Replying to: ceric (Jan 25, 2008 2:05 am) Someone posted previously that the rear finisher is the chrome accent below the Mazda emblem; it is standard on the GT. Replies to this message: ceric (Jan 25, 2008 10:41 am)

Replying to: maltb (Jan 15, 2008 4:39 pm) Very good to know - I guess the AUX port it is....

Replying to: vinsuz (Jan 25, 2008 4:56 am) 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.
#42 of 84 installing FOG LIGHTS by danisride Mar 06, 2008 (5:54 pm)
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? Replies to this message: 16ue (Mar 06, 2008 11:23 pm)

Replying to: danisride (Mar 06, 2008 5:54 pm) 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.
#44 of 84 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.
#45 of 84 Accessory installation guides by ceric Mar 07, 2008 (8:06 pm)
Hi, All: You may find useful installation guides here (including the auto-dimming mirrors) http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123669277 The Gentex mirror is becoming widely used by many automakers. The one on Prius is obviously from Gentex as well. However, each model will need a different installation kit depending on things like rainsensing, etc. Yes, two power lines are needed. The auto-dimming needs the 12V ignition. The homelink needs the constant 12V (works even when the ignition is off).
#46 of 84 Installation Instructions by pulleydog Mar 14, 2008 (4:52 am)
Just an FYI - I purchased both the interior Homelink mirror and the external mirrors with turn indicators from mazdaparts.org and each came with detailed Installation Instructions. I would be surprised if the Fog Light Kit didn't include instructions. Whether they are easy to install or not, is another question.

Replying to: pulleydog (Mar 14, 2008 4:52 am) How do you install the Homelink? I see no wires on these. Replies to this message: ceric (Mar 15, 2008 11:53 pm)
