what's up with Mazda?

[zoomcool80]

How come Mazda is the ONLY car on the market that does not have a standard MP3 player built in...
EVEN a 15K cnd car like the Toyota Yaris has one...
This is so weird!!!(drive2)

 

[utopia]

it has an auxillary jack for mp3 players, bout it

 

[TheDutchGun]

I was about to say I didn't have it either but I thought about it and I definitely do.

 

[MM3Canuck]

Should have both!!! Jack + MP3 cd player

 

[Hikaru9]

You're one of many to complain on the matter (including myself).

I enjoy driving my MS3, but that's probably the biggest gripe I have with the car.

 

[k-lea]

Probably because the Kenwood sucked at life. Build and learn.

 

[gimpo2]

the MP3 plays mp3's, i think the MSP plays mp3's too.

 

[k-lea]

BUT, what happened with those? BOTH Kenwood, BOTH crap out after a while.

*I take back the MP3 crapping out*

 

[miss_steele_msp]

Ha HA HA. The msp's have mp3 players.

 

[gimpo2]

i think the mp3 headunit is fine. the msp one sucks

MP3 player

did it come in standard... i know there is a 6disc cd changer MP3 player.. but that thing cost over $800CND....

Some of us (me) dont give a crap about a MP3 player. I dont even own one. I would rather pop in a CD or listen to Sirius Radio.

I miss having an mp3 cd player. In my Escape I have a Sony explode head unit w/mp3 cd player. It was nice to be able to put so many songs on a disc. And also to have such a variety on each disc. I know I can put 6 regular cds in the Mazda, and switch from disc to disc, but it's just not the same.
As far as being able to use my Rio, I find it kind of inconvenient that the jack for it is in the armrest. If I want to change the album it's kind of hard to do so.
I still love my car though

 

[Karma_hunden]

Yeah, I always b**** about my ipod reception until i hit 3k+ and feel the turbo...then i just smile.

 

[Choot]

I don't give a crap about an mp3 player standard. I wish it had Bluetooth!

And some of us like having an entire bands catalog on one CD.... or 8 + bands on a cd. Its rediculous that its not even an option but they throw in a pos navigation unit.. I'm pissed I have to buy a gay ass ipod now because this car completely missed it's target audiences audio needs

iPod. CDs are so limited.
