    What have you done to your CX-9 today?

    Yeah - those f'ers are heavy. The first time I had my winter wheels/tires put on I had it done at the dealer; in the Spring when I went to swap them back on my own I about slipped a disc....

    Heat only getting really warm when car is moving (2016 CX-9)

    I find it interesting how many of you let your cars idle for such a long time before driving. It's really not good for the engine.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKALgXDwou4

    2017 CX-9 wipers for winter

    I don't recall if the "connector" I used was separate in the box or just what was pre-installed on the wiper blade, but whatever I needed was right there; I didn't have to purchase anything other than the blades. ETA: the video shows that it's not the "connector" that was pre-installed but...

    ACP Issue - ACP Randomly Disconnects

    I've had ACP installed for about a month now, and an issue has arisen wherein the ACP randomly disconnects. Sometimes disconnecting the cable and re-connecting it works. But sometimes I end up with a message on my infotainment screen saying something along the lines of "ACP is not responding" or...

    Cross shopping cx-9 with Lexus rx350l and Acura MDX

    LOL. I did a long time ago . . . when I was a single income single person. Now I'm a single income married person with three kids, so the Colnago I'd like is a bit out of my price range. :(

    Cross shopping cx-9 with Lexus rx350l and Acura MDX

    For sure. A year ago we bought a 2015 MDX SH-AWD Advance with ~38,000 miles for less than my then new 2017 CX-9 GT cost.

    Cross shopping cx-9 with Lexus rx350l and Acura MDX

    I'm not sure what you mean by "Brand recognition" and it being a con. Does it have the cachet of Acura or Lexus? No, of course not. But it's not designed to compete with those vehicles. Is it as well-known as Honda or Toyota? Well, it depends on what you're talking about. The MX-5 Miata is the...

    What have you done to your CX-9 today?

    It sounds like the rear brake locked up in the closed position, and he drove for a while with the brake locked up. This would've built up the heat and probably caused the disc to warp. The pinging was likely the disc contracting while it was cooling off after he stopped.

    Firmware version

    It probably doesn't have the latest version, but it will after ACP/AA is installed because ACP/AA won't work without the update.

    What have you done to your CX-9 today?

    I got the 5000SLX, but I'll be putting in an order for the frame extension kit (https://www.quickjack.com/accessories/slx-frame-extension-kit-pair.html), which takes an SLX and gives it the length of an EXT. This way I can use the extension kit when working on the CX-9 and MDX, but leave it off...
