Nope no programming required. It just plugs in.

I know for a fact that if the rear antenna only is bad, and the red KEY light is illuminated, then NONE of the external buttons work. That's how my 08 GT was. I replaced just the rear antenna under the bumper and all returned to normal. It was super easy to replace - two screws and one wire...

I've got a 2008 CX-9 with 59876 miles on it. Friday morning the wife started it and the following warning lights came on: BRAKE OIL PRESSURE SKID CONTROL TCS OFF BSM OFF (FLASHING) Also the turn signal indicators on the cluster don't work, although the actual external turn signals work. I am...

Looking like it's this: http://www.jimellismazdaparts.com/products/ANTENNA--BRACKET-C---KEYLESS/1914968/TD17676N0.html About $100

I, too have this problem on my 08. Since my vehicle is out of warranty and the dealer is 120 miles away, is there any way to determine which sensor is malfunctioning? I am very capable with a digital multi-meter and auto troubleshooting.

Are the 2010s really rated at 15/25 for AWD? Our 08 GT AWD is rated 15/21. We've never gotten as low as 15 in the city, but on the highway the best we've got is right at 20.5-21. Tyson

All the above are correct...doesn't have the cross traffic warning system. But it is a great feature; it saved me once in our 9. It's especially handy if you use your turn signals to change lanes, because it beeps loudly at you :)

Ours is an 08 GT that we bought used with 8,300 miles and was driven from Chicago here to Mississippi. That was in May; now it has 14,000 on it. Not a single issue that you mention. The paint is a little weak on the door silver trim, but not enough to warrant a trip to the dealer 90 miles...

My wife really wanted the features of the GT plus wanted the RSES, so we pretty much bought an 08 GT AWD loaded. It was used with 8300 miles, but we bought it wholesale at $27,750. You may not get so lucky yet on a used 08. If you don't have to have the factory nav, then the touring still has...

While ours doesn't trump the Arizona desert for beauty, but our family of four did just get back from a week-long trip to the beach in Alabama. That's a pretty good place to drive a CX-9 (not that there's a bad place.) It's the first long family trip on the '9 and was most pleasant. We had...

Look for Sirius install instructions in this forum. It has instructions for opening the dash. It's easy really.

Regarding attention to detail...I am traveling this week for work in a rented newest-generation Chrysler Town & Country minivan. It, like my CX-9, has a power rear hatch. On the CX-9, the button to close the hatch is right where you would grab to close the hatch. On the T&C, it's in the path...

Friday marked owning our 08 GT AWD for a week. We went from an 01 Millenia that we bought new to this, which now has about 9200 miles on it. It had just under 9K when we bought it. It's certainly an extremely comfy ride, especially for road trips. We drove it on a 60-mile interstate trip...

I should have picked these up from you too!

I have only driven the car once at night and it was on a very short drive. I only saw the jiggle on a bad bump. The lights are super bright though, just wasn't used to the beam cutoff. My 10 year old 626 lights are more like shining a flashlight out into the dark compared to these things.
