Daytime Running Lights Mazda CX-9 by winnapaug

Can someone tell me how to activate the daytime running lights? The CX-9 manual says only that they are required in Canada and come on automatically when car is turned on. Perhaps they wire the car differently for Canada sales.
 
I am in NY, however, and would like to use them. I have tried all lighting switches, and can't get them to come on. Is this something a dealer has to tinker with, or is there a switch or action I am missing?
 
Thanks for any comments.

First, you are on the wrong thread for that question.
Second, there is no DRL for US model, AFAIK.
Usually the wiring is different for the headlight. DRL uses 1/3 brightness of far lights.

Since you given some good info, I won't take offense at your needling the thread.
 
I may ask dealer if he can somehow duplicate the DRL used on Canadian issue vehicles; can't imagine it could be that complicated.

tucsonans,
You jumped to conclusion. The original post was in a wrong thread. Tidester (our host) created this new thread for it. I stand by my statement. I am very mature.
I merely pointed out his error and provided info as much as I know. He didn't even apologize for it. Who was inmature? Me?

Trailer hitch? by chrisgoodall

Has anyone bolted on an after-market hitch to a CX-9? I want one for carrying bicycles, not towing. I need the roof-rack for a cargo box.
 
Thanks!

I did.
 
I had Hidden Hitch I purchased from etrailer.com.
On Youtube, you probably could find a video of installation.
If not, go to etrailer.com search for "MAZDA CX9 Hitch".
They have a video. The installation is easy if
(1) you have another person help you hold it up
(2) you have jack stand to replace (1)
A torque wrentch is highly recommended since you need to tighten it to 75ft-lb.
 
I will used it for bikes also.
