Replying to: vbbuilt (Jun 22, 2007 4:37 am) ...Although I guess the real nitty-gritty starts on page 6. The iPod interface instructions had the same business about removing the center console (the sheets prior to 6), but I never could figure out why. I was able to get the radio out, connect the part to the radio, stow the part in the dash, run the cable to the glovebox, and get it all buttoned back up through only the center bezel area. I did drill a hole in the side wall of my glove box to run the cable through - since the hole is smaller than the "big" iPod connector, it prevents the cable from falling back into the dash. I'm not sure taking all the rest of those dash/console pieces out would have prevented me from drilling the hole, though.

I began to concentrate at the "B" points since those directions indicate they is first. Am I just being too easy? I will NEVER hear the end of it from my wife if I scratch or tear the plastic. Thx.

Replying to: cx7mike (Jun 23, 2007 2:34 pm) Mechanically, I've had no problems thanks to several of the posts above. Electrically, I'm at a stand-still. There are no wiring diagrams available for the stereo and I don't know which wire to tap into to pull the ACC+ power from. I'm a little "green" when it comes to this part. Any suggestions for the wiring? Recommendations? Has anyone else tried this? If not, I'll let you know soon enough (hopefully)">

Replying to: maltb (Jun 27, 2007 1:08 pm) The FM Modulator when switched on completely clears out the FM transmission from the antenna and allows a direct-wired connection from the iPod to the factory radio. It may not use the Bose Centerpoint, but it still has great sound. Very inexpensive installation job to have full functionality of my iPod. |

I've searched all over and can't find this topic on here, so I thought I'd try in the "audio" thread. Has anyone replaced the stock HU in a Grand Touring edition, where the climate control displays are in the upper info display? I want to make sure if I buy a GT that this information will still show & work with an aftermarket HU. I really want to add a Navi HU like the Pioneer D3, I assume the clock will not work as someone with a Sport edition told me his didn't after replacing. I can live w/o the clock, but not w/o knowing what temp my hvac is set at!  Anyone done this, or can direct me to the proper thread for this info? Thanks!!

Replying to: jazztrane (Jul 29, 2007 1:31 pm) I haven't done this myself (I am too "old-school" for NAV, and I love the stock stereo) but it seems to me that Mazda probably uses the same display for all CX-7s, and since you can get the Bose without the auto A/C, it stands to reason that the radio and HVAC displays are independent. Good luck! -c92 |
