Mazda CX9 Owners and Likers Thread

[Balikpinoy]

Are you convinced nabahayan nga ng daga? Meron bang evidence na pinakita sa yo na binahayan nga ng daga? I just wonder how it could happen.

Until I see evidence, I will not just believe that diagnosis? What if loose wiring lang or damaged due to some other reason?

Can you please share what you've seen, in case some others will experience the same. Better if you have pictures.

Hope you can get it fixed at lower cost.

I left the car sa casa and I'll pick it up tomorrow to see the actual damage.

My friend who owns Minerva suggested to try a rubberized tape first. Then when I go to the US later this month, I'll buy the harness.

We do have a rat problem sa garage. I just didn't think they would use the engine bay as a house. I also did not use the car for a week prior to Friday.

Pls take some pics so experts can share their view, baka simple and low cost lang pala ang tamang solution.

Ok. Got the car back from the Casa. 1 month for parts to arrive so I decided to bring it to Martins near ATC. Here's the damage caused by the rodents. Injector wire completely chewed off.



2 hours and 900 pesos later...



Car is back to normal. Check engine light is now off.

Good to hear ok na yung CX9 mo. From P29k down to P900 pesos, that's daytime robbery! Good decision to bring it to Martins.

Anyone tried a different aftermarket headunit like AVT?

I'm having the dealer replace it with a legit GPS system since I didn't want it in the first place.

No, I bought the trim kit sa US plus the wiring harness. I also upgraded the speakers.

The OEM backup camera works.

The only issue is that I can't change the clock and info on the dashboard without reconnecting the old head unit.

I'll buy a harness that will let me connect the OEM radio on an extra plug without disconnecting the aftermarket unit next week when I go to the US.

yes but you have to buy an interface unit for about 80usd.

No A/C problem in my case after the headunit was replaced. Anything specific?

The A/C was not working after replacing the OEM headunit with an aftermarket. They said that it might be caused by aftermarket harness since the A/C works with the OEM HU.

Here's the parts list that I used to change my Head Unit to a Pioneer Dual Din 2550-BT

Interface Module

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.
