When I was younger I wanted to save money and still get good sound, so the custom route was very popular in my crowd. Now that I'm older, custom still makes sense to save money, but it also allows you to customize the sound and appearance more to your liking with different resonators and muffler...

This could very well be the case, but I also think the dealership is trying to scare you into paying for a costly replacement at their dealership rates. If it were me, I would remove the headlight, and go over all possible seams where a leak could occur with a weather resistant silicone...

Yeah that's why I said "about 90c". The concern was not the accuracy of the measurement, it was the consistent, repeatable swing of temperatures.

Paying for a full catback or axleback exhaust means you get a product that easily bolts onto the existing system, no additional welding needed, with perfect fitment. Usually, it also means that you get mandrel bends instead of crush bends, allowing exhaust to flow more freely. Going the custom...

I would also be interested, mainly in grounding locations and AWG.

Thanks for the holiday wishes! Happy holidays to you too! My most memorable Christmas is probably when my oldest was 1. Watching her rip her own gifts open for the first time just made me so happy and excited for her.

Normal operating temp is about 90c. It would climb to 115c at stoplights, then drop to 90c a few seconds after taking off from a stop. Some fluctuation is normal, but this was way too much fluctuation in a much shorter time.

Coolant temp gauge would read normal operating temperature, then show higher temps when stopped at a light or when idling. Temps would drop immediately once I started accelerating again, back to a normal temp.

From what I recall, Comma.AI adds lane centering capability to vehicles that don't have it. The CX-5 only has lane keep assist otherwise. I didn't know that it now adds the features above. I certainly would not trust it in any scenario but it's interesting that they offer it.

1) Engine was displaying inconsistent temperatures, narrowed it down to a faulty thermostat or a faulty engine coolant temperature sensor. I replaced both because 2) the sensor was tedious to get to, but in the same area as the thermostat. Not hard by any means. 3) The new thermostat and ECT...

That is correct, there is no removable center console between the two seats in this configuration (commonly called "Captain's Chairs" in the US/CAN market). The Signature or top trim of the CX-9 does have a center console between the two captain's chairs, but I don't think it's removable.

I used the OEM Mazda FL-22 in the newer 55/45 formulation when I replaced the thermostat in my 2018 CX-9. Given the existence of a TSB that specifically calls out the use of Mazda's FL-22 vs. a prediluted alternative or a mixed from concentrate solution, I decided that I wouldn't take that...

Just a note - new SG1 fluid isn't clear out of the bottle. It's like honey.. very close to this colour: When I drained the fluid out of my CX-9 at 70k kms, it looked like brand new engine oil. Darker than the brand new fluid, but not bad by any means.

I'm not sure. I suppose you could use an adhesive to stick the trim to the panel, but you'd have to apply consistent pressure until the adhesive cured, and then if it ever needed to come off, it would be coming off in pieces. Maybe the body-mounted clips that hold on to the trim's fasteners can...

I used this video as a reference when hardwiring my dashcam. It was the first time I had ever done it, but the video was quite helpful.

I'm glad you recognize the problematic behaviour now. Whether it was done in good faith is debatable, because people took offense and reported these posts, among others. It is never acceptable to resort to negative name-calling or condescending comments towards other members just to try to get...

See below. Note that the general warning was for name-calling and condescending behaviour - while it may seem borderline or harmless to you, it was offensive to others. Additionally, sometimes moderators notice trends in the discussion that can devolve into negative behaviour, and moderator...

Oh no apology needed at all, I wasn't disagreeing or anything. Just explaining why I went a different way with it. If I was one of the initial responders I would have suggested the same thing lol

Yeah, I mean that's what I would personally do. In fact, I usually put my backpack on the floor, behind the driver's seat. But OP asked for a solution to the chime, and stated multiple times that they prefer to have the backpack on the seat. So rather than suggest a solution that they've already...
