It does not have a plug for your iPod. It is a six CD unit. If you want to listen to the mp3s you downloaded: You can convert your mp3 files back to WAV files (use Roxio or Nero to convert and burn a standard CD so they can play in a standard player) You can make a connector to plug your ipod or whaterever into the back of the Bose unit. You can replace the Bose unit. You can opt for the six speed tranny and you will have something much more entertaining that the radio to fiddle with while you drive.

I don't think that you have to worry about that. Winblows is on well over 90% of the world's computers. Every job that I have worked for in the past 10 years has required Windows, MS Office, Excel, etc. experience, not one employer cared if I was familiar with Mac, Linux, or any other OS. Nobody has to like it, but Microsoft has won, which naturally makes them a bigger target. They stomped the competition "like a narc at a biker rally" -Dennis Miller. If Mac or some other system were dominant, or at least competitive, then we would see the situation reversed as far as computer viruses. To keep this somewhat on topic, the software for my TEC-3 engine management computer runs on Windows. They obviously designed it this way because most people with computers are running Windows. Imagine the trouble, (and lack of sales), that the company would have if they had designed it to run only on the Mac. Pat

Not wanting to start a completely off-topic thread, but what you say is true only to a certain extent. The way the current Mac OS is set up, even if mal-ware gets ahold of your computer, the damage it can do is limited. Unfortunately, the same is not the case in WindowsLand. Jon

Hardest part is figuring out how to attach to the pins in the connector if you don't have a connector, and then of course finding a switched source of 12V to use for the enable switch. You have to add a plug, a switch, and a resistor. Then you flip the switch and it says "LINE" on the display and you can hear your mp3 player. Works like a champ but it is a non-trivial job so unless you're the type who's committed to the factory look of the original stereo and/or you are super-cheap, then you'd almost 100% do better to just replace the head unit with an aftermarket unit with an aux plug already in it. FWIW, my in-dash factory CD player stinks. Won't play a CD when it's cold. Skips like mad with any CD-R in it. It's not loud, distorts easily, etc. Adding the MP3 input really made it useful for me!! I use my ipod all the time in the car now. But frankly this factory head unit is nothing special to hang on to.

Unfortunately it is much more expensive than it's worth and you have to give up the 6-disc changer to get it. There are many alternatives. I have a 94 that I just put (another.. previous was stolen) Eclipse MP3 CD player in. I got a really good deal on it and paid about $160 installed (would probably be around $200 or a bit more regularly). Something similar from one of the more common brands available at best buy or the like could no doubt be had for under $200. It appears the option of replacing the head unit is becoming obsolete as Mazda goes to the proprietery (non-din-sized) radios on the 06 model. I didn't see what year model you're looking at, but if it's an 06 then your best bet will be either Mazda's MP3 units, or an add-on type unit. There's a unit that Rockford Fosgate makes that I've looked at a few times which includes a 20gig removable hard drive (avail at Crutchfield for $250: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-gyxgvTjXEgl/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=50800 &id=essential_info&i=575DMP1 ). If you like the look of that unit and don't mind waiting a bit.. keep an eye on www.woot.com. They've had the Rockford unit twice in the past month for $200, and it also includes a home stereo piece which basically enables you to stream music to your home stereo from your pc. There are several other hard drive based units like the Rockford, Kenwood has one called the Music Keg. There's also the option of getting a portable mp3 player such as an ipod and getting an fm transmitter for it. This allows you to listen to your ipod on your car radio. Sound quality suffers a bit with this solution, but it's a lot easier than wiring a plug into a factory head unit which doesn't have an aux input on the front. -Scott

It's hardwired to a Kenwood head unit. The other half of the double-DIN hole is wiating to be filled with a trio of gauges as soon as I figure out how to reach around to get at the back end of the gauges to screw on the retaining nuts. With the empty hole there and the the faceplate, it looks like my stereo has already been stolen, so the more paranoid amung us might just leave it the way it is. -- Grant Edwards grante Yow!

	I was appalled by this at first, but on second thought, what's the point of buying a car with 8.25 lbs turbo boost capability if you're not going to use premium gas? If you want to run regular gas, buy a Saturn, or some other housefrau car. My first two tanks of gas in my Mazdaspeed were 87 octane. It seemed to run OK, with no knocking. However, since then I run only 91-93 octane, and the change in performance is clear.

It sounds like crap. Distorted, no high end, not nearly loud enough. Hardwired sounds great.

Hardwire is definately the way to go if you have that option, but a tape adapter will suffice if you have that option and a fm transmitter will get you there w/o the extra work of digging into the wiring. A side feature is that you can take the fm transmitter w/ you for other cars too.. or home systems. -Scott

But there are lots of times when even miata drivers have to suffer in semi-decent listening environments where the quality loss with an fm transmitted signal is noticably worse than a wired option. I just didn't want to make the OP think that he was gonna get cd quality sound from it.. there are definate advantages from the FM solution, but sound quality is not one of them. -Scott
