#44 of 86 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 86 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 86 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.

#49 of 86 Sirius Radio for CX9 by sellstar1 Mar 16, 2008 (9:11 am)
Has anybody found an aftermarket replacement for the CX 9 Sirius Radio? I looked at mazdaparts.org and found it for $320 or so but that is still way beyond what the market brings for "normal" Sirius installed radios.   I'm in my "don't travel much" season right now but want to be able to install prior to hitting the road again in the fall. Any input would be helpful.   thanks for the info on the cargo mats and mazdaparts!   My 2007 has about 21K miles on it now and running beautifully.
#50 of 86 Cargo Cover Quality Question by horseygirl Mar 18, 2008 (5:12 pm)
My cargo cover is very difficult to pull out and when I do it is all wrinkly especially where it flares out to conform to the shape of cargo area...in the back when fully extended. It has stress creases on both sides. Being that the material seems to be a heavy type of paper rather than vinyl, I know at some point it is going to rip.   The dealership has replaced one and the second one is the same. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?   Thanks!!
#51 of 86 trailer hitch with bike rack by rdawg Jul 21, 2008 (1:35 pm)
I just installed a Curt hitch on my CX-9 for a hitch bike rack. It bolted on really easy, I put the bike rack on, but when I folded the arms out the rack arm bracket just barely clears the Mazda emblem on the hatch. Phew! I added a rubber pad between the rack the the hatch, just in case, there's about an inch of clearance. I even slid the hitch as far forward as the mounting holes would let me when I installed the it.   I have used the rack a couple of times and it has not hit the door. Just an fyi incase anyone else installs one. Replies to this message: investigator1 (Aug 09, 2008 10:14 am) mindleftnumb (Jul 30, 2009 12:16 pm) ceric (Jul 30, 2009 3:26 pm) and 2 more...
#52 of 86 ALL WEATHER FLOOR MATS by jillbarrera Aug 07, 2008 (6:15 pm)
MY OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT INCLUDES THE ALL WEATHER FLOOR MATS ($125), BUT IT ONLY INCLUDED MATS FOR THE FRONT AND 2ND SEATS. NOTHING FOR THE 3RD ROW. I NOTICE IN THE MAZDA ACCESSORIES THEY ALSO INCLUDE MATS FOR THE 3RD ROW. SHOULD I HAVE RECEIVED 3RD ROW MATS. PLEASE SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCES............THANKS Replies to this message: badself (Aug 07, 2008 7:54 pm) ceric (Aug 07, 2008 11:16 pm)

Replying to: jillbarrera (Aug 07, 2008 6:15 pm) If you got the second row, you should have gotten the third, also.
