Replying to: epicard (Feb 07, 2008 1:37 pm) One of the preprinted pamphlets (#9999-92-cust-cxp-08) "getting to know your CX-9" reviews features on the car. In the audio system section it states, and I quote. "Bose Centerpoint surround sound expands the two-channel stereo mix of conventional CD's, MP3-encoded CD's and (when played from the rear seat entertainment system) DVD's encoded in two-channel stereo into five channels." Obviously there is a major screwup here on Mazdas' part. I have called Mazdas customer service at 1-800-222-5500 and spoken to "Austin" who never gets back to me with an answer. As far as I am concerned, I was sold an audio unit capable of playing MP3 encoded CD's and I will settle for no less than that. Especially as their own owner info confirms the ability of Bose system as an mp3 encoded cd player. Love some feedback on this. Roger

As an update, I got my hands on the installation instructions for both Sirus and the iPod Integration Module. In the end, both have a 16-pin connector that fits the back of the stereo. So, you can have one or the other, but regardless of what you pick, the addition of the Switching Box allows the retained use of the Aux. All right on with what you said Maltb. So, in closing, does anyone have the iPod Integration Module, and more importantly, does anyone have it installed with the NAV system? There has got to be someone out there...

Replying to: rmullette (Feb 15, 2008 8:17 am) The way the audio system was integrated in the CX-9 just blows. Sounds like last minute additions. You don't see the new Highlander or the MDX or RDX having problems like these (and by issues I mean bluetooth not working correctly through the audio, and having an AUX-in that is not enabled at the factory if you have Sirius. It's ridiculous in what is likely their flagship vehicle). |

Replying to: tucsonans (Feb 15, 2008 11:14 am) I'm sure the same setup would work with the Mazda iPod option; but it doesn't support text (it might be easier to control from the steering wheel than the Dice though - I've never used it). I posted detailed info over at the mazda247 forums a couple of weeks ago. -Jeff

Replying to: jdoering (Feb 15, 2008 2:33 pm) Only complaint I have is that Mazda iPod features suck (no text) and third-party (Dice) integration with Mazda controls is decent but no better than that (they have quirks from trying to emulate a Sat radio unit for their iPod adapter and their tech support complains that the Mazda headunit is "weird" to try to send text to). Maybe the Nav unit and it's software has fixes for the issues others are seeing... -Jeff |

Apparently finding CX-9s with DVD's is a challenge. Anyone have experience putting in (or having put in an aftermarket DVD system? thanks, m
