    Outsourcing Parts?

    Does anyone know if the current, non-Ford Mazdas contain any outsourced parts that are in the main components like engine, drivetrain, frame, electric system, etc? If so, where are they made? Again, this applies to the newer Mazda models only. I know certain plastic pieces and other accessory...

    2016 at dealership - 2017 loaner

    I had a 2013 Rav4 Limited and grew to really dislike it. After getting hit from behind in traffic, (10k in damage) it had to go. I traded for a 2018 CX-9. My apologies for I know my post is off topic. I just wanted you know that I didn't like my Rav4 either... and it wasn't for lack of trying...

    What have you done to your CX-9 today?

    I'd like an armrest organizer; it's looking like a junk drawer in there. Lol

    Looking at the CX-9 from the other side?

    These are some funny ass posts. It's become the written expression of "challenge pissing." Thanks for the entertainment fellas, great thread! (popcorn)

    Looking at the CX-9 from the other side?

    I thoroughly test drove a Sorento. I was surprised... It handled and accelerated better than I thought! I remember it having a nice techno rig, comfortable driver seat and not so comfy rear seat. At that time, I think the third row was optional. The CX-9 and Sorento are different animals...

    MirrorTap for 2018 CX9 GT help?

    Ok, now I see. The pic you posted shows the harness upside down relative to how it snaps into the mirror. Ours are the same!

    MirrorTap for 2018 CX9 GT help?

    Hey Bluechip, I'm wondering if the Signature and the GT have different wiring harnesses. In mine, both ground and hot sockets (hole 3 and 4 from l to r) already have a wire in them, none are empty.

    MirrorTap for 2018 CX9 GT help?

    Many thanks sm1ke! Thats a lot of steps. I'll try to post a pic soon when I get back to the desktop. Other forums I've been in were much easier to attach photos.

    MirrorTap for 2018 CX9 GT help?

    Evidently Bluechip, I'm too stoopid to post a simple iPhone photo in the forum, even after uploading it to the site, so.... With the rear view harness plugged in and looking at the back of the mirror from L to R, - The middle (3rd) hole with the black wire is where the black MirrorTap lead...

    MirrorTap for 2018 CX9 GT help?

    I have a 2018 CX-9. In the rearview mirror harness the black center wire is ground and the correct hot wire is the striped one right next to it. With this configuation, the radar detector comes on only when the car starts. Reason I mention this, there's another striped color wire in the...

    First Mazda, considering new CX-9, need your input.

    I'm new to Mazda and the CX-9. After years of an allegience to Toyota, (I owned 9) I've never been happier than right now. With it's superb handling, safety features, (including the Volvo-esque engine down, passenger compartment up in a head on collision) rockin' turbo, luxury Signature...

    Fed up with my new car

    Emil, I read your Google review and that, my friend, sounds frustrating. As big of a pain in the ass as this is, please try to remember this is a temporary issue. You won't be dealing with this forever. I know, easier said than done. With 112 Google dealer reviews, 2.5 stars kinda sucks. The...

    2017 CX-9 Signature, Vibration on Highway when 65 mph+

    Falkens. I took the CX-9 on the interstate today, no vibration. I'm thinking what this may be is a pavement issue. Nashville gets a massive amount of semi truck traffic. As you know, this is great for road surfaces, NOT.

    2017 CX-9 Signature, Vibration on Highway when 65 mph+

    I know exactly what you're talking about. I've now got just over 1k miles on my 2018 Signature. The vibration is very slight, almost like a road surface issue. It seems to occur between 55 - 70 mph. (88-112 kph) It never happens over the entire 15 mph span... It'll pinpoint at one certain...

    Looking at the CX-9 from the other side?

    If you're still into the XC-90, be prepared for a non-conventional engine. As you may already know, in 2019 Volvo is implementing full on hybrids or electrics. If the future CX-9 has no CVT, no hybrid motor and is still a blast to drive, I'm interested.

    2016 CX-9 dash protection?

    I was thinking about this very same thing. I too own a bottle of 303 but I'm not sure if that's proper to use on the Sig's materials. The black colored part of the dash seems to have a unique "softer" skin. I'm going to do a little research before applying anything.
