A quick Google search turned up Keys On Wheels as a pretty reputable service in the DFW area able to provide what you're looking for. There's also Car Key Replacement and DFW Local Locksmith. I'd get quotes from all of them and then go with whoever you like.

All is not lost (yet). If it's worth your time and effort, I would reach out to Mazda Corporate to voice your concerns and disappointment and pursue a goodwill repair. There is a cracked cylinder head "megathread" for the 2.5 N/A, here's a link. It's 31 pages long, but there's quite a bit of...

I have the SBMA0053S. Originally bought for my 2018. I removed it when I traded it in, then installed it on the 2022 with no issues.

Chemical spill? Or a bunch of water was spilled and cleaned up, and you're trying to prevent mold growth?

If you added Android Auto using the OEM Retrofit kit, it has the capability to support both AA and Apple CarPlay. So all you'd need to do is plug in your phone and it would recognize the Apple device and open CarPlay (no need to remove AA or switch anything). If you added an aftermarket system...

There's a minor improvement in taking turns with the slightly wider base. Not noticeable unless you're really paying attention.

There are two separate cylinder head cracking issues. The one for the 2.5T involves a cylinder head crack near the exhaust manifold, and usually results in an external coolant leak. The one for the 2.5 N/A with CD is also a cylinder head crack, but it results in an external oil leak. The...

Lol that was the original. This one isn't lowered.. yet.. We'll see what the future holds! Might do springs again, or I might try coilovers. There's a set of Ceikas in the Buy/Sell right now but I can't spend much until after an upcoming vacation.

Mazda's SG1 Hypoid Gear Oil is a 75w-85 GL-4 fluid. If you want to use something different, I'd recommend at least matching that spec. I personally only have experience using the SG1 with a manual fluid pump. Due to the location of the fill plugs, you might need to use an extension hose with...

The pic showing the headlight's beam pattern - is that with high beams on?

My wife once spilled coffee into her lap and it got into the seatbelt buckle. She cleaned up the outside but left the inside alone, and didn't tell me about it for a few days. It got sticky and sometimes took a few tries to get it to latch. To clean it, I first sprayed a bit of electrical...

It's both actually, lol. Finding 5x114.3 spacers (not adapters) with 67.1mm hubs at an affordable price is harder than I thought it would be, even second-hand. I finally found a set of used Titan wheel spacers for a good price, so I decided to jump on them. They are 1.25" thick (31.75mm). Paired...

Yep, technical service bulletin

Installed wheel spacers and universal mudflaps. The wheels are just a few mms more aggressive than I'd want ideally, but I'm still happy with the look. We had a bit of rain last night, and after driving to work and through the tractor yard, it appears that the mudflaps are doing their job well...

Back in 2021, I bought a set of "universal" RallyArmor mudflaps for my other CX-9, but never ended up installing them, and they just collected dust in storage. My current 2022 didn't come with mudflaps, so I decided to install them this weekend, along with a set of wheel spacers. The car looks a...

You can ask them to check for the issue during your oil change. They should check their service database for this concern, and if there is an existing TSB for it, they will follow the diagnostic steps to continue troubleshooting. In my case, I do get this warning occasionally, but it usually...
