Just wanted to double check, but this will work .. for an IPOD solution if you already have navigation and the sirius radio hooked up???

I think I'll be going with this now. The Mazda switching box isn't designed to have two input signals that are similar to the CD changer or sat, and it doesn't like me when I hook up the NEO kit and the sat radio.

I ordered mine a while back, I am just waiting for RPM to get some of the parts back in stock so I can get mine already!

installed, but no text.
well, successfully installed, but i have no text either. i have the ipod connector cable. it just says MD and the song length and track number. it says to push the 'text' button, and the only text button i can find is the tuner button, when i press it, it just goes to the acl/bass/treble settings...??
connected and disconected multiple times but no luck. the circuit board design fits VERY loosely on the radio, so the zip tie to the radio is a great idea. i just put a wedge between the bracket and board to make it snug-makes it easier to connect and disconnect frequently.
might be faulty unit, so i'll contact axxess or the retailer for troubleshooting. thanks for the hand write -up!
time to install was about 1.5-2 hours.

got it working.
basically, i was pressing the tune button, which says text. the button above that says 'display' gets the text to show up. then use the tune button to scroll thru the titles.
the axxess instructions are a bit vague and confusing, implying that the tune button is the text button (since 'text' is next to the tune button, not the above display button). the display take as few seconds to show up, and after you switch songs, it goes back to MD, but wait like 3 seconds and it goes back to the text.
kind of obvious after the fact, but this info might help if anyone else is confused.
werd. audio quality sounds fantastic! AND it charges the ipod. woohoo

Good question. I'm thinking of running the wire up through the cup holder section. Any other suggestions/pics?

i put the ipod in the map (lcd compartment).-seemed like the easiest way to get it vs. having to take your arm off the arm rest to get it, although i had considered the console area too. the axxess box itself is behind the climate control. plenty of room.

You can always pull the cable out by the e-brake 'till you decide on a location. No holes needed that way....

Good point, I have the factory nav so I can't use the tray on top. I am thinking of getting a proclip mount for it .. I'll figure something out.
I have the same color combo floor coating in my garage - I used Muscle Gloss...
mines that duplicolor kit from lowes or homedepot...
