water hitting the fan blades again every time I made a hard left turn, the first time the dealer fixed it for free, I didn't want to be bothered with taking time off work again to fix the...

try something that's not too abrasive first, Meguiars clay bar is what I would try first, should pick up the paint without causing more damage to surrounding clearcoat.

This may be a blessing in disguise since you are covered by your CPO warranty and no out of pocket cost to you. The previous owner probably never ever changed the transfer case oil, and most likely the old transfer case oil turned into sludge causing above normal operating temperatures inside...

I just ran the pump a minute by itself after disengaging the suction tube from the transfer case to flush out any residual oil in the pump line, then left it as is for next time, I didn't see any harm just leaving lubricant as is, since it won't rust or clog up the pump.

***May 2, 2015 update*** switched to an electric sunction pump which makes the job a lot easier and cleaner: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123848368-21-electric-sunction-extractor-transfer-pump-for-transfer-case-oil-changes

hi Voldsom, do you know if this will work with the newer smart keys ? I thought #69 instructions were for 2007-2008 smartcard type keys ? I'm looking to get another extra key since I still have two working keys, thanks in advance

ah, good point chuyler, didn't even cross my mind about the winter vs summer mix. thanks for pointing this out, anyways, car is still running fine after swapping out the oil, even Ford recommends changing the 75W140 oil every 20,000 miles for the Ford Edge which uses the same exact CX-9 AWD...

OK guys, I was getting the tires rotated for free and just checking out the dealer's showroom and saw a brand new black 2015 CX-9 with pinstriping, I'm not a big fan of pinstriping, I like the nice clean smooth look after a good wash and wax but anyways, I looked closer and literally...

poor man's electric Mityvac $21 to suck out old transfer case oil just FYI, I've logged a total of 7,000 miles now since swapping out the original 75W140 fluid with Royal Purple from Amazon like Rowlands57 and still happy to report everything running smoothly with no issues at all and...

Voldsom, yep I have a meteor gray mica 2013

no worries Voldsom, yep, I have the same thing happen to me, you can definitely feel the drop in gear and no registering on the dash

I tried to locate the two front drains in the sunroof just to make sure they weren't clogged and cause damage to the BCM (Body Control Module) located by the driver side pillar. There wasn't any signs of stagnant water in the sunroof tray so I assumed everything was working fine. The only...

Has anyone experience engine braking on the highway when going downhill ? I experienced it today on the highway; there was some traffic at the bottom of a downhill, so I slowed down. Transmission shifted gear from 6th to 5th , then felt the engine braking when going to 5th to 4th gear...

shoot, I really hoped it was as easy as swapping out the BCM module, can it be a faulty Instrument Cluster ? perhaps somehow water got in there and messed up the electrical circuits really bad, check to see if there's any sign of water under the steering column, a used one goes for...
