Hi,

Anyone here that has good insight in the Mazda 6 2.0 -03 model and factory stereo? Cuz i want to open up the panels so that i can check if the stereo has AUX connection in the back to connect my iPhone to the stereo.

So if anyone here has pics or a guide how to disassemble the stereo i would be grateful, so that i don't destroy the panels or any plastic.

 

Or... you could actually ask if the stereo has an AUX input you could plug into.
No, it doesn't. You'd need to add something along the lines of the XCarLink. I did it, it works pretty well.

 

I think, but i'm not 100% sure, you'll need to start off by taking out the central console, (the bit between the seats) - then if my memory serves me correctly, from reading around, there is a screw inside the glove compartment... undo that and errr.... that's all i got.

Please post how you get on, as i will be removing my stereo and all sorts to sell for parts soon. and would like to know how to do it all...

and... what AHan said is true i think - you'll need to buy a special adapter, specifically for the BOSE stereo as well, i think. I'm not speaking from experience, just what i've read.

Hope that helps

 

Remove the trim around the parking brake lever. It pretty much pulls straight up - it just uses tabs that stick into the black of the console, and then a couple of tension clips into the shifter surround. I found something that works great along the part of the trim closest to the storage bin is a putty knife with a strip of masking tape around it's edge to protect from scratches.

Then the shifter surround and ashtray. Same thing - just locating tabs and tension clips.

You will then see a couple of screws behind where the ashtray was.

Don't recall having to do anything in the glove box unless you mounting something behind the stereo, like when I added the factory iPod adapter.

There is no generic aux input. There is an input, but it's not a generic plug-in - it's a specific plug shape that Mazda designed. It can be used to plug-in the factory iPod adapter or the factory satellite radio unit (but not both)

If you want a phone input source to be used as a phone through the stereo, good luck. If you want to play your iPhone for music, you'd need an iPod adapter. There is Mazda, and there is a couple of others through places like Crutchfield. Don't know if the non-Mazda units use an antenna input though.....
