    2010 and 2011 Siruis Antenna Mounting?

    I noticed the antenna from 2009 back is different from 2010 and later. My 2010 factory pre-installed has long antenna module and the wire has to be through a hole under the antenna into the ceiling.

    HID Type and Installation

    DDM Kits let you install straight to factory halogen housing, but you have to drill a hole on the cap (bulb cover) to run the cable to/from ballasts. CX-9 High Beam is 9005 Type Bulbs. Remove Low and High beam is really easy. However, you have to remove coolant tank for easy access to passenger...

    2011 CX-9 Roof Rails, Splash Guards, and Hitch installation

    You don't need to drill holes for Roof Rails. There are 2 covers on each side rail. Remove them to expose screws. I bought factory Roof Rails and it took me 15' to install.

    Are the two power window swithces supposed to be lighted?

    So now I know I am not alone with this issue. I was asking my dealer for this issue when I stoped there for an oil change and they gave me a paper (see attachment). What do you guys think?

    Recommend some good wiper blades

    Rain-X also did a good job for me when I replaced it on my old CX-9. A pair costs around $35.

    Xenon bulbs cast yellowish light, rather than white

    Of course, if you go higher color temp, you get less brightness. The best brightness is about 4300K. But I think around 5000K is the best combination.

    Remote Start questions

    You may have a blown FUSE in remote start unit. See below bulletin for the instruction how to replace the FUSE. This bulletin is for 2007-2008 model, but the unit is the same for 2010, so I think it may work.

    Moon roof added at dealer?

    So, what do you want to add? Moon Roof or Bose? For what I believe, it's impossible to add Moonroof. It has to be done at time of assembly.

    Power outlet doesn't turn off with car?

    Only the one on center console (on the right next to small box) will be on/off with ignition. All others stay on all the time. Remember to unplug any high power device or you have to jump. I forgot my cooler running all night and had to jump start in the morning.

    Slot at the bottom of the cup holder

    I only have SmartKey and Remote Start Key together. In home, it is in key holder and in car it is in my pants pocket. Whenever I want to start the car, I can grab the starter key from outside the pocket to push the button.

    Headlight Halos, anyone?

    4300K or 4500K is the best light output. 5000K or 6000K is the best white output. These are what I know.

    Slot at the bottom of the cup holder

    you can still lock the car with another key, but it will beeps about 6 times to indicate that there's key inside. My wife keeps her key in purse. Sometime, she left her purse inside the car and we walk out. I still can lock the car but with some beeps.

    Auto Start Up

    I absolutely suggest to install factory Remote Engine Start since you won't mess up factory security and alarm. I installed my CX-9 twice by myself. My first time was on 07' CX-9 and it took me almost 2 days. The second time was on 2010 and only took me few hours. I bought the kit on eBay for a...
