Turns out i can`t because its too integreted to be kept stock and functioning with an aftermarket,i`m not touching it sorry.I want to keep it factory.I`ll just use the auxiliary input.

this thread almost helped me. a lot of you mention having a 6 cd changer with the bose system. that's what i have in my ms3 and i want to get mp3 capability using oem parts. there is an upgrade to a different 6cd changer with mp3 capability?

according to the product sheet on mazdausa.com there is not...

any help would be greatly appreciated

Exactly, you need to have them order the part number that theman posted everywhere. Should be in this thread.

has anyone done this yet?
i went to the dealership and got the same part number that was posted on the first page...i was also told by the parts department that it wouldn't work. has anyone had any luck?

(ripped) (piss) Its just not worth paying 400usd for a bad CD/Mp3 player/changer and take out the 400usd bad CD changer that no one will buy anyway,so we end up losing 800usd.Its just a disgrace not to have an MP3 CD player in a Turbo charged 28k 2007 model car,any car model for that matter.(piss)
