Our CX-9 has a metal on metal, chain-like sound that happens when starting from a stop as well as turning. Our warranty is up in about 1k miles. I wonder if this is the problem.

I am against cross drilled rotors due to cracking, but I got slotted rotors (you can also get crilled/slotted) from these guys: http://www.r1concepts.com/ They have held up quite nicely.

I use softscrub for water spots on windows. Works like a charm.

Hey Dave! I recognize you from the LXForums...I, too, drive a Magnum RT and my wife drives the CX-9. Small world.

They've actually changed their wording, though it can still be a bit misleading. Prior to the change, they mentioned nothing about a 3.5L. I emailed them and they told me to get the 107 and the adapter. I then emailed the manufacturer and they told me they weren't sure if it was needed. Just...

For anyone interested in a fumoto valve who has a 2007 CX-9 with the 3.5L engine... After searching an speaking with the manufacturer, I've confirmed that you need the 107 valve, but no adapter. It seems that only the 3.7L on the 2008+ models have a recessed oil pan. Just wanted to save you...

An easy way is to get an FM broadcaster like the iTrip from Griffin. Another option is the Harmon Kardon Drive + Play. It has a separate screen and scroll wheel you can mount for navigation. They have 2 models...the newer one (Drive + Play 2) is very expensive. The older one (Drive + Play...

Did you manage to get this fixed yet? I am wondering if my dealer would know anything about this. THANKS.

Thanks. I actually picked up the original version for $20.

Thanks l-miwa! You just saved me some money. I guess I'll look into the Harmon-Kardon Drive+Play.

If so, it would seem like an awfully expensive charger since the steering wheel controls are useless to me without knowing what I am navigating to.

Can anyone confirm (or not) whether the song info displays on the information area? I have a 2007 non-Nav, non-satellite GT CX-9. If the information doesn't display, I am not sure I would spend the coin just to have the steering wheel controls work. Anyone? Thanks.

I would classify the ride as "sporty." You definitely feel the road imperfections more since there is less sidewall.

I am always leary of aluminum oil pans as I hear the horror stories of stripping them. I am one of those types who doesn't like crawling under a car with a torque wrench. Anyways, I think I am gonna pick me up a Fumuto valve for this so I don't have to worry about it. I put one on my other...

Ummm. I'll insert my opinion here, too. I would use the 5W20. Reason being is if there is ever a failure due to a lubrication problem during the warranty, Mazda could deny your warranty claim. I've also heard of problems with the oil foaming (IIRC) when using 5W30 in place of 5W20. May have...

I have the Zaino cleaner and conditioner as well as a conditioner from Griots. Zaino is not bad, and the Griots stuff I have is a bit thicker (not for frequent use) but I wanna try the Lexol stuff as BMW recommends it for their cars and I know the quality of leathers they use.

Does the rear (0000-8L-N07) come with 2nd and 3rd row mats?

I've read about this issue here (I think) before and my wife's '07 CX-9 has it. While driving normal speeds both around town and on the highway, the driver side mirror (not the housing) vibrates. The dealer confirmed it is a problem with all models on their lot. I'd love to get Mazda's...
