Wiring Harness - This one allows you to hook up the old radio on a separate plug so the time and display info can be changed without removing the after market radio.

Amazon.com : METRA 70-7903T - Radio Harness Into Car - Mazda Wiring Harness 07-UP : Computer Internal Components : Electronics

Dual Din Dash Kit - NOt sure why it says 2009..but my CX9 is 2012/3 and it fits
Amazon.com: Metra 99-7516B Single DIN/Double DIN Installation Dash Kit for 2007-2009 Mazda CX9 (Black): Electronics

I did not have problems with the install with these parts ready. I even got the backup camera working.

Bro, with your Pioneer Head unit, can you edit the clock as well as toggle the fuel consumption computer info on the top console display (the one above the HU)?

No I can't. That's why the harness I bought has two plugs. One of the plugs can be used by the old head unit so that you can adjust the clock without removing the aftermarket unit.

Thanks for sharing the parts and links to Amazon. The A/C didn't work when they replaced it with the aftermarket HU. After comparing the connection with the OEM HU, they found out that the harness should be replaced. I'm not sure what parts did they order online, but I will share this to them. My backup camera was also replaced with a Kenwood brand. Mazda said it's better compared from the OEM unit that they installed from Sonny.

Here's the Pioneer HU that's being installed in Mickeys. Right now I'm back to the replacement Android OEM while they wait for the parts delivery.

So how's the latest kodo design face lifted version? Any mechanical differences?

Any owner here of the new Kodo CX9 perhaps to share experience in this forum? Any difference from the previous Aero model?

What is your fuel choice for the CX9? They found carbon deposits in my car which was causing the engine noise. It looks like premium fuels like XCS is not compatible to CX9's engine.

I don't really have a preferred choice. Kung saan abutan.

Did they find the issue during routine maintenance?

Not really. They've been investigating my engine noise since last year and it looks like the fuel is the culprit. You might want to have your engine checked for carbon deposits on your next PMS.

Used to always load up with XCS. Pero Mazda C5 SA (mukhang he knows a lot about CX9) suggested to use 91RON only, preferably Shell or Caltex. He said CX9 engine is optimised for 91RON fuel. Though I can feel more response and power with XCS(95RON). There were several cases daw of engine noise with CX5, and common pattern is they use Petron XCS.

Been using Shell 91RON ever since.

Suggest you try muna strict 91RON either Caltex or Shell and observe.
