I have used it and it leaves a lot to be desired. The display only gives you playlist/folder/track numbers, there is no text. While you can bump between tracks with the steering wheel controls, charge your iPod and the sound quality is good, you lose 95% of the user interface.

Is it possible to add the system? Is the car wired for it just needing the mirrors and black box(s). Thanks

I'm still waiting to receive my CX-9 GT, but already started searching accessories.
 
Has anyone done any research on the invisible bra? I know 3M makes them, but I've found other sellers on ebay and the costs are all over the place.
 
I'm also interested in the MP3 adapters. I had asked the dealership to install the iPod converter, but then remembered my son has a Zune, so the cost doubled. I found connector kits that hook into the main port (of both the zune and ipod, then into the Aux and into the power output. Any experience with these?
 
What about vent visors? The moon roof is not in stock because my dealer said Mazda is switching manufacturers and the door visors are not even produced. Has anyone found sources for these?
 
Thanks for all your help and advice.

Thanks for posting the site
mazdaparts.org
Very good price for Mazda accessories.
Also, free shipping (>$100) and no tax for my state(CA).
Can't beat that!
 
Does any one know what the accessory, "Rear Finisher", do?
From photo, I can't really tell. Any comments?

Someone posted previously that the rear finisher is the chrome accent below the Mazda emblem; it is standard on the GT.

Thanks.
I figured this out last night thru google. What confused me was the part about "color-matched"...
 
The accessory booklet should clearly state which models any accessory applies to.

installing FOG LIGHTS by danisride

I have the touring AWD and am contemplating about installing the fog lights on my own. I think its a plug and play scenario since the vehicle has the slot to install them into. Can anyone shed some insight into what this project involves or installation instructions?

I am also interested in knowing how to do that even though I have the GT with fog lights. I am adding protective films to the lights, both front and rear and including the fog lights. For the front, they are for protection as I had cracked fog lights on all my other cars including a BMW 528 and an ML 320 with the sport spoiler. The protective films are from lamin-x and they have exact cut-outs for CX-9. I have already put on the rear lamp assembly and I chose the smoke version to darken it and hid some of the chrome. From the back, my CX-9 definitely looks more sporty and less chrome-y (if there is such a word). For the fog lights, I ordered the yellow tint but I need to get to the whole lens in order to properly install the film so I would like to get some installation as well as de-installation instructions.

Gentex Auto-dimming mirrors by 16ue
Mar 07, 2008 (1:15 am)

I came across this site www.mgtmotorsports.com and they sell a full line of Gentex mirrors, which seem to be identical to those available as Mazda parts. It includes ones with homelink as well as the one with the backup camera. I was actually shopping for a mounting mechanism for my wireless park-asist system and this website also sells a mounting bracket that will fit any Gentex mirrors.
 
By the way, if anyone has the homelink mirror option, that unit uses 3 wires: a switched +12v (which also powers the meters controlled by a10A fuse), a direct 12v (which also powers the interior controlled by a 15A fuse), and a ground wire. You can therefore tap power for gadgets such as radar detectors.
