    What have you done to your CX-9 today?

    Thanks sm1ke, I missed that. I previously participated in a forum that separated comment areas by generation so I don't catch that sometimes.

    What have you done to your CX-9 today?

    Are the Sealight H11s direct replacements or do they require modification to replace the stock fog lights? How does the brightness compare?

    2016-2019 mud flaps installation

    I agree with azuzu. Once I began the install process it became clear where I needed to do the trimming. It is not difficult, just take your time and don't cut until you understand where things will attach.

    Installing Silver Accents on 2016 Touring Edition

    I ordered a number of accessories right after getting my CX-9 (mats, mud guards, cargo net, etc.) and found mazdaswag.com to have the best pricing. Customer service was also excellent.

    2018 vs. 2019

    I have a '19 GT. I was mostly interested in the ventilated seats. I have found that they work well unlike the '19 RDX that I test drove.(hot climate here). I also wanted the factory integrated Android Auto but haven't used it yet. I knew that may be the case but thought it would help to...

    What did you pay for your CX-9?

    Sorry, I didn't see your post earlier. Bought it at Chapman on Bell Rd. We wanted the '19 for the Android Auto/Apple Carplay and ventilated seats. Can't compare the gauge cluster as I only saw the older one during test drive and wasn't focused on it. I blanketed emails to all Phoenix area...

    Chrome Delete?

    I like the chrome on my '19 GT. To my eye it's just enough to add some class but not too much.

    2019 CX-9 - list of design problems/complaints

    I compared the CX-9 to other SUVs that cost much more and chose it over them. Yes, it has some compromises - it has to in order to remain at the price point it's at - but for me the compromises were acceptable. I'm all in favor of improving the vehicle wherever possible including those areas...

    16-17 owners ... what warranty work have you needed?

    I purchased the '19 over an '18 primarily for the ventilated seats (I live in AZ) and Android Auto/Apple Carplay. I've since come to appreciate other added features like the 360 camera and folding mirrors. I only test drove the '19 so can't compare quietness from first hand experience but as...

    Nav Entry Question

    I think you're wrong but am not positive. We've found that address entry works much more reliably through voice entry so we use that almost exclusively. We quickly figured out not to include the zip code when using voice entry (our old car wanted the zip, the CX-9 doesn't seem to like it).

    '18 CX-9 and Fortin Remote Car Starter...Success!

    I have a new (couple of months old) Windows computer. Do you suppose that means I wouldn't be able to do the install?

    2018 CX-9 mud flaps?

    No drilling was required for the OEM mudguards but some small notches needed to be cut in the inner wheel well liner and, as I recall, in the mudguard itself. It took me an hour or so to install all four being careful not to make any mistakes - especially with the cutting. Mine is a '19 but...

    Why did you purchase a CX-9?

    We purchased a CX-9 Grand Touring because it met nearly every one of our criteria for a new vehicle with a much higher value proposition than any of its competitors, including those costing a great deal more. We were a bit unsure about the 2018 but once ventilated seats and Apple...

    Don't hold back, just tell us what you think Matt! (rlaugh) Just kidding of course. I appreciate your feedback and the good information.

    Maintenance on these newer 2018/2019 models

    I've been using Nextzett Cockpit Premium (used to be called 1Z Einszett Cockpit Premium) for quite a few years. It works very well to clean most interior surfaces including clear plastics like the instrument cluster lense - so little to no worry about what you get it on. What I like best about...

    Trailer hitch

    I installed a Curt 12156 class II hitch with 1-1/4" receiver on my 2019 CX-9 for my bike rack (1-Up USA). The best price I could find at the time was from etrailer.com. It was simple to install. I was able to do it myself although the the Youtube videos I watched called for a helper. It's a...

    New Member Here...Considering CX-9

    I went through almost the exact process as you and had many of the same criteria. We ended up with the CX-9 and both my wife and I are very pleased with our decision. We've had ours for a few months, not years, but so far we are extremely happy with it. it's a great vehicle and a great value...

    2019 CX-9 rattle from sunroof area at highway speeds

    That's a problem with quiet vehicles, the little noises become much more apparent.

    Second Gen CX-9 Second row vent

    It's zone 3 and the function should be the same as zones 1 and 2 in front. That's the way it is in my GT model anyway.

    Fortunately the paintless dent repair guys typically do a good job and are affordable.
