    2009 CX-9 General Questions

    Auto-dim lights: Press down on the manual knob to disable the auto-dimmer. As you guessed, you'll have to press down on it again at night to let the dimming action resume. What bugs me most about the instrument panel displays is that it's just too dim even in "fully bright" mode on sunny days...

    Gas cap strap

    The plastic bolt that attached my gas cap strap to the fuel door broke somehow. Short of buying another gas cap, where might I be able to get another bolt?

    Do you like your CX-9 Navigation?

    That's what bugs me about the re-route option. There's no ability to preview. I have to say, I was disappointed with how it compared to say NAV units offered by other car companies like Nissan on the Murano and Maxima. Those dudes get higher resolution display, 3D buildings, and even indicator...

    Advice & Questions

    1. We've done two side-by-side; I really don't think three in a row is possible. 2. Introduced in '07, refreshed in '10, my guess is re-design in '12-'13. 3. Don't know. 4. Love the car and all the cool options, like back-up camera that overlays lines to guide you, rain-sensing wipers, free...

    Sorry I went MIA for awhile due to travel, but will definitely give these suggestions a try now that I'm back. Thanks all!

    Cleaning the instrument gauge cover

    So I was trying to clean my hands with some Purell, and when I opened the bottle it shot out some of the gel substance out at the instrument gauge cluster of my 2010 CX-9 GT. Specifically one nice round impact near the top of the speedometer (near 80mph marker). It immediately fogged up at the...

    DFW Mazda Dealers

    I had a decent experience purchasing my '10 CX-9 GT with Bose+Nav for invoice+ttl at El Dorado in McKinney (using S-plan helped too). Only thing is the two times my wife and have been there (for sale and plates), we sure had to wait awhile for someone to come and help us out.

    2010 CX9 Not That Bad

    Definitely agree that not having to fish keys out is a great benefit, just thought it would be nice to have that satisfying push to start feature as well. I know, be happy with what we have. I've only driven it twice at night, and didn't think I noticed any glare reduction. Will pay more...

    2010 CX9 Not That Bad

    No auto dim on exteriors, which is too bad. Other big lack of improvement would be no push-button start, which is sad since the 6 has that as well.

    Centerpoint & iPhone? WTF!!!

    Are you connecting the audio cable to the headphone jack on your iPhone? The appropriate way to connect the iPhone to the aux input is using the iPhone's line out capability which is only available using an adapter that connects to the 30-pin dock connector. You can even find adapters that...

    Heated side mirrors?

    Hi everyone, new 2010 CX-9 GT w/ Nav owner here. I've searched the Owner's Manual and these forums and can't seem to find any info on the heated side mirrors that are mentioned in the brochure and the vehicle sticker? Do they automatically turn on when you turn on the rear defroster? EDIT...

    2010 CX-9 Navigation system

    Do voice commands for nav work while driving, e.g. "find nearest pharmacy"?
