    Flip out key?

    (jacked) I know it's a thread jack but it's on topic, I have a Canadian 2008 Mazda 3 Sport GT and no TPMS. Anyone ever heard of a switchblade with a start button? I just installed the OEM remote start on it and the remote needs a start button. Thanks

    Mazda 3 Sport GT 2008 Poor radio reception?

    According the the workorder, it was the right rear pillard on her 3 Sport GT. It says the cable was disconnected. Could this be a recurring problem on the assembly line?

    MS3 & iPod

    Yes to both your question. You might be able to find a cheaper cable. As for pictures of the oem iPod adaptor, there's not much to show. It's basically a black box that gets glued behind the glove box and connects to the back of the factory radio. The iPod cable connects to the iPod in the...

    MS3 & iPod

    I just installed the Mazda OEM iPod adaptor myself this afternoon. Paid 116.00usd and installation was fairly straight forward... As mentionned earlier, the 1/8" jack will work but it will not charge the iPod. I must admit the OEM iPod adaptor is a little more trivial than I would have...

    Upgraded my wife's Mazda 3 Sport GT (Remote start, Auto dim mirror, iPod)

    Started yesterday afternoon and took my time to make sure I did not break anything such as retainer clips and double checked my work along the way. Started with the remote starter, the biggest challenges were getting the door plastic cover off and getting all them wires to fit inside the...

    The Wiffy will be happy

    Thanks for the info, she really has no other need for the 3.5mm jack other than her iPod right now so loosing it will not affect her. I am curious about the difference in functionality between the OEM and the audiolink though. Where would one go to source the proper audiolink for a 2008? Thanks.

    Anybody install remote start themselves in 2008 Mazda 3 Sport GT?

    I want to install it on my wife's new Mazda 3 Sport GT but the information on the web is sporatic and contradictary. I found the part number: 0000-8F-L10A on eBay but someone suggested that the "A" was superceeded by 0000-8F-L10. Her car came with: Auto tranny Keyless entry Alarm Rain sensing...

    Mazda 3 Sport GT 2008 Poor radio reception?

    Took the radio out but everything is connected properly. I un-hooked it and re-hooked. Might be a placebo fix but I think it's a little better but I still cannot get good receptions... My Audi A4 has no problem receiving the same radio stations here. At least there's a difference in...

    Mazda 3 Sport GT 2008 Poor radio reception?

    We just took it home last night and we notice the reception is very poor. We live about 100 miles from the city but we cannot receive any radio stations. The odd radio station that get through have a lot of inteference. The weird thing is it does not get better or worse if I unscrew the...
