    Camera software update? Will it happen?

    I just replaced my 2016 cx9 with a 2019 model. The camera image in the 2016 was far superior to what is displayed in the 2019...and 360 makes it worse given the reduced screen size to accommodate multiple views. What Id give to upgrade to my old system!!

    CX-9 is in running for SUV of the year

    Unlike the Signature trim in the US, Australia's highest spec (Azami) doesn't have nappa leather, wood or aluminium trim, auto locking doors, tyre pressure sensors, chrome roof rails, led accent lighting inside or on the front grill or the light colored head liner. But on the flip side...

    Remote Key Range In Cabin

    I drive with the keys in the cup holder and haven't had an issue yet although the keys are in my hand when I press the start button. On occasions the keys will be in a bag that's on the front passenger seat or floor and it still lets me start the car 90% of the time. I don't see how it would...

    Anybody installed the cross bars on their 2016 yet? Seems easy but

    Thanks astriuminc Mine are the fixed ones, no rails unfortunately. So options are to remove them altogether, leave them as they are, or relocate them to another hole, if another exists under the plastic strip. But they are the genuine Mazda part and I've read the installation instructions and it...

    Anybody installed the cross bars on their 2016 yet? Seems easy but

    So I had the dealer fit cross bars (no roof rails) and whilst I don't have a photo, I'm worried they've been mounted too far forward (although I've been assured they're in the correct holes). The front one is smack in line with the centre of the sun roof. The back one is just back from the seam...

    New Member here: I just test drove a cx 9 signature - "dreadful A/C" is correct

    BTU size aside, I thought the real world feedback from owners was that the AC actually was better than originally thought and fit for purpose. I stand ready to be corrected (slammed!) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2016 CX-9 Recommendation

    I respect that my Aussie post may have no relevance to US market, however, having set up a wifi hotspot in the car (external/portable wifi device I leave permanently plugged in to the USB in the car) I get real time traffic updates along my route and weather report for my destination. Sent...

    New Member here: I just test drove a cx 9 signature - "dreadful A/C" is correct

    Took my Azami AWD (I'm in Australia) to the snow last weekend. Heating worked brilliantly. Windows unfogged faster than my mate's current model Volvo XC90 and cabin warmed well throughout (including to the kids in the third row). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New Member here: I just test drove a cx 9 signature - "dreadful A/C" is correct

    Is there a correlation between the cooling and heating functions of an AC system? Are we going to find 'dreadful' heating and de-misting ability when the mercury swings the other way? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
