I think the shield will be a good addition but sounds like you'll have to purchase separately.

Just announced by Sure, supposedly "coming soon." Looking forward to pick one of these up. Direct quote: SURE Aeros, Overhauled! -AccessPORT & Hypertech Compatible -New MAF Housing Design -New Dry Filter -Element Shield Available

Well, ventilation kit in, no more smoke, looks good so far. :)

After 14,000 miles, my 08 MS3 started to smoke as well. I took it in this morning. They asked to see oil change records so I showed them two latest ones that was changed with 5W-30. They said they will start with "a kit change" first and see if it fixes it. I assume that's the ventilation kit...

Very nice work so far, keep it up. (yippy)

That's cool. How did you update the firmware? Or did you buy a new version?

If you care about music at all, stay away from FM modulators, doesn't matter how good those are, you are NOT going to get close to the same quality as a direct connection. Yes it's very noticeable.

Mine only has 9000 miles, it's certainly too new to say, but so far nary an issue. I've had several Mazdas before, no problems whatsoever.

Wise advice, Sport6.

I couldn't get the new grom to work on my 8.5, barely audible music with a s*** load of static. Promptly returned it.

It's for sure not easy to do, these guys were mostly pros, except the BMW I think, he kept crashing into the 2x4s.

Was in Japan a few weeks ago and saw some mad drifting skills on display. :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_abVBll6oA

I bought my 2008.5 CWP MS3 Sport from a guy last September, bone stock, with only 4900 miles for $18.3K. That may give you some points of reference.

Maybe what he did was the antithesis of flush? lol

I applaud you for trying to be different but there's a fine line between different and you-could-doesn't-mean-you-should. Reminds of the style in the early 90s, Mexican gangsters rolling around in tiny wheels sticking out like a foot from the fenders, what is it called...anybody?

I cut off one end of RCA cable and connect the appropriate + - wires to the speaker outputs from the HU. The other end of RCA cable just connects directly to the amp.

No, they are different cables. The end that goes into the GROM unit is round. http://gromaudio.com/store/accessories/grom_audio_standard_v2_ipod_dock_cable_assembly_-_5v_charging.html

The only non-OEM as far as I know for now is the GROM unit. They recently released a new version that works with 08-09 Mazdas. http://gromaudio.com/store/usb_adapters/grom-usb2-maz8.html Although I'm very ticked that you have to add an additional iPod cable for $19.75 to the purchase if you want...

I have an aftermarket sub with the Bose headunit. And you do not want to use high level inputs if car is Bose equipped. High level inputs in amps convert high level signal to low level, and since Bose headunits output low level already, it will be low level + low level = garbage.
