Aux in from Mazda
Hi all,
I have just found out that Mazda is selling an Aux-in module for SGD$99. According to them, they say it is compatible with the RX8 headunit. Did anyone install this? According to the parts department, it is out of stock now.
But my car is a PI one, thus they will not entertain me

Don't think there is any difference in price for "group buy" from MM. Anyway, I'm sure they will ask you for your car's VIN to make sure they sell to MM 8 owners only. Hopefully RX666 can make some special arrangements or pull up some MM 8's VINs to help out the PI 8 owners.

I just called MM earlier today. Parts guy said they tested and checked the Aux Input and it does not work on the RX-8. Anyone else got similar findings?? What's the story here?
Amplify, where did you get it installed? Was it from MM or a 3rd party audio shop? Please let us know where and how much.
Cheers!

The parts guy at MM did say that the one they have (out of stock) works on the 3 (or 6 I can't remember coz I stopped paying attention once he said it doesn't work on the 8...lol). So that's why I'm curious to find out if anyone here got his/her aux in mod from MM.

i guess the conversation went like this...
sales - the aux unit that you like will XXXX (covers ear) fit the 8, not only that, it will XXX be very smart to install it when its meant for the 3 (and your mind starts wondering what you ate for dinner last nite and when our new exhaust will arrive ).........blah blah...blah......8 is fast......XXX XX X XXXXX X XXXX X XX XX XX 8 XXXX X X X X X XXXXXX XXXX 8 XXXXX 8 XXXX....so it will not be a good idea
flyer - so cannot?
sales - ya...cannot
flyer - say so lah.....waste my time.* duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu *

MM's Aux-In mod doesn't work for our 8s, that's what I've been told by one of the parts guy at MM unless he's wrong. So where else can we get the Aux Mod? Can someone provide some links or contacts persons?

Wow this is getting very complicated. Let me summerise...
I DID call Mazda Parts department and the guys DID say the AUX in module from Mazda does work for RX8.
Flyer re-confirm with Mazda and now Mazda say CANNOT work.
If the Mazda Aux in cannot work, than the choice is to get the Aux Mod from www.sylfex.com. I may wait for the Auxmod advance.
OR
From Amplify's source from MCS.
* If you look at the Japanese website
http://www.mazda.co.jp/customize/web_cat/rx-8/rx-8.html
Top right hand side choose Audio System.
At the bottom right you can see what seems like an Aux in. I will check with my PI what is this part....
