Someone wanted to see how the OEM MP3 looks like with the MP3 trim. I also had to get my stereo panel replaced becaused I broke it :D OPPS

 

cool..looks the same..just with that mp3 decal...

 

looks just like mine... except mine says 6 disc changer where the mp3 logo is lol

 

You still listen to tapes?
Must be at least 5 years since I last played a tape.

 

I had a little question??? I planned on getting my 8 in may for my birthday and would like to add the mp3 player is it possible to get that add on financed with the loan I will be getting??? I talked to a few some say no and some say yes...

 

I'm about to buy a tape player. Tired of FM modulation with XM. Sound quality is horrible.

 

what are tapes? :p

 

Shouldn't be a problem, just get the dealer to install it and add the cost into the price. Although it would be cheaper to install it yourself later.

 

bowman do you know how much your mazda dealer charges on labor? Just curious cause I don't know how to install and don't know anyone who could just figured might as well do at the time of sale if that was possible to get it added to the loan I would be getting

 

An OEM mp3 player is on my wish list for the spring and I'm planning on a DIY install. You may be able to negotiate a good price with car purchase but I wouldn't hold my breath. Below are a couple of links that might come in handy.

haggle with them to see if they can add the tape deck for you for free (you pay cost of tape deck; they cover installation cost)

 

I got my OEM MP3 kit with my car. they swapped the 6 disc and the MP3 player for free.
i had one dealer tell me they were gonna do that and then charge me 200 to install it... you can prolly get it installed free of charge if you press the issue.. i didnt even have to.

 

If you order the car with the mp3 player it comes in like that right off the truck, hence no charge.

It came factory. I didnt want it but they gave it to me no charge. And no I dont listen to tapes I dont remember owning one since I was a baby.

 

They charged me 120 to have the mp3 installed.
