    2016~2023 CX-9 41K spark plug change, found NGK plugs in the wild

    I realize you posted this awhile ago, but thank you for this. Picked up both sockets for around $70. I have zero issues buying quality, recommended tools! The cost was easily justified as I’m going my wife’s CX-9 and my CX-5 at the same time. These will definitely get use!

    Which NGK Spark Plug?

    I saw that as well, but I have seen plenty of instances where the 2.5L used the DILKAR7M8 plugs without issue. Hence, my dilemma and confusion :)

    Which NGK Spark Plug?

    OK, just need some clarifications as I seemed to have confused myself :) I need to change both my wife's plugs (2018 CX-9 2.5L) and mine (2019 CX-5 2.5T). Are these both the NGK 90288 (DILKAR7M8) plugs or does our CX-9 need the 94124 (ILKAR711) ones? I am seeing posts all over the place and...

    My understanding is that you can. Keep in mind you will lose Japanese radio stations if you choose to go that route (due to frequency differences).

    He did reach out to me (and we chatted a few times), but I don't have the FW updates for the newest infotainment generation.

    A new "high" for our dealership. They MUST be joking!

    So we have been having our services performed for years (and I mean over 12!) at our dealership (Chapman in south NJ). Wife took her CX-9 in for 90K service (which they quoted over $400 for! We declined everything but the full synthetic oil change and rear differential fluid change (which was...

    Just FYI. I’ll clear the backlog of requests tomorrow. Wife and I just got back from over 2 weeks in Europe and I need to get caught up at work and we’re spending time with kids.

    Mazda Connect Firmware 74.00.230A (now .324A)

    and please confirm you upgraded FW before installing the hardware. I do see the kit you purchased and seems to have good reviews, so maybe the kit is OK.

    Mazda Connect Firmware 74.00.230A (now .324A)

    That’s my only concern. If there are any internal issues with the kit, it makes it harder to troubleshoot. Certainly the OEM kits are recommended for this reasons. Any chance you took photos during install? Can you provide instructions you followed? I installed the OEM kit on my wife’s CX-9...

    LED Rear bumper reflector light install question (2024 CX-5 Turbo)

    Send a link to where you purchased the lights. You likely will not use the green wire in the OEM harness. If I had to guess (again, a link to your specific lights would help): Black light fixture to black OEM (ground screw or ground hub would be better). White wire fixture (usually green but...

    Well. Almost 5 years later and the little controller box for my front bumper lights finally gave out. Was able to get a replacement and 40 minutes later I am back up and running.
