#83 of 189 Re: High Pitched Background Noise from AUX Input [rmullette] by nxs138 Feb 15, 2008 (1:55 pm)
Replying to: rmullette (Feb 15, 2008 8:17 am) Regarding the CD player having the ability to play MP3's: I was talking to Mazda on an unrelated bluetooth issue, and the person there mentioned some issues with the CD player's MP3 capability. It might be software related (he mentioned something about Johnson Controls), so they definitely know something is up. Other than that, I know nothing else.   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 have Nav + switch box (yes factory Aux is working) + Dice Electronics iPod Integration Kit (rather than the Mazda option; Dice supports text display pretty decently).   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 Replies to this message: jdoering (Feb 15, 2008 2:41 pm)

Replying to: jdoering (Feb 15, 2008 2:33 pm) BTW my 08 with Nav also plays MP3 CDs fine and the bluetooth integration works flawlessly. The MP3 CD supports seems a bit picky on ID3v2 tags and such (but then again a huge number of PC media software programs including Windows itself are really picky on this too)... but overall the discs I burnt (following the Owners Manual instructions on directory structure, etc) work fine although they're a bit slow to load on startup (the manual does warn of this).   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

Replying to: pulleydog (Feb 10, 2008 8:02 am) Bought the Ground Loop Noise Isolater from Crutchfield - the high pitched whine is GONE. $25 with shipping saved me a 1/2 day of wasted time at the dealership - and who knows if they would have fixed it - or charged me to fix it, if they could....?   Thanks nxs138! Finally enjoying my Sirius radio through the AUX input. Replies to this message: nxs138 (Feb 20, 2008 6:48 am)

Replying to: pulleydog (Feb 19, 2008 7:29 pm) Awesome, I'm glad it works! I just bought the switching box last week, have to install it so that I can enjoy the AUX port too. I'll probably just go ahead and order the ground loop isolator, I'm sure I'll get the whine.
#88 of 189 Aftermarket DVD? by mseningen Feb 20, 2008 (8:12 am)
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 Replies to this message: imamg (Feb 20, 2008 8:37 am)

Replying to: mseningen (Feb 20, 2008 8:12 am) Mine has it... but if I wasn't able to get a car with it... I'd planned on going with the headrest system... http://www.invisionindustries.com/default.aspx We've done a couple cars here...and the system is pretty nice... not to mention having more than 1 in the car would be a nice option.
#90 of 189 DVD playback though the Nav screen by rhann Mar 02, 2008 (6:34 pm)
I'm looking for ways to playback the DVD and include the front NAV screen in the playback. I get audio through the front system by pressing the Media button, but the Video does not appear. On our Toyota Sienna, I could get this by putting on the Emergency Brake while parked. It may seem insignificant, but it is nice to see what the kids are watching when I'm waiting for the wife to run a quick errand. Thanks for any feedback or ideas.
#91 of 189 iPod Integration Update by tucsonans Mar 11, 2008 (4:34 pm)
I finally went with the Dice iPod Integration. The cost was $159 and it works as advertised. In the end, it appears this is the only solution if you have the DVD NAV.

Replying to: tucsonans (Mar 11, 2008 4:34 pm) So you get full control of your ipod now? does it also work with your steering wheel controls?
