AUX Is this worth giving a shot??
Hi,
I look on here all the time for any question i need answered and i finally decided to join the fun! so dont be too harsh lol
Most of my buddies clown on me due to the lack of a AUX input in the 8, one of them recently sent me this link for a "easy" AUX mod. i rarely trust the functionality and the quality of products like this but hey its on 10 bucks right?
Mazda 3 5mm Earphone Mini Jack Aux in Audio Input Adapter for MP3 Player Phone | eBay
Im guessing this would only work if 1. you did not have a CD changer but did have the connection or 2. you did have the CD changer but opt to go with an AUX in
idk, what do you guys think, has anyone tried this, if should i try my luck and see if the 10 bucks is work it??

I'd guess it works the same as all the other AUX in mods, in which case there is likely a firmware revision requirement you might need to get it working. For $10, it's hard to see a reason why not to try it.
Check out these two Audio stickies though, they should have the answer you are generally looking for when it comes to obtaining AUX IN:

Well i just placed the order, i will be very impressed if this thing works out the box. i guess i can have a bit of faith but what can i expect
, ive read most of the DIY but i just find my self too lazy for THIS kind of project. ive been dealing with our stock "skippy" CD players since i bought the car so this would be a nice change lol

scarface it's thru the same port.... your stock radio merely thinks its playing thru a changer. I have serious doubts about this mod working on our radio, particularly MY's prior to 2006.
