    CarPlay retrofit - 2012 CX-9

    I've been thinking of doing this for my 2012 CX-9, base model. I do have the backup camera that goes to the rearview mirror (it's so tiny of an image that it's useless). I would love to get a head unit that enabled CarPlay and allowed the backup camera feed to go to the headunit as well.

    Retain factory backup camera with an aftermarket unit

    I'm interested in this as well. My 2012 CX9 has the backup camera fed to the rear view mirror. I'd like to buy a modern touch screen head unit, so that the backup camera will show on it. I basically never could see the little screen on the mirror.

    How is it you have no help in a Mazda/CX9/Infotainment forum? I also am interested in doing this.

    How do I unbuckle middle row seat belt?

    Youri, omg, that worked. Thank you thank you thank you. Over the years I tried unbuckling it with that slot, using the metel end of the buckle, figuring if that was a release, then that's how it would work. But inserting a key popped it off immediately. Thanks.

    How do I unbuckle middle row seat belt?

    Am I a moron? Blind? I can not figure out how to unbuckle the center seat belt in the middle row of my 2012 CX-9. It doesn't have a button. It's the belt that is attached to the ceiling behind and stretches over.

    Largest/best aftermarket radiator/fan/tranny cooler for maximum towing?

    My trim line did not come with the preinstalled plug and play wiring. In fact I still need to sell the harness I bought to plug into that prewiring, assuming it was there. So, I physically ran the wire for the harness from the back, through the trim inside the vehicle, and through the little...

    Largest/best aftermarket radiator/fan/tranny cooler for maximum towing?

    I'd like to install a tow package for my 2012 CX9 Sport. I already installed the Curt hitch and love it. I'd like to consider if there are aftermarket radiator & fan and also tranny cooler that are better (guessing that means larger) than what my dealer will put in that fit the CX9 I can...

    Side mirror replacement. Can I upgrade?

    My 2012 CX-9 got a side mirror busted. It's the Sport trim with not extras, so not blind spot detection or blinker in the mirror. Is there an aftermarket side mirror that has a blind spot indicator built in? I'm guessing it'd be a little light, without any sound. Or can I at least buy the...

    WTB CX-9 side mirror, upgrade to add a blind spot detection?

    Hello, My driver side mirror got busted off. It's a midnight blue 2012 CX-9 Sport. It does not have blind spot detection, so no internal computer for that. Is there an aftermarket mirror that has blind spot detection I could replace with? Thanks, Joe

    Rear Trunk Pocket Lids

    I just pulled my covers to look. My part on left/driver side says: Mazda TE69 688F1 K3006 >PP< and on the right says: Mazda TE69 688E1 K3006 >PP< When I do a search for that, the closest I find is: TE69-68-8F1C-02 at parts places like realmazdaparts.com The site says it fits my 2012, so maybe...

    Rear Trunk Pocket Lids

    It looks like it already has a custom/homemade cover from the pic, or is that not your vehicle? You could for sure make some. I have a 2012, so not sure if it's the same size, but if you need a template, I could scan them and email it to you.

    *Bump* metoo. The driver side visor droops on my 2012 CX-9. Anyone seen any diy fixes? Any lead on a better price than $185?!?!?!

    Hitch Wiring Harness for 2012 CX9 Sport

    Thanks... is it the red/yellow wire going to the outlet that I tap into? (or the black one?) It's the red/yellow one, right? That's + right? The circuit is completed cause the assembly had a ground going to the chassis?

    Hitch Wiring Harness for 2012 CX9 Sport

    Thanks so much to you both. Anyone know the gauge of the hot wire coming into that 12v accessory outlet that I'll be tapping into? Also, any need to still put the inline fuse in the setup, since there is already a fuse upstream from the outlet?

    Hitch Wiring Harness for 2012 CX9 Sport

    Any assistance on how to tap into that 12v outlet that's there in the back? I've looked at it... will I be soldering, splicing, what? Do I remove that outlet, or by tapping in can I splice off leaving the outlet functional as well?

    Hitch Wiring Harness for 2012 CX9 Sport

    That looks awesome. Thanks so much. I'm just a little skiddish about my ability/time to run the power cable all the way to the front. It would also mean I'm stuck with the OEM harness.

    Hitch Wiring Harness for 2012 CX9 Sport

    I put a Curt hitch on my 2012 CX9 Sport and works great for my bike rack the last 2 years. I just bought the OEM Mazda Wiring Harness, for light trailer use (I'm aware of the 2k limit) hoping that the plug-n-play connector would work, however pulled panels and saw no connector, then came back to...

    I'm waiting also to hear of success in self-programming a switchblade style key and it's remote for a 2012 CX-9. Anyone?
