I believe the radio antenna on the 2007 CX9 is embedded into the rear windows and is part of the rear defroster wires.. There may be a break in the antenna So when you turn on the defroster. It's causing the static. See link.... Seems like a common issue...

you may have accidentally toggled off the Parking rear sensor button on the dash by your left knee.. it has happened to me before while cleaning/dusting. make sure the switch it lit on orange LED , see video, 0:30 minute mark

WOW! great job Captain !! whoa that is dedication, looks great, 70-80 hours ? you saved a lot of money doing it yourself, say an indy shop charges $75 for labor , you are talking about $75 * 80 hours = $6000 just in labor cost. I don't think I have that dedication, after all the...

you mean you actually have to stop at "R" and then depress the shift button to get into park ? doesn't sound normal, for me from "D" , I depress the button and go straight to "P" never have to stop at "R" let go of the button and press again to go into D, I would take it to the...

the first ding /dent / scratch is always the hardest, after the first cherry pop LOL, then you just roll with the punches and accept the fact that it will eventually happen, you increase your odds by parking further away from the entrances.

I have great luck with Meguiars Ultimate Polish, it will polish and remove the existing swirls. Their next step up with harsher grit product is called Ultimate Compound but it might be too harsh for the shifter plate. Try the Ultimate Polish on any loose black glossy plastic first before you...

you'll be ok, SUV's are exempt and rear windows can be tinted, 5% is really dark though, it'll be very hard to see anything at night.

agree with everything Thaumaturge said..... just to add, check your engine oil to see if it is milky and looks like chocolate milk, if it does you have a water pump failure, and the coolant is leaking into your engine. I think you can check by using the dipstick without having to drain the...

this is normal, I have this happen all the time when I go over a speed bump near my house, if I hit the speed bump too quickly, after the speed bump, the 4WD would flash, also happens when I slide in snow. I think you are ok.... still I would service the transfer case oil in case you...

going rate is like $75 to $100 for tinting just front and passenger windows but in all honesty, you can do it yourself, it's really not that hard, tons of youtube videos on it....... just need like 5 drops of Johnson and Johnson baby shampoo diluted with distilled water and lasered pre-cut...

I didn't know this either but after some googling because it's actually a Mazda lol. See link.... http://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/videos/a31636/scion-ia-mazda-2/

Pennslyvania doesn't require front license plates? You guys are lucky. The blue one looks super clean without the plates. I suppose it's good to tell salesman not to drill holes to bumper before sealing the deal. Real shame though that you can't debadge those rear emblems without revealing the...

Exactly, my coworker got 26 mpg on his '16 cx9 from Poughkeepsie to Buffalo. Going average 65 mph. No traffic. Typical highway terrain mostly flat but some long uphills .
