#162 of 187 In-Dash 6-Disc CD Changer Question by zaheer Jun 29, 2009 (10:45 pm)
Hello,   I just picked up a CX-9 today with the Rear Seat Entertainment System / Bose Audio and the GT Assistance Package and found out that the CD Changer is no longer there since the car has the GT Assistance package. The car I test drove had a 6-Disc CD Changer but no Navigation. Adding the Navigation apparently downgraded the CD Changer to a single CD player.   Does anyone have the detailed information on this ? It is disappointing to pay for an upgraded Bose stereo, DVD and Navigation and lose the CD Changer. Any ideas or suggestions on getting a CD Changer integrated will be appreciated.                                         Zack Replies to this message: howardru (Jun 30, 2009 2:46 am) zaheer (Jun 30, 2009 8:07 am) ceric (Jun 30, 2009 8:53 am)

Replying to: zaheer (Jun 29, 2009 10:45 pm) Just reviewed the CX-9 Sales brochure for the 09 CX-9 and the feature/functionality matrix clearly states 6CD is not available with Touring Assistance or Grand Touring assistance package. Not sure why they do this. No one has pointed this out before.   However, who needs CDs when you have the iPod AUX or integration kit? Many more options with an old IPod sitting in the center console.   Congrats on the new CX-9, I'm about to pull the trigger on a CX-7 for the wife.

Replying to: howardru (Jun 30, 2009 2:46 am) You are right about the brochure. It does mention the unavailability of the CD changer in a footnote. My mistake in not reading all the footnotes.   You would think that they could have put the CD Changer in the trunk with the Subwoofer when you upgrade to the Bose sound system. I am bummed out about the fact that I have a great sound system but have to keep inserting individual CDs. The iPod option is ok but I still prefer the sound reproduction from CDs. I hope that Mazda will address this issue in future models. Replies to this message: ceric (Jun 30, 2009 8:53 am)

Replying to: zaheer (Jun 30, 2009 8:07 am) Upgrading to NAVI also gives your CD changer the capability to read MP3 disc. This is not so for non-NAVI version, I think. Look for a small logo of MP3 at top left corner of the CD slot. You can burn 200 songs onto 1 disc with 128kps.   I agree. To picky ears, the SN ratio of CD is still better than 128kps. Raising it to 256kps will be very close, though. Higher bit rate gives you better reproduction of high frequency sound.

Replying to: nunman216 (Jul 01, 2009 7:50 pm) Apparently only the Nav system CX-9s can do Bluetooth/A2DP. I'm using my AUX input, which is fine...but it definitely would be more convenient with A2DP. Replies to this message: ceric (Jul 02, 2009 12:04 am)

Replying to: mveloso (Jul 01, 2009 10:26 pm) The quality of A2DP depends on the chip implementation and protocol negotiated between both parties. In the worst case, there must be a commonly accepted protocol, which has so-so quality. If both can accept a higher-end protocol, the quality can be better. In general, CD will still outperform. High bps MP3 may come in second, then A2DP.   Besides, A2DP drains battery joice like crazy. Your cell phone better be plugged in when you do that. In that case, what is the point?

Replying to: redheat13 (Jul 17, 2009 8:40 am) what year CX-9 do you have? 2009 should have no problems with this (at least mine doesn't).
