    Trailer light wiring

    Finished the install Well turns out those pieces in the back do just 'pop' out. After taking all the cargo hooks and rings out of the side you just peel the side away to access the taillight connections. No need to remove the tail light. Took me a couple hours to complete as I had a hard...

    How to remove the headliner on CX-9

    Results So how did it go? I'm in the same boat with my 2 year old son that I'd like to invest in a flip down DVD player. At first I was assuming I could save the money and do it myself as I've installed car stereo systems in my other cars....but this is a little different. Were you...

    Installed Trailer Hitch Pictures

    Update to my issue I called etrailers and explained my problem and have since realized the true problem at hand. The hitch itself was either severely damaged during shipping or simply built incorrectly. One of the mounting plates was rotated or twisted about the axis of the hitch itself as...

    Installed Trailer Hitch Pictures

    Hidden Hitch I just bought my hidden hitch from etrailers this week and it arrived last night. Like a kid all excited with a new toy I had to go out and see how it 'fits' under my 2008 CX-9. When I put the hitch up underneath it seemed like there was about 1" or a lil more of extra space...

    Are there many others with this issue on an 08? I have an 08 FWD Sport and can smell the anti-freeze almost reguarly when I park it in the garage. I get out and walk past the hood and can easily smell it! I haven't seen a leak yet but it's interesting to hear that others do have this issue...

    Mile Per Gallon!!!!

    Weathertech Mats

    I just bought the Front floorliners for my CX-9 from Weathertech. As all others have said they fit great and cover more area than the factory carpet mats. I remember reading on one of the threads that some of you were contacting McNeil directly before these mats were available. As of now they...

    Duration to Start Motor?

    Seems OK now? Well, I don't know if it was temperature related or just a fact that the CX-9 hadn't been run very much since it had been on the lot for a while; but it seems ok now? The issue lasted about 2-3 weeks or so then went away? Even though it's getting colder out now it doesn't seem...

    Duration to Start Motor?

    Has anyone noticed that it seems to take longer for the motor to start than other vehicles? My wife is driving our CX-9 and she told me a few times that it won't start on the first try....almost every time she drives it! I simply told her that she wasn't holding the key turned long enough and...

    Tow package - can it be installed aftermarket?

    Towing Options I asked the same question to the dealer when I bought my CX-9 last night. They did not have any 08's with the towing package..I asked if it could be added and they told me it was a factory option and not available on the Sport model that I bought. I did find some aftermarket...
