Anyone have the details on this mazda stock replacement MP3 CD unit?

Thanks all

what details do you want?

I have one installed from the dealership.

i was intrested in how it displays the titles, how many CD's it holds, price etc.

Thanks all

I think it will read and display ID3 tags.

It will hold a single CD. It will display the ID3 tags on the center console with a few limitations on length and character types.

I don't recall what I paid for mine. A search here might provide you with more information.

It will display track name, folder name, ID3 tag (vs. 1.x only) album/artist/title on the red display, alternates between them by the press of the "disp" key. It only display the first ten or so characters, you have to rotate the text knob to display more.

I it'll also read and display CD Text data similarly if you care.

My g/f bought me mine for Christmas two years ago from Trussville Mazda. I'm not sure what the price is since then, but I think she paid around $300.

The install was a pain, but we did it ourselves. Actually I just removed the head again yesterday to do an amp install and it was a lot quicker the second time around. The first time took me forever because I didn't want to damage anything, this time was about a half hour.

how does this work if you have the 6 disk changer?

I should actually ask if you can do this upgrade if you have a shinka with sirus?

cool, ill be getting her one of those

Baywatch: it replaces the 6cd changer...you'll have a single disc MP3 unit, nothing more.

And I'm not sure about the sirus...but I'd be willing to bet they didn't change too much about the head's operation...you may, however, need a newer HU firmware so I'd ask first.

The single disc MP3 player will upgrade ANY Mazda vehicle 2001-2005 with modular audio HU's, no firmware upgrade required. Only some 03' and 04-05 vehicles will display ID tags including RX-8 :) older (01-02) HU's will play MP3 but will display like basic cd.
