Hello. I have a 2009 mazda 5 GT w/built in navigation and the 6 disc changer. The navigation screen shows an option for "ipod" on the audio source screen but it's grayed out. I want to order the ipod intregration kit but the dealer has no knowledge of this part and how it works. A lot of postings online about the kit are from 2007 and the reviews were terrible. I'm guessing things have changed a bit for the 2009 model.
Has anyone installed the mazda ipod kit with the changer and navigation already present? Have you tried connecting an iphone to it? I don't expect the call audio - i use the built in bluetooth connector for that. I just wonder what I should expect on the lcd nav panel source screen after the kit is installed and how the lcd panel will operate the ipod controls.
I also wonder if I can install the kit myself? The nav panel doesn't look easy to remove.
