I typically see this with smaller cars, and I agree... I wanted the feature after trying out one of the new Civics. Perhaps Mazda figured people would be OK with the stop and go cruise control alone and save cost along the way

I have the OEM roof rack, mainly future-proofing for a roofbox. They look good, but like someone said, can be a PIA to take off / on. They run about $400 installed.

May be a bug, but the Google text message dictation on AA is not working for me. Ditto touchscreen control, even when parked.

Adding to my .02, the muted volume condition is intermittent on my AA+7/100 sw as well. It seems to be a result of conflicts between Google's notification process and Mazda's system. For example, if you have G maps running and a turn comes up while playing music, it reduces the vehicles overall...

Not entirely true. Fortin's programming specifically allows you to bypass this issue.

This was the easiest part IMO. I suggest you read throughthe Mazda revolution thread, everything (literally) you need is outlined there https://mazda3revolution.com/forums/2014-2018-mazda-3-skyactiv-audio-electronics/230249-genuine-carplay-android-auto-all-here-now.html Summary: Do not install...

I finished this mod, IMO Android Auto is a game changer but the higher current output is also a significant improvement. I also used this opportunity to run some wiring for my dash cam that's been hanging in space. It did take me 3 hours to do, including re-flashing the firmware to version...

Lines up with the IIHS study, which ranked it "Acceptable" for models effective Jan 2018 in order to get a top pick label. Seems like Mazda made a correction somewhere: https://www.iihs.org/iihs/ratings/vehicle/v/mazda/cx-9-4-door-suv/2018 However, in my experience with a late 2017 Model, the...

I was under the impression that 2018s got this retrofit for free, have they reneged on this?

Mine locks all but the drivers side windows when you do that. I have not run the AA firmware yet

I too second the Maxpider 3D... Very nice set, prefer them over the Weather-Techs. I went with the the third row set and I think those are crap, fit wise they barely cover the relevant bits

I think you are referring to the "Crystal" designation on the colors. Though there does seem to be an additional layer, I don't know if this was a durability enhancement as much as it was about making the color "pop" more. I have looked at the regular and the crystal soul red and there is a...

Thank you for summarizing this... the dealer here probably punted because he eventually realized corporate would deny this claim, but some overzealous guy had made some commitments notwithstanding, I'd be pissed too. While I don't dispute OP's merit, personally, I fail to see why/ how he...

I agree, if one was only looking at utility, then the minivans/ Tahoe XL/ Expeditions would be the prime path so reviews have to apply subjectivity and I am glad Mazda's is paying off three years after making the bet. My only regret is with not paying the extra $$ for a 2018 model.

Do you have links to the kit? How much was it? Have you installed the kit on the CX-9? How hard of an install is it to pry the old stuff out and install? Is the firmware something you request from the dealer?

Just to be clear, you just have the module installed (faster charging), the AA/ AC functionality is not yet rolled into your system, correct? Also, will swapping this connector void your warranty?

Very nice, this looks promising. What I am more interesting in is whether the change in hardware also brings with it improvement in output to at least 2 Amps. The current rating on the front ports is mediocre from the factory, to say the least. I imagine this was one of the baselines limiting...

I liked the Ascent (related note> what is it with these names...Atlas, Explorer, Ascent?) They are not trying to be something they are not, so Subie owners with growing families will find this change familiar. I liked the tech package as well as the premium seats. I also thought they did well on...
