Just got my CX-9 this week. I have the Rear DVD, Sirius, Nav, so my ports are all pretty used up. In fact, my dealer was saying that you could not get the Sirius with the CX-9. I called the customer service line and they said that there had been a problem with the Sirius taking up the iPod port. They have a unit that you could buy from a dealer to fix, but he sent me a $150 service voucher to cover the switch and install fee. I think Mazda is seeing it asa goof in the design and this is the no fee fix.

By the way, love the CX-9. One week old on Tuesday!

Hi Amy....

Are you saying you have Sirius... but it's not working? We installed Sirius and the switching box so the customer would still have access to the Aux port... both are now functional...

Congrats on the CX(y)~9.

 

I will be getting the Sirius installed this week. The vehicle I purchased did not come with it, so the Service department ordered it and will install next week. At that time, they will install the switch box at no cost to me. I am fortunate to have found a great dealership! I love my 9!

So the best that we can expect with the Nav, Sirius, and Rear entertainment (optional) is the AUX input providing we have the switch box installed? Is the switch box and Sirius tuner a Bose product? I'm wondering if there is another switch box that has the proper port for true iPod input... Anyone?

Thanks in adavance,
Craig

 

The switch box allows for both the Sirius and the iPod. Without the switch, you have to choose one or the other. Again, Mazda customer service will give you a credit for the switch box for free if you call them. I will probably never use the iPod, but I'm getting the box anyway, since it's free.

I'm not sure who the maker of the box is. I do have the Bose stereo system, and it works great.

Someone earlier had a post of a product he'd found on ebay... that's supposed to do both... Unfortunately I dont have one in stock right now so I can't check who the manufacturer is...

I'd do the same to Amy... you never know... having more is always a lil better than having less... I'm glad you're happy with your dealer to... we don't hear enough "praise" for the good ones...

and good for customer service for stepping up... I'll be interested in finding out if there'll be a notice at all indicating an offer...or if it'll be on a case by case basis...

 

So, if I have purchased the iPod module, Mazda will provide the switchbox free?

I would call Mazda Customer service and check. They were incredible for me. Worth a shot!

I just got back from my dealer for the first oil change. They double checked with Mazda and their rep and they said that the aux switch will not work with Sirius and Nav.. Other people have stated that this combination should work. Right?

Thank you,
Craig
