Replying to: mikeha77 (Nov 26, 2007 6:55 pm) Could you tell us how much the factory crossbars cost to buy(and if you asked, how much the dealer wanted to provide and install them)? Thanks.   Ken Replies to this message: 99zoomr (Nov 29, 2007 4:42 pm)

Replying to: kharris (Nov 29, 2007 7:38 am) If you already have the roof rails (which cost $250 not including installation) you can get the factory crossbars for $72. I had the roof rails installed by the dealer (I think it was $50 to have the dealer install them) since my 2007 CX-9 didn't come with them, and installed the crossbars myself when they finally became available. I think it only took me about 30 minutes to install them.
#23 of 86 Re: Cargo Mat [force99] by pulleydog Nov 30, 2007 (9:02 pm)
Replying to: force99 (Nov 23, 2007 11:10 am) I received mine this week too. It does fit great. For gardeners, I can see where this wouldn't be the best choice - all those little depressions to hold dirt.... But unlike what some people mentioned in the Review section of the AutoAnything website, I didn't find the material particularly 'stinky' - but I also have it covered up with all of of my stuff - plus the retractable cargo cover is covering the cargo area, so, maybe it's trapping the smell back there. Anyway - although it's not as 'grippy' as the one from my Subaru, it's a good buy and would recommend it for anyone wanting to protect the cargo area.

#25 of 86 Floor Mats by thaumaturge Dec 01, 2007 (12:29 pm)
Replying to: pulleydog (Nov 30, 2007 9:02 pm) FYI,   I happened to stop in at the MacNeil (WeatherTech products) factory store today in Illinois. They told me that inventory will be available soon for the CX-9 front floor mats, +3 weeks for rear, and probably +9 or so for a cargo mat. Design is done, molds are in progress.   They showed me a picture of the front mats and they looked terrific - fully molded to the contours of the floor. The fronts will go for ~99.00, don't know about the rest.   He was also unsure about the cargo mat covering the 3rd seats when down, but he knows they offer others in that configuration, so he was optimistic.   As I was local, he's going to have front mats shipped to me from the factory in Kansas next week, so I will post a picture when I get them. I'm guessing they should hit their web site next week as well. Replies to this message: denyrunner (Dec 09, 2007 3:45 pm)
#27 of 86 CX9 Cargo Mat by denyrunner Dec 09, 2007 (3:45 pm)
Replying to: thaumaturge (Dec 01, 2007 12:29 pm) Would like some feedback on getting a cargo liner for the back. I want a liner to handle my ski accessories (boots, etc..) that are wet, my labs which are also wet 1/2 the time. Something to protect the back. I have seen some full liners but they look either too ugly or like too much trouble unless there was one you could leave in all the time. I want it to fill the space between the 2nd row of seats and the back with the 3rd row of seats tucked away. A rubber mat would also be good. Anybody bought any good 3rd party products out there?
#28 of 86 Accessory Installations by pulleydog Dec 14, 2007 (5:22 pm)
Just thought I would share my recent experience with others that might be considering adding some accessories to their CX-9.   Since my last 4 vehicles had heated Cloth seats, I was bummed to find the CX-9 didn't offer heated seats in the Sport model. So I had my local 'Auto Trim' dealer install the heater for me. It works well - almost too well! Within 10 minutes I have to turn it off because it feels like my butt is on fire. The brand they use is Webasto in case anyone is interested; http://www.webastoshowroom.com/seatcomfort/   Also, I had purchased a few accessories, as mentioned in an earlier post, from www.mazdaparts.org - a few of these a installed myself; Splash Guards and Hood Deflector (easy installations on both), but I also purchased the external mirrors with the integrated Turn Signals, and the Auto-Dimming Homelink/Compass Mirror. I originally planned to have a Mazda dealer install these for me. I called 3 different dealerships and received labor quotes between $300 and $350 to install the 3 mirrors. A little high if you ask me....so I even thought about installing these myself to save some cash.   When I called the Auto Trim shop to make the appointment for the seat heater installation, I happened to mention the External mirrors I had purchased and asked if they could install something like that - they said 'Sure'. Both mirrors came with the Installation Instructions, so that was a plus. When I went to the appointment I also brought the Auto-Dimming mirror with me too and asked if they could install that too. "We sell and install these all the time" was the response.   It took about 3 1/2 hours for everything to be installed - the Seat Heater taking the longest because they had to remove the seat to install the heater (I only did the driver seat, since this is my 'work' vehicle and I rarely have anyone else in the car with me).   When it was time to pay the bill, I was pleasantly 'shocked' at the price - $300. That was for everything; parts and labor for the heated seat, and labor to install the 3 mirrors. Now granted, these were installed by a 'non' Mazda dealership, but I felt comfortable that they could do the work just as well as the technicians at Mazda. So although there is a risk to having them do the work, the fact that they also warranty their labor for a year puts my mind at ease. And I saved about $250.   I wanted to share this in case others wanted to add some of the OEM Accessories but didn't want to get raped on the labor charges by the dealerships. There ARE other options.
#29 of 86 Rear DVD & Moonroof by jfinis Dec 27, 2007 (8:56 pm)
Wondering whether anybody over there in the US has managed to install a rear DVD with moonroof in the CX-9.   Here in Australia the CX-9 has just been released so the local knowledge of what can and can't be done is limited. Unfortunatly the upmarket model with leather seats comes with the moonroof as standard, and rear DVD is not offered as an option. A fitter of aftermarket DVD players was telling me that intergrating it with the sunroof would be complicated and expensive and also Mazda requires a CAN Bus adapter so that they can tap into the electronics. Are you aware if one is available or it is even required?   Prefer the roof mounted DVD, but I guess on the back of seat would be an option, but the CAN Bus would be still an issue.   Really love everything about the car, but this one issue regarding DVD and moonroof is holding up the purchase.   Any input would be appreciated.

Replying to: jfinis (Dec 27, 2007 8:56 pm) I had talked to a local dealer about this, since I had similar concerns if I were to purchase the CX-9. He has done many aftermarket installs with moonroofs (bigger screens, even). Told me something about how Mazda uses these longer bolts for their built-in DVD player which interfers with the moonroof, but aftermarket solutions do not have the issue (I believe some mount brackets to the side of the player). People on other forums have had this done.   Not sure about the CAN Bus. Sounds like you might have to talk to a few more dealers, or other shops. I know for a fact that certain headrest DVD players are sold for the CX-9, with matching color for the black or sand leather, so obviously they must have figured this one out (see here for example)
