4 Camera 360 Birds Eye view

Just wiping the rear camera after rain/snow is tedious enough, as long as I won't have to clean all 4 cameras. Anyone knows how well Nissan's self-cleaning system works (http://www.carscoops.com/2013/06/nissan-debuts-intelligent-self-cleaning.html)?
But frankly the sideview mirrors are almost good enough to cover the two sides, the rear camera is wide-angle. I don't think the bird's eye view is much of an improvement, just more things to break down and repair costs.

Agree, didnt think about the repair in case of damage or malfunction. I used to worry about vandalism to the rear camera on my CX5 but now I see it as a standard feature on many cars.

Agreed! Like 8-way power seat, more luxurious CX-9 used to have this feature but was taking away on new 2nd-gen CX-9! I've seen this feature on CX-5 in Taiwan so this's another "penny wise, pound foolish" decision made by Mazda North American Operations against US ustomers.
Wonder if it can be retrofitted.

Auto Tilt-Down Passenger-side Outside Rearview Mirror
I believe this auto tilt-down feature on passenger-side outside rearview mirror is somehow related to power folding outside rearview mirrors on Mazda's. When this auto tilt-down mirror feature is disappeared from new 2nd-gen CX-9, so as the power folding mirrors! As discussed before, retrofitting the power folding mirror is not an easy task even if you can get all the proper parts from other left-hand-drive countries. In order to make auto tilt-down works, we'd need at least modify some software within power mirror control module, and make the gear shift data available to the module.
