(assuming that, like me, you have the Bose in the Miata vs. the non-Bose in your Mazda3). Replies to this message: wilzap (Nov 24, 2007 7:46 am)

Replying to: milkey (Nov 23, 2007 9:11 pm) Got the system in both,the MX-5's is a 200 watt system and I think the 3 has a little less power but they sound very comparable,the 3 has more front to rear fade and the MX-5 is mostly front and side, it has a couple small speakers between the seats that don't add a whole lot but they do help, but when the top is down you lose a lot of sound, but with the top up it cranks, I'm assuming there is a big difference between the hardtop over the softop,acoustics and all. I have read mixed posts on the system in the MX-5, some complain about it some like it, all I know is its a lot better than all the systems my past cars came with. I'm happy with it

#26 of 40 CD player ate my CD! by rerednaw Jun 11, 2008 (5:45 am)
2006 Touring with stock CD player. It plays the CD fine, but the ejection system goes 'click-click-click) and the display shows "CD out" when in fact it is still in the player. As there isn't a 'manual eject' the CD is stuck.   I am reading the forums and this appear to be a common issue. Is there any preventative maintenance I can do in the future? I am having the player replaced as it is under warranty, but if it happens again I may opt for a non-stock brand.   Other than that, the car has been great so far.   Cheers.
#27 of 40 Mazda Miata Radio Problem by rmainguy Jul 09, 2008 (9:24 am)
My 1990 Miata's radio works fine on ACC. It stops as I start the car. (only FM AM is OK)   Anyone ever had that problem?   Thanks    Mainguy Replies to this message: ateixeira (Jul 30, 2008 12:19 pm) rmainguy (Jul 30, 2008 2:10 pm)

Replying to: rmainguy (Jul 09, 2008 9:24 am) Weird - maybe the battery provides enough juice but the alternator does not? Replies to this message: rmainguy (Jul 30, 2008 2:10 pm)

Replying to: ateixeira (Jul 30, 2008 12:19 pm) I finally found a bad ground on the antenna.   The radio started working fine but still fails at times.   My next step is to check the ground on the radio unit itself.
#30 of 40 Sirius / XM module by medic481 Jan 06, 2009 (1:24 pm)
Hi- Just bought an '06 MX-5 Grand Touring. I noticed that there is a "SAT" button on the radio console. After quizzing the dealer, I was told the car did not have it, but a $350 plug in module could be ordered and it would cost about $100 to install. Does anyone know about these, and can one be obtained elsewhere cheaper? Can a person with avg car mechanic skills install it? I traded in a Protoge which had an after market XM receiver (dash mount). I suppose I could always install it in the Miata, but having the indash unit would look nicer. Thanks!
