Ipod module controls
 
I just got the ipod itegration module installed into my 06 and it is nice but i am a little unclear about using the controls, does any one know the correct functions of the radio controls for the ipod?

Didn't it come with instructions?

I haven't gotten mine yet because I had to spend the money I was going to use to get a new cell phone. :(

SpeedB 12-14-2006 02:05 PM

it only came with instalation instructions

Where did you get this? Is it a dealer accessory? I have an 04 and an iPod I'd be interested in marrying together.

I know there are aftermarket kits for this sort of thing, but I'd feel better about getting hardware officially sanctioned by Mazda.

^ what he said :)

my dealership is offering ipod setup for around $250...im interested

SpeedB 12-14-2006 05:06 PM

this is the mazda integration module , it retails for 250 installed but with my employee price i paid 110 and me and my buddy installed it but instead of having it come out the glove box mine comes out the center console, when you plug it in it shows the mazda symbol on your ipod

Saweet! Please show pics if you can in and out.

i've got one of those a few months ago and i still am having problems trying to navigate. mine is in the glovebox so nobody can see it when i have it in. the little module box i put up underneath the center panel on the dash since there was plenty of room up under there. heres a pic of the kit i got from Rosenthol Mazda.

My mom told me that she was considering getting it for me for Christmas. I get a discount at my dealership so it's only $200 installed for me. :)

SilverEIGHT 12-15-2006 08:16 PM

Hummmmm, my dealer told my $300. Looks like I have a little bickering to do.

look for "iPod Integration Module User Manual - NEW"...you should have gotten these instructions with everything else. Look again. There are installation instructions for every make of Mazda in every language on earth. Buried in this mass of stuff is a manual for usage.................

Stock iPod integration from Mazda has a really confusing/poor user interface. Good luck figuring it out, I am not brave enough to get one to then have to deal with it.

Astral 12-16-2006 12:24 AM

OK, read the top post here. A good summary of how it works.

Rootski 12-16-2006 12:47 AM

Get the Audiolink version from TheRPMStore... you're a damn fool if you don't, it works great and installs cleanly. I drilled a small hole in the latch plug of my center console so the iPOd hangs out in there. Couldn't be happier with it.

Raptor2k 12-16-2006 01:16 AM

This thing is a waste of money. I can't imagine trying to deal with it, like Astral said. Look over its thread in the Rosenthal vendor section before buying.

RotaryP7 12-16-2006 01:24 AM

Your right.. I was going to get it until I read some people's input on what it features and w/e..

Raptor2k 12-16-2006 01:26 AM

Hey, it works great for me. Sounds like all the whiners never tried to hook up a home theater system and if they did would complain that there wasn't some technician in the room with them on retainer yelling "you're watching the TV now!!!"..

Simply leave it in playlist mode, jump to each playlist like you would a CD and listen to your hearts content. The upside being you don't have to contort all over the car looking for new CD's.........

..........Like I said, I love it. Simply saves me an extra step from syncing my IPod and slapping it into the car without having to burn CD's everytime that get lost in the car................

Mine is great.............thanx

volk 12-17-2006 09:57 PM

install the factory casette player and play the ipod through it. Sounds great and looks good too.

The Overman 12-18-2006 01:23 AM

Does anyone know of a similar module for the Zune?
(To volk, it's not about the sound through the system. For that, what you said works fine. It's about controlling the player through the steering wheel controls, changing tracks, etc).

Thanks
