Hi all,

I have just found out that Mazda is selling an Aux-in module for SGD$99. According to them, they say it is compatible with the RX8 headunit. Did anyone install this? According to the parts department, it is out of stock now.

But my car is a PI one, thus they will not entertain me

That's fantastic, I'm gonna call Mazda to order it right away! Oh wait... I'm out of town and it's already 5:50pm.... bugger!

airspeed

Anymore details? Is it something like the one frm Auxmod? How do we choose aux in then?

amplify

Hi airspeed, i have 1 install (3 month ago). after u install u just select tape/MD buttom. u can hear 2 your MP3 or any audio devices with headphone jack.

airspeed

I installed one myself using the Auxmod. My question is, is the one from Mazda the same? Press the MD/Tape and it shows "Tape ^" as well? Or does it show "Aux"? Maybe Mazda Motors also bought from Syflex?

Has anyone got it from Mazda yet? Are the stocks here? or do we need to place an order with them first?

canman42

hi, just went to MM for servcing yesterday. Asked the Service Adviser and was told that they do not have stock and need to order. Can be done on weekdays only.

When I call on Friday, the parts guy from Mazda say it is out of stock. Maybe we should organise a group buy and get RX866 to buy for us.

sqflyer

Don't think there is any difference in price for "group buy" from MM. Anyway, I'm sure they will ask you for your car's VIN to make sure they sell to MM 8 owners only. Hopefully RX666 can make some special arrangements or pull up some MM 8's VINs to help out the PI 8 owners.

I just called MM earlier today. Parts guy said they tested and checked the Aux Input and it does not work on the RX-8. Anyone else got similar findings?? What's the story here?

Amplify, where did you get it installed? Was it from MM or a 3rd party audio shop? Please let us know where and how much.

Cheers!

Heard that Mazda club guys get it for about $70 and its works with their units.

Just cannot rememeber who i heard it from or where i have read it from.

sqflyer

The parts guy at MM did say that the one they have (out of stock) works on the 3 (or 6 I can't remember coz I stopped paying attention once he said it doesn't work on the 8...lol). So that's why I'm curious to find out if anyone here got his/her aux in mod from MM.

UG_8

Hmmm if it does not work...looks like got to wait for the Aux mod....

ngkenny

bro...listening too much to gold 90.5 ah.....hear only what you want to hear.

i guess the conversation went like this...

sales - the aux unit that you like will XXXX (covers ear) fit the 8, not only that, it will XXX be very smart to install it when its meant for the 3 (and your mind starts wondering what you ate for dinner last nite and when our new exhaust will arrive ).........blah blah...blah......8 is fast......XXX XX X XXXXX X XXXX X XX XX XX 8 XXXX X X X X X XXXXXX XXXX 8 XXXXX 8 XXXX....so it will not be a good idea

flyer - so cannot?

sales - ya...cannot

flyer - say so lah.....waste my time.* duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu *

sqflyer

Bro... that's pretty much how it went except that it went *click* duuuuuuuuuuuuuu straight after "it will not be a good idea".

Damn.. u know me too well oredi. You oso wondering about the exhaust ah? :p

amplify

Yo bro flyer, we do a group buy from oversea with the MCS guy. price wise can't really remenber. Me DIY (very easy 30 - 45 min job, plug & play). but i know that's there is this guy who brought in (after we group buy) some Aux mod and selling cheaper than MM ( from wat he claim, posted on MCS).

if time permit will try come 4 my last meetup after that no more time (expecting 2 be a father some time this week)

Pagin BROTHER matrix11, have u check out the price yet.

sandman369

for me the wait for auxmod was not that bad. about 2wks on wait list, and 2 wks for the auxmod to arrive after payment. all in all, from indication of interest to receipt of goods about 4 weeks.

sqflyer

MM's Aux-In mod doesn't work for our 8s, that's what I've been told by one of the parts guy at MM unless he's wrong. So where else can we get the Aux Mod? Can someone provide some links or contacts persons?

UG_8

Wow this is getting very complicated. Let me summerise...

I DID call Mazda Parts department and the guys DID say the AUX in module from Mazda does work for RX8.

Flyer re-confirm with Mazda and now Mazda say CANNOT work.

If the Mazda Aux in cannot work, than the choice is to get the Aux Mod from www.sylfex.com. I may wait for the Auxmod advance.

OR

From Amplify's source from MCS.

* If you look at the Japanese website

http://www.mazda.co.jp/customize/web_cat/rx-8/rx-8.html

Top right hand side choose Audio System.

At the bottom right you can see what seems like an Aux in. I will check with my PI what is this part....

ngkenny

am i wondering? AM I WONDERING?? what say you bro....

but no need to wonder already...its coming soon. We install together?
