Replying to: defreitasm (Mar 28, 2007 8:39 am) So I think any application that creates data disks would work for you. the info is retained in the mp3 files |

I'm almost embarrassed to ask this question but I've never owned a vehicle that didn't have a stop play button on the CD player. Am I missing it, or does it just not have one?

| Thank you Carlitos. I've been doing the same thing by hitting the power button it just seems a little odd. | |

Pleased to report that CD-RW format works in the disk changer. I am finding funny behavior regarding the use of the random key, however. When I am playing in Random mode and I use the advance key to skip a song, it does not advance randomly. It advances to the next song in order. I also tried 2 disks, 1 using folders and 1 not with folders and the Random player does not appear to want to jump folders. Anybody else observe the same thing? Plus there is no indicator when the player is playing in Random mode??? |

Replying to: vbbuilt (Mar 27, 2007 5:57 am) Harmon/Kardon sells a kit called the Drive and Play for about $100 at Best Buy. ($50-$75 on EBAY)(http://www.harmankardon.com/drive-1/default_dp1.aspx). It has both a display and separate hand controller and allows me to charge and keep IPOD in the glovebox. Its is relatively easy to set up, is easy to use (easier than the actual IPOD) and blends in very well with interior of car (especially if you have black with silver trim). It took me about 2 hours to get everything connected and in. And I didn't have to cut any wires or drill any holes. (I power unit through console lighter plug, but may later go find a hotwire connection) I did not like the quality of the wireless FM transmission so I directly connected it to FM radio with optional FM direct connection and found the sound is very good. Getting to back of radio is not really not that difficult (although my wife didnt like the idea) and is as simple as popping the bezel off and removing the four radio screws. On a side note, it took 30 minutes for me just to gain enough confidence to remove bezel cover to gain access to radio, but once I did it was a snap. I certainly understand anyones reluctance to do so.  There is a second version of Harmon/Kardon unit coming out that has a color display for album artwork, has a wireless controller and includes the direct wired FM connection and has more advance skin features. I havn't seen it for sale yet, but am sure it will cost at least twice as much. Until something better comes along, I am completely satisfied with this approach, but admittedly I want to use the big color navigation display. I am begging anyone with connections to MAZDA/APPLE to help out here.

Replying to: cx7mike (Jun 20, 2007 5:40 pm) Taking off the bezel is fairly easy, but you have to be real careful not to scratch the fake metal on it, or the dash behind it. I think there are 3 clips on each side, but I'm not sure. I can't even remember now how I did it, but I think I went from razor blade to screwdriver to kitchen spatula or something until I got the gap big enough to get a finger in. c92
