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.

Thanks for the info. I did see that video and it looked like a no-brainer. Finally, I'll be able to put that torque wrench to use! And I think my pop has a couple jack stands.
 
Thanks again,
~Chris

I checked with the dealer and they said there's no way that they could turn on the Daytime Running Lights (DRL) because it's NOT an option on the Electronic Control Module (ECM) for US cars. However, I was able to re-wire the relays to have my fog lights turned on with the ignition so they've become my DRL and they've been working well!

Chris,
With 2009 models, you actually can now purchase OE hitch (class II). The OE hitch opening is positioned higher through the rear bumper (OE bumper has a cut-out mark looking from inside to cut out for the hitch). You can find one on eBay.
The downside is that the OE hitch is much more expensive, but it integrate more nicely with the bumper. Just a thought. That was not an option in 2008. i.e. I had no such choice, then.
