    Guide 2nd Generation CX-9: Dashcam installation

    The shade sits over it fine. I don’t remove the camera (or haven’t needed to since installation).

    Dashcam with invisicord on 2019 GT/PP

    Mine was the right most for switched power. Just plug it in and test it before you pick it all up.

    Dashcam with invisicord on 2019 GT/PP

    You just shove your finger in the hole and pull towards you until you hear a click as it unlatches, and then you just slide the covers apart.

    Guide 2nd Generation CX-9: Dashcam installation

    I ordered it with a fuse just in case because I didn’t want to deal with having to return it in case I needed it.

    Dashcam with invisicord on 2019 GT/PP

    I tapped it for on/off with the car. I don't drive daily so didn't want to drain the battery with parking mode. I also park on the street. I ordered it directly from their site, shipped to Canada. Took about 3 weeks for me for about $55 CAD. I figure Americans will get it much faster, as he...

    Dashcam with invisicord on 2019 GT/PP

    The way I’ve installed it is pretty out of the way. I don’t really notice it while driving. It was less in the way here than getting it inside the wiper area on the passenger side. Didn’t want my wife to have a camera in her face all the time. As for mounting in the black dotted area, the lens...

    Dashcam with invisicord on 2019 GT/PP

    I just used an invisicord in my 2020 CX-9 that has the same homelink mirror as my 2014 CX-5. Was super easy to install with a Viofo A119.

    2016~2023 2020 CX-9 tow hitch and hands-free lift gate

    Looking at the Curt 13284 online, I don't really see how it's different enough to affect the hands free liftgate differently than the one I had installed. That said, I have a feeling that the "OEM hitch" isn't one model, but whatever is compatible in each local market to the dealer.

    Guide 2nd Generation CX-9: Rear turn signal bulb replacement/upgrade

    Spent a few minutes staring at my turn signals last night and I think I'll wait until one of them burns out to replace with LEDs. The stock halogen are bright enough, and due to the different design from the fronts, it's hard to tell that they are different really. $40 saved (for now)!

    All weather mats question

    The other problem is that I have captains chairs in the second row and weather tech is the only one that has compatible mats for those but their front mats don’t seem as good as husky or maxpider.

    All weather mats question

    Been hemming and hawing but finally bit the bullet and ordered the husky cargo liner due to the coverage, and ability to fold. Will report back in a few weeks when it arrives.

    All weather mats question

    They sell Maxpiders but once you go to select them, no CX-9 mats are available anymore.

    All weather mats question

    It seems like maxpider mats have become really hard to purchase now. Wonder if they discontinued them.

    2016~2023 2020 CX-9 tow hitch and hands-free lift gate

    I had the dealer install the oem hitch and it does indeed interfere with hands free operation. The US site states this but the Canadian site didn’t. It still works most of the time if you figure out where to kick (right under the two innermost parking sensors) but it’s a bit unreliable. Maybe a...

    What cleaning/maintenance products do you use?

    I had Opticoat pro applied to my 2014 CX-5 for about $450 but a ceramic coatings have gotten so much more expensive now at closer to $1000. right now I’m just using Meguiar’s hybrid ceramic wax after a hand wash. It’s super easy and surprisingly good for a spray. I did just get a sun joe doc...

    Guide 2nd Generation CX-9: Reverse light bulb replacement/upgrade

    I only did the reverse bulbs this time, but they were so easy that I'm more encouraged to do turn signals now. @sm1ke , are the turn signals obnoxiously bright as LEDs? It's hard to tell in your video. They look brighter, but not sure if they are possibly too bright.

    Guide 2nd Generation CX-9: Reverse light bulb replacement/upgrade

    Bulbs arrived today and got swapped in within minutes. Super easy! Even simpler than I expected. The instructions from @sm1ke made it a breeze. Looks great. Thanks for the tips!
