#9034 of 9235 Re: Unlock your car's trip computer! [jc22] by claudius753 Feb 21, 2007 (12:11 am)
Replying to: jc22 (Feb 20, 2007 1:27 pm) I just bought a ScanGauge II for the MPG info on the Mazda3Forums group buy for $139.95. Oh well, I still get all the other info the ScanGauge II displays, like engine load and volts, clear CELs, etc, and I saved $30 off of the regular price.   Anyone interested in getting one, the deal is on till the end of Feb.   Is this hack supposed to make the info display in the IP, or does it show up in the stereo LCD? I'm not sure what you mean by "Set" button, the one that resets your trip odometers, or the one on the stereo?   I'll try this hack this morning on my S Touring.

I have looked at the Mazda website and noticed that it does not say the stereo will play mp3's (cd's with mp3's burned on). This seems like a strange omission given that a $10 cd player from wal-mart will play mp3's.   Is it true, or just an oversight? Replies to this message: davesbrew (Feb 22, 2007 6:04 pm)

Replying to: jc22 (Feb 20, 2007 1:27 pm) "Thanks for Andreas of Mazda3Forums I was able to unlock my trip computer on my 07 Mazda 3. It works for 06 too! Sorry but this hack does not work on earlier models.       1. Press and hold down CD and AM/FM buttons 2. Start your car while still pressing down on those buttons 3. The display will read, "DIS ON" which means Driver Information System On. 4. Release the CD and AM/FM buttons 5. Turn off and restart the car 6. Now press the Set button and cycle through your avg. mpg, miles until empty, current mpg, and avg mph!       Now you can truly know your Real MPG numbers! Which is a mixed blessing!       Please pass this info to others!"   I'm interested in getting DTE on my 2007 CX-9. Any idea is there's a similar hack for it?

Replying to: dudleyr (Feb 22, 2007 7:17 am) I'm not sure about the 07's, but on the 06's, getting a changer that would also play mp3's was a special option. If you opted for the Bose stereo/changer though, that option was not available. I want to say the 07's have an aux input jack, but I am not positive about that.
#9039 of 9235 - by dudleyr Feb 22, 2007 (7:46 pm)
Yes the 07 models have the aux input, which is nice. I would like to be able to just stick in a cd with mp3's, but it is not the end of the world if it won't work. Replies to this message: claudius753 (Feb 26, 2007 10:48 pm)

Replying to: dudleyr (Feb 22, 2007 7:46 pm) I asked Mazda the same question before I got my first 3. Reply:   Nathan,   The 6-disc CD changer that comes in the Mazda3 does not play MP3's. You would have to change it out with one that can be purchased as an accessory.   Regards, Suzanne E. Specialist, Fulfillment   So, no, it won't. Also, I thought CD's with CD Text would work, but they don't seem to work on my 2007 either.   Really, no reason to worry about the text or the MPG readout when breaking your jawbone from grinning so hard after going around some sharp turns at 50 mph and WOT at 5,000 + rpm.   This is not a fuel miser, nor a top economy (mpg) car, but damn is it fun!

#9042 of 9235 MP3 capability in Mazda 3 GS sedan 2007 by rdsglobe Mar 06, 2007 (10:26 am)
Hey,   I was wondering if someone could clear up the fact of whether or not the cd player in the mazda 3 GS sedan 2007 (not with the 6 cd changer) is able to play mp3 cds? I tried playing one last night and it would only show track 1 and would count up and there would be no sound, I dont know if its because of how i burned the cd, or if the car's factory cd cant play it, but the manual says that the cdplayer can play mp3 files. Could someone clear this up for me?   ps. My first new car, and couldnt be happier with it!

Replying to: rdsglobe (Mar 06, 2007 10:26 am) I'm pretty sure that the only way to play mp3's is through the aux jack or by purchasing the special 6disk changer with mp3 capability (not the bose 6disk one though).
