that's great. i just wish some of those pictures were a little bigger...

thanks tracker!

 

i just did a little googling, and found this fantastic tutorial on removing the mazda3 console...

http://mymazda3.patricktam.net/project_aux_input.asp

brilliant!

 

that is just the stupid, the way he hooked up his ipod to the stock headunit, If i had an ipod, i would just get the kit like you said you were doing, not just soldering some wires on there, what he didnt show was the big glob of solder on that board when he is done.[:@]

 

Well at least it gives us how to take out your head unit in a more detailed, and colorful way.

 

thats true it does, but why would somebody just rig up the ipod like that, and possibly damage the headunit and then it nor be covered under warranty because you screwed it up. That is a lesson cheapness right there, if you can afford the ipod for $200, you can get the kit for $100

 

Thats true but that extra $100 can go a lot of other stuff like...gas, rims, intake.

 

true i guess.
