    Any higher mileage 2nd Gen CX-9's out there?

    I have a 2016 Signature with 88 K. Mostly highway miles, I have a long commute.

This is one of the...

    Installing a subwoofer I installed a Kicker Hideaway under the passenger front seat which has a small footprint, great sound, and fits well out if sight. Costs about 300. Check the posts in the audio section for other solutions.

    Antenna Adaptor for After Market Deck

    I have the Sport Model and installed a Pioneer unit to replace the cheese-dog stock radio. My installer says no antenna kits available and no way to adapt to use the cars existing antenna. Tried the HONDA ANTENNA ADAPTER (TYPE I - AFTERMARKET RADIO) HD10 (UP TO 2009) #5560, which was suggested...

    Metra announces single and double din install kits for CX-5

    I have the same Pioneer deck in a Sport Model. I ordered and had my installer put in the double din kit from Meta, but he swears the Honda adaptor does not work for the antenna. Says that it may only work for the Bose model. Does it work for you and what model CX5 do you have? is it different on...

    Radio / Speakers on CX-5 SPORT model

    Thanks for the reply. After much thought I decided to go the route of components front and back. I'm having MB Quarts installed in the front this week without an amplifier just to ease the financial pain until I can afford the amp. I've decided to switch out the location of the Kicker Hideaway...

    Kicker Hideway???

    I have the kicker hideaway sub installed under my front passenger seat. It's awesome, perfect fit and deep bass. I fit the adjustment knob at the drivers panel because the bass is too intense and I like the ability to control it for some music. I am not sure what your looking for, but for me its...

    Radio / Speakers on CX-5 SPORT model

    After living with the stock speakers and a Pioneer AVH-P8400 double din deck with a Kicker Hideaway subwoofer under the passenger seat for 6 months I am now ready to upgrade the lousy door speakers. The Pioneer puts off 50W 4 channel, so I hope I do not need an amp, and with the Kicker sub I...

    Auto sport mode and general performance.

    I struggled with the choice, wanted all the toys but not the automatic. So I decided to go with the manual and upgrade it aftermarket. I am sooo pleased I did. The six speed is silky smooth and has plenty pep for me, plus the shifting gives the zoom zoom fun. I love it at the gas station, we...

    Aftermarket Stereo

    Pioneer 8400 Far as I know this fits like a glove with no special efforts or customization, same size a factory radio, just more screen (7 inch). And I am okay with the mic where it is, kinda cool seeing it there and knowing that other six speeds ain't got bluetooth. I use the iphone 4s with no...
