Wiring the stock head unit for auxilary-in

[Rustle]

Hey all,

After a long delay, and a momentary lapse while I tried to figure when the Mazda6 Sport would arrive in North America (next February at the earliest), I just signed the papers for my new P5.

I'm planning to keep the stock head unit in (for now), and I've got a question that I'm hoping someone can answer for me.

The stock head unit has an AUX button that would be connected to the tape deck or minidisc player if they were installed. Is it possible to enable this input manually and hook up a couple of RCAs to it? I want to use it with my PocketPC as an MP3 player.

I know the sound quality isn't great, but a stereo upgrade is a low priority for me, right now. Besides, I'm moving up from a Civic that had two door speakers and a pair of old Sony bookshelf speakers that I had lying around. So, anything is an improvement.

Thanks!

Russ

Not really possible but feel free to venture to www.soundgate.com and call them about it. There is a factory CD changer interface, I think! However, its for CD changer only. You can use an simple audiovox FM modulator though and it will give you the RCA inputs.

By the way the stock CD players SQ is better then most aftermarket equipment, just doens't have the alot fo power but then SQ referes to signal integrity not volume.

Thanks for the response. I e-mailed the service manager at my dealership, as well. He responded that the minidisc and cassette are plug-in components, so there are no auxiliary inputs to the unit. So, I guess I'll just have to do with CDs, for now.

Thanks!
