    CX9 as a ski vehicle?

    Just received my new wheels/tires from Tire Rack. Color me impressed at the 2 day delivery included in price. They are no longer stocking Blizzaks for the year so I was limited to the Pirelli Scorpions but reviews seem favorable. I do have questions though as I've never run winter tires...

    CD/Nav unit stuck open

    Anyone have this problem? Went to load a disc and my cd/nav screen stuck in the open position while refusing to take a disc after telling me to wait. I had only one cd loaded and 5 open spaces. It also put itself in Nav mode and won't exit to Audio on the display, nor will it access the one...

    CX9 as a ski vehicle?

    I know that I have to change my tires from stock but before I go to the trouble of buying new rims/tires I'd like to know if anyone uses their CX9 successfully as a ski vehicle. Particularly in Washington state (Steven's Pass/Crystal Mtn.) but anywhere with real mountains would be great. TIA...

    Aftermarket DVD player and Moonroof

    Thx Ushtang and Scubasteve. That's just what I was looking for. Tell me- do you have any problems driving without the use of your rear view mirror or do you just get used to it? I hadn't considered the blocking issue previously. Thanks again!

    And on the seventh, into the shop it goes

    Well if you're keeping count on this issue you may have grounds to have it recalled as a lemon and get a new one. Sounds like you've been in twice for this issue. If it goes on much longer start asking about the "Lemon Law" and you may get results one way or the other. Best of luck to ya though.

    CX-9 "a real head banger"

    My take on this is that you taller people are used to bending in some way so you don't notice much difference. Just picked up my 08 and notice the same low clearance issue getting in. I've never had to duck to get into any of my previous cars. I'll get used to it I'm sure.

    Splash Guards

    I just did this install. The fronts were very easy. The rears were even easier. You don't have to un-install the rear inner splash guards so long as you know how the screw clips work. * Use a utility knife to slice the sides of the two tabs free and pry/pull them outward, finish removal...
