There is a full line of really exciting accessories being finalized for the RX-8 including such things as a CD changer, aero parts, perimeter alarm system etc. With the pre-sale on the Internet, Mazda is about three months ahead of the normal accessory development calendar so the accessories were not ready to announce when they announced the pricing for the car in January. :D

I wrote back suggesting that since we voluntary guineapigs are going to be giving their product a lot of exposure and assisting the initial impact of their radical new car, and since we've been expected to plonk down our hard-earned cash up front before we've even had a chance to touch it or see the available colors, they might care to do the right thing by us and toss in a couple of small upgrades on the pre-ordered cars. Like a 6-disc changer, for example.
Dunno if they'll bite, but it doesn't hurt to try.

No, the response I got back from the rx8orders inquiry desk was that both the standard and premium sound systems are single-disc units, and that the multi-disc head unit will be an option.

6 cd changer
Don't know whether we've been sold a patsy or whether Mazda Uk know what they're talking about but, look at the UK website
www.mazdarx8.co.uk
and you will see the prices and standard kit which includes 6 cd changer!! I don't know if it gives you any comfort but I suppose
we are paying +/- $36000 for ours in basic form!
Yours musically

I hope these are all dealer installed accessories and pre-orderers aren't getting screwed out of goodies. And what is this I read in a reply from mazdaonline about an in-dash 6cd changer accessory? If it isn't in there in the first place, how in the world are they going to stick it in later?
Looks like I'm going to be getting me some aero

The extra gubbins to handle the multiple discs are all inside the head unit. So to upgrade, one simply pops out the single-disc unit and plops in the multi-disc. A five-minute job with the right tools.

Slow down...
Hey! I just wanted to give you all a heads up without being specific.
The Bose system has a six-disc changer regardless of what the customer center tells you. Period!
Opps!! I goofed. Please see correction to this post following. Sorry for the mistake.

Oops!!! Boowana's BIG GOOF!!!
Boowana has goofed BIG TIME!! My quote in the original post should have read:
“The standard Bose system does not have a six-disc changer. This can be requested from the dealer by the customer, but will be an additional charge.” I apologize for the error.
