Replying to: wuster (Jan 07, 2006 5:45 am) Total cost of the project about CDN$110 Installation $0 I prefer this over an installed system because if you sell the car or have to get rid of the car for whatever reason then the system is gone as well. Secondly, I have two cars so I can move it from one car or the other. Thirdly, if an installed system ever breaksdown I would think it would cost alot to fix. Lastly, once you get to wherever your going, for example a restaurant you can take the portable dvd player with you as well. |

Hi. We're going to get a Mazda5 Touring this weekend. We're thinking about getting the moonroof package, which also includes the 6-cd changer. My question...does the 6-cd changer have an aux or PIE input that I can use for my XM unit? On another note (ha, ha...bad pun) does the Mazda5 come with HD radio? Thanks, Gabe |

I just bought the Touring but the ill-informed dealer did not advise me it lacked MP3 capablility and I am required to buy the option. Has anyone attempted and/or know if it's possible to obtain the MP3 6 cd chgr headunit and install yourself? IS it just plug and play for the MP3 unit when replacing the identical existing unit minus Mp3? I am thinking of going this route i/o using an external jack method.

Replying to: mazda5nj (Apr 09, 2006 7:35 pm) HAving said that I would think that the MP3 CD changer is a direct swap for the non mp3 CD changer. Just unbolt the center stack facia (2 bolts at the bottom once you've removed the facia from the shifter console. Then unbolt the stereo and disconnect it. reverse the procedure for the install of the new unit |

Replying to: mazda5nj (Apr 09, 2006 7:35 pm) Could it be possible that enabling MP3 on the stock 6-cd changer is as simple as a switch on the back of the changer or possibly a firmware upgrade?

Replying to: wcollins73 (May 02, 2006 7:01 am) During my M5 test drive, the salesman told me that the standard changer in the Touring isn't MP3 capable, but that the optional one in the Sport is. That struck me as being somewhat strange - why wouldn't you put the most capabilities in your top model? Looks like he was right though. |

Replying to: wcollins73 (May 02, 2006 7:01 am) Anyway, have you discovered anything in the last 3 months? I'm tempted to talk to a Mazda rep about the situation. I'd consider paying the option price for MP3 support - we use it all the time in our VW. |
