There are so many great options available... and you could do something KILLER for the amount you'd paid for the tech package. |

Replying to: carlitos92 (Feb 07, 2007 6:45 pm) Besides any other pro's or con's anyone has to offer, I have one question which may be thought of as less significant than other factors: does the iPod link provide any power supply into the iPod for battery charging/recharging purposes? Thanks

Replying to: dmc4343 (Feb 26, 2007 8:56 pm) Yes. It charges. Just keep in mind, it also eliminates your ability to control the iPod directly - you can ONLY control it through the stereo once it's connected. It also doesn't display track or song info, you have to find everything numerically. |

Replying to: robh2 (Feb 21, 2007 6:35 pm) How can they make a vehicle so advanced without this feature. I was going to sell my wife on this car, but I am not sure she will go for it now. What happened here? My 2006 Armada has one!

Replying to: parker4551 (Mar 26, 2007 2:23 pm) Fallback plan is to put native mp3's on CD's and load up 6 of them. That would give you 6 disks x 700MB for a total of 4GB of mp3's. That would cover the capacity of an ipod nano..... I've not done this yet, but it is my plan.......

Replying to: johnny__rf (Mar 27, 2007 4:13 am) Your plan for putting MP3 onto disks is a good workaround. I do that as well. Just one word of caution. Most MP3 software has the ability to record music into subdirectories, several layers deep, as means of organizing music, just like you do on your computer. Unfortunately,the head unit (for those with the Tech Package/Navigation) takes a very long time to read the directory structure on the disk and commence playback. Recommend that you record your music at the root level (not in subdirectories). That way, it takes a minimal amount time for the player to spool up your music. Vince. |

If you check some other Mazda CX-7 forums (I don't know if I can mention "mcx-7 or mazda247" as two forums that may help)  you will see that are work'arounds for the IPods and for the MP3 players. Good luck. |

Replying to: vbbuilt (Mar 27, 2007 5:57 am) Do you know if the deck supports CD-RW format? I would prefer reusing cdrw's vs. permanent burn.
