Are all 3 of those part numbers required? I see for the 3rd part number thats only for a hood latch if you don't have an OEM alarm.

Are you talking about the remote that you have to use with a cell phone app? If not, can you point me to the one your thinking of? thanx

If its stand alone, with no other 3rd party solutions, then its a 1 way system. It allows you to use your factory key fob to start the car by pressing the lock button 3x. The Fortin website, documentation, and phone support is top notch. However, the steps to program it are tedious, about 40...

Greencat- The wiring pictures are more convulated than what you actually have to do. My understanding is that you don't HAVE to wire the Hood Pin or the Light Wire.

Did d3ntyne or anyone else figure out how to remove the left Parking Light Switch arm removed from the steering column? The pdf shows tapping into one of these wires, and cutting the other. But the WireColor site doesn't say how to remove the arm.

Also, I wonder how many people that find the ac lacking have black interiors. Our (old) VW TDI with black interior took a while to cool down. If you want to get technical, black has more thermal mass to cool down (than a lighter color).

So just talked to Fortin tech support and got insight into a couple things; - The valet switch lets you disable the remote start system, I guess so you don't have to worry about valets accidentally starting the car. - The parking light wires don't have to be hooked up, but the benefit is the...

With the EVO MAZT1 whats the valet switch for? Fortin directions say its mandatory.

Well, look at it this way, if it is the driver and passenger windows then thats an easy $100 fix at a local tint shop. I always do this anyways with new cars so the front windows have the same tint as the rear windows, or at least close if local laws don't allow for dark tinted windows. On a...

Great write up, thanks for the detailed installed steps. I'm looking at the Fortin unit for my cx-9 ('16). Hands down, Fortin has the best web site with support docs and tools. It even has a step by step troubleshooting tool! And the wireguide is awesome. And on top of it, I called their tech...

Thanks, I'll reply to the other thread. I was wondering what dergibog ended up doing.

I sort of get why they hesitate to implement android and apple car play. If you don't do it right it can really suck, since you have to support a decent number of varying devices. My F150 has the Ford Touch system, which they partnered with Microsoft on, and it works really well. On anther care...

Looks like Fortin makes a remote start that lets you use your factory key fob. Looks like a solid product, just need to decide if I'm going to do it myself (done a decent amount of car audio): http://fortin.ca/en/vehicles/mazda/cx-9/2016-push-to-start/

I think your 100% right about the housing. Most of the factory sub housings tend to be made from a cheaper plastic and don't have enough rigidity. I'm going to do what you did with the dampining sheets but maybe more so. Maybe even put it on the outside too to try to re-inforce the housing even...

I'm looking at the evo for my cx-9. So what happened?

The instructions in this pdf (http://fortin.ca/download/61731/evo-all_ig_thr_bi_maz1-cx9_pts_2016_a_61731.pdf) suggest there's a few places you need to access wiring. On page 2 they show a picture of a steering wheel, with callouts. I'm guessing (hoping) you don't need to take apart the steering...

This is the pdf I found for the evo-mzt1; http://fortin.ca/download/61731/evo-all_ig_thr_bi_maz1-cx9_pts_2016_a_61731.pdf Actually this page has all the downloadable pdf's; http://fortin.ca/en/vehicles/mazda/cx-9/2016-push-to-start/ This is for the 2016 cx-9.

I've been browsing the discussions, but can't find a definitive answer. Does Mazda offer a remote start key fob? Not impressed with what I'm hearing about the cell phone app. If not,, any decent 3rd party offerings? Also, has anyone else noticed the so-so satellite reception? With my f150 I can...

I'm located in Northern VA. Paid an even $40k for a blue GT, AWD. Plus tax, tags, dealer fee. Found another dealer in Md. who said they could beat that by ~$500, but I didn't follow up. Didn't want the hassle of dealing with a dealer in Md.

Also, as a VW owner, I can say that generally the VWs have two shortcomings that would make the cx-9 stand out. They tend to handle rougher (stiffer) and a lot noisier (can't compete with extra sound deadening material put in the cx-9). I noticed a huge benefit in these two areas going from the...
