    Anybody have the OEM illuminated door sills on their 2019 CX-9?

    Ok, I installed the 2018 CX-9 Illuminated Door Sills, or rather had the Mazda dealer perform the installation. At first, I was not happy with the purchase, but after seeing it installed it adds a certain amount of style. Even the Mazda reps were impressed, one rep stated that it should be...

    2016~2023 iOS 13 Apple Car Play with Mazda

    Yes, turning off Bold Text solved the connections issues for the most part (only had to remove USB cable once or twice). I would love to see ACP Nav in the HUD. It may be possible via s/w (Mazda or Apple), but I'm not sure. Perhaps a s/w Engineer can chime in. Peace and blessings, Azeke

    2016~2023 iOS 13 Apple Car Play with Mazda

    Update: FYSA, if you have upgraded to the new iOS beta 13 and have issues with ACP showing on the Mazda infotainment monitor, turn off BOLD TEXT in Accessibility on your iPhone. Took a minute to find this resolution nugget. Peace and blessings, Azeke

    Anybody have the OEM illuminated door sills on their 2019 CX-9?

    You're welcome, I just ordered mine with a $100.00 off. Since I didn't mount the side step rails, due to fitment issues, therefore, I substituted this option in it's place. I've been thinking about adding this option to my Sig for awhile. I don't now whether to thank you or blame you :-). It...

    Got an email: Announcing Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Integration for your Mazda

    Yes, it was worth it for me as an iPhone user (ACP). I can't speak for the Android community, they had some s/w issues, but they say it was resolved with the new firmware. Hope this helps. YMMV of course. Peace and blessings, Azeke

    hitch mounted bicycle racks

    I bought the Kuat NV 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches - Tilting - Metallic Black, from etrailer, great price. It weighs ~50#, but it works very well. I had a bad experience once with an inexpensive bike rack and my carbon bike fell off in the middle of the highway, luckily everyone...

    i-ACTIVE AWD not so Active

    Indeed...This is why I changed to the Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza Plus, the difference was significant to me. Who would think that the same company's tire would have such a different and positive impact. I really felt better while driving through a pouring rain recently in DC, while others...

    Traded in 2011 Sonata for a 2019 CX-9

    Funny, that's what I did in Oct 2018, traded a 2011 Hyundai Sonata limited 2.0 Turbo, for the 2018 Mazda CX-9 Sig. My Hyundai was becoming a maintenance hog @ ~ 95,000mi. I am still enjoying my 2018 Sig it's a joy to drive and after switching out the OEM rims and tires, it's a thing of beauty...

    Bridgestone DUELER H/L ALENZA PLUS 20" Tires for 2018 CX-9 Sig

    Well, I drove through a quasi-Monsoon Thursday, and the new tires were hugging the road, like glue. Steering felt tight and tires gripped and dissipated the water very well. I now feel justified spending the additional money on these shoes. Peace and blessings, Azeke
