Aux plug in by bterrien

To get your aux input to work, you have to get a splitter for your HU. The other option is to remove your sirius equipment and plug in the wire for the Aux input (they both use the same plug). If you decide to remove your sirius equipment, I will purchase it.

Serious, just add an aftermarket unit in it and save yourself the trouble...
 
This is what I put in mine.
The CDX-GT610Ui CD receiver with auxiliary, USB, and iPod inputs, so it's ready to play music from nearly any kind of portable source.
 
Go to installer.com to find out what dash kit and harness you need... its really a no brainer.

Ipod Via Aux Input Static... by vtbrian

Recently picked up my 08 5 door GT w/ the bose package. I'm using my ipod via the aux jack in the center console...and experiencing pretty bad static through the speakers.
I was kind of surprised, I dont get any static through the ipod when using headphones, and AM getting static now over the speakers with the cord plugged into the very same jack in the ipod... is this common? i'm pretty disappointed...

Are you charging the iPod while you are listening? That's the only time I hear any noise when using the AUX input. Have you tried using another patch cord?

I am having the same problem with mine. it happens whether i'm attached through the charger or the jack on top of my ipod. however, it does come and go, almost as if it wants to change with the weather and then drive me crazy. any other ideas?

Sounds like you need a ground loop isolator.
 
(For example: http://www.amazon.com/Xitel-GLI1-X1-Ground-Loop-Isolator/dp/B00023XDYA)
 
There ARE 3.5 pluz g models available, but they're harder to find.

ALC by chickenlips

My 2008 Mazda3 sTouring has ALC - Automatic Level Control that adjusts the radio volume according to vehicle speed. I've had it on all settings and I notice no difference. Anyone else experience this?

I was wondering if there is any way to automatically scroll through station, artist, and title without manually clicking the button and scrolling to see more characters?

I'm noticing mine now. When I bought the car, I had the same issue. What I've noticed was that the audio starts to go louder when I hit 25mph or 3rd gear, whichever is first (I have a stick). Then goes louder again at 50mph, or 5th gear, whichever is first again.

BOSE option and MP3 CDs by gordonwd
Nov 10, 2007 (7:41 pm)
Reply
Our MZ3 Grand Touring will come with the BOSE audio option with 6-CD changer, but the salesman was a bit vague about whether this combo will play MP3 CDs (as opposed to standard audio CDs). There is a separate option for a changer that supports MP3, but it doesn't appear to be quite the same as what comes with the BOSE package.
 
Anyone know if MP3 CDs will play in the BOSE package CD changer?
