    Just bought the same screen. Thank you very much for the clearest, easiest to follow instruction, and for saving me potentially several thousand dollars.

    Do I need to replace the digitizer/screen, or can I just remove it and leave it off? Mazda disables touch screen when driving anyway...I've never used the touch screen so I'd rather save the $300 and leave it off.

    Good question, I didn’t try to remove the digitizer but it didn’t seem like an option, the screen/digitizer was all one piece glued together.

    Yes, there’s a ribbon that connects the screen to the head unit for touch inputs, if you disconnect that then the touch is disabled but screen works through knob

    Hey I have the same car but the Sport Trim has the 7" version of the display. I cannot for the life of me find a replacement digitizer for it without buying a whole new 600+ dollar head unit. Has anybody tried with any luck and found the right size screen? I was considering trying the CX-5 7" but the bezels are different so I'm not sure if it will fit everything inside it the same without looking wrong on the dash. Thanks

    Here's a forum post where someone used the 8" digitizer over their 7" screen and it worked out for them. Not sure about other alternatives myself. mazdas247.com/forum/t/2016-cx-9-7inch-infotainment-screen-repair-update-or-replace.123880598/post-6795581

    I saw that... I guess I have no choice. I thought about doing that and using masking tape to mark the edges and then paint the inside black to hide the gaps assuming the paint won't damage the screen's functionality.@@techbananas69
