Belkin Auto Kit in Mazda3?

[then00b]

Well, I won a Belkin Auto Kit on ebay and want to use it in the Mazda3 I am getting soon. Does anyone own one of these? If so, how did you install it? Any tips on how to use it in the Mazda3?

Don't you just plug it in to your cig lighter and tune your stereo to a particular frequency?

^ hes got it.

No, he doesnt got it. The Belkin Auto Kit is not an FM transmitter. It plugs into the 12V and powers/charges the ipod. It has a 3.5mm jack for a line out cable on the unit as well...

well then you will need to refer yourself to this thread and buy the parts listed. (minus the monster icarcharger). good luck finding that maz to alp adapter though. everyone is sold out.

I thought the "Auto Kit" came with everything you needed to get your ipod over your car speaks. i.e. charger, fm transmitter, ...

But I see now that I go to their website that you have to purchase either the cassette or fm transmitter. Go figure! (hand)

belkin DOES make a "kit" that has a fm transmitter built in. unfortunatley its late and the only one i could find comes from monster. you can look at it here
i personally use the monster i car charger which has a 3.5mm jack on so when i can find a damn adapter i can go that route. as of right now i use an itrip.

Mobomelter, I found a place with the PIE adapter. For the PIE adapter, do you need to have a 6-CD Changer or is a One CD Player alright?
Thanks.

 

[mobomelter]

you will need another cable. pm me with the link and i'll send you the link to the cable.

I already know that I need that cable. The link to the cable is on discountcarstereo.com or some site to that effect.

For the PIE adapter, do you need to have a 6-CD Changer or is a One CD Player alright?

It will work with either, I have the PIE module installed with the OE MP3 player.

Thanks for the response.
Mobomelter, I emailed the site and they said it was backordered. Sorry.
However, this site:
http://www.logjamelectronics.com/piemazpcalp.html
has the PIE adapter coming back in stock in 3 days (May 6th). I am trying to decide whether to preorder or not.

 

[mobomelter]

they charge more but they might have it in stock.
