If you don't have NAV or Sirius, what features do you have to lose by installing the iPod interface? I have a CX-7 optioned similarly (nothing but the Bose stereo as far as A/V toys) and have grown to really LOVE the Mazda iPod box. Is it perfect? No. But for the CX-7, at least, the vehicle audio display is the limiting factor, and no reasonable amount of aftermarket trickery is going to make a better-integrated system. If you're thinking about replacing the whole darn head unit, then I guess the sky's the limit...

c92,
 
The CX-9s have an aux input port inside the center console. Its very well located and well designed for cell phones and iPods. When you install the iPod converter without intalling the switch box, you lose the aux input in the console.
 
For many buyers (including myself) the confusion begins there. The switch box runs an extra $113 or more, plus installation.
 
On the bright side, I bought the Mazda self dimming rear view mirror with compass and homelink, and installed it myself yesterday. After a few moments of apprehension pulling apart such a new vehicle, all went well.
 
For those interested, make sure you buy the correct installation kit! My vendor recommended the wrong kit, and I had to run all over town locating the correct kit.

Brad- Did I read you went to Wayne Mazda? If so, can you message me the sales rep? I'm in Mahwah and can easily take a drive down rt 22. In fact I purchased a Tribute from Wayne Mazda - that one had to go back under the lemon law - that horrid story is for another day and another thread....

Ah. Sorry to add any confusion myself. I guess the aux jack is better than nothing - and a must if you have a "pod" that is other than Apple.
 
Even so, I've gotten used to controlling my iPod through the steering wheel controls, and have even become "playlist-centric," because that's what seems to work best when one has the quantity of songs I do.
 
"On the bright side... self dimming mirror" If that's not a pun, it should be. Good stuff.

No sweat on the confusion. Ideally both inputs would be available! I could learn to use the Ipod integration, or just use the aux jack.
 
But since I am a 90% podcast listener, I was worried about using the integration exclusively and not being able to navigate the podcast menus on my iPod.
 
sometimes the best puns are unintentional!

That's funny, I bought the mirror/install kit from them too, and they sent me the wroing install kit as well. I had to mail it back at my expense, but other than that their prices combined with free shipping are the lowest I could find.

My salesman said it only applies to the special lease offers listed on the Mazda site which would be the CX9 Sport FWD. I am looking at a GT AWD and he said it doesn't apply. I didn't see anything on their site?
 
Thanks
