I have a cd player currently do you know how much the dealer would charge approximately to upgrade to a CD / MP3 player?
Just wondering, I would consider doing it if it was a 300 upgrade. (not including labour of course)

Did you look on mazda.ca?
Did you call your dealership?
Did you search?
The answers are all over this site.
2006 Mazda3 Sport GT - Snowflake Pearl White - Luxury Package
2006 Mazda Tribute GS-V6 - Light Silver Metallic
using the search engine on this site brings up too many unrealted \"junk\" entries. but i searched Mazda.CA apparently the only option I have is the 6CD changer that\'s $891.00 a bit steep if you ask me.
More searching on this board would have helped you realize that Joe Montano (a.k.a. FLIPSPEED) from Mazda of Toronto is the guy to talk to about any genuine Mazda parts.Originally posted by vortex-5

Give Joe a call or message.

maybe you should learn HOW to search (which has been covered as well) arcOriginally posted by vortex-5

also AFAIK the \'04-\'05 require a different deck/player than the \'06+ models.. IIRC the single cd/mp3 player was in the $550 range (OEM) but i think that one fit the older models only.. in any case there\'s always ebay
I think he meant UPGRADE his existing CD Playing to a MP3 CD player, not REPLACING it. In most cases when we say to buy a MP3 Player for $550ish + labour, we buy the whole new unit and install it then keep the original CD Player aside, but he probably tried to say when he\'s dealing with buying the new car, he wanted to trade his CD unit and pay upgrade to the MP3 unit, so that way he might be paying less instead of paying the whole price upfront and got keep of the useless CD unit.
THEN: 2005 MAZDA3 SPORT GT --- Arctic White, 5sp, Leather
NOW: 2009 Lexus IS250 RWD w/Sport Package --- Pearl White

ok I don\'t mind buying a brand new one. Anyways i sent Flipspeed a pm hopefully he\'ll be a good guy and get back to me.
I noticed on Mazda USA there was one that fit the 2005 but no MP3 player for the Mazda3 2006
I hope you sent him your email address, as he can only send one PM a day.
I would just call Mazda of Toronto and ask for him.
forget the factory mp3, get a mp3 cd changer. i got a 12 disc JVC cd/mp3 changer for ~250 from future shop. like it says, 12 cd\'s. i\'ve got over 1,000 songs in my trrunk while keeping everything else stock. you do get a little \'noise\' from it being fm modulated, but when it\'s loud you really can\'t hear it. only between songs.
2006 m3 GT GFX
black...
Thanks...but no thanks. Some people prefer the stock factory look and from your pictures, it doesn\'t look very factory at all. But to each his own. Great set up tho anyways.Originally posted by el squid

other than what\'s in the trunk, just close the ashtray and you can\'t see anything. the deck is the same, still use steering wheel controls
Get a PHATBOX.
I love it and its 20 GIG of music and runs off your factory deck.
The artist/song title/album/playlist is announced; everything is in folders and you can sort through a lot of different criterias (playlist, genre, album, artist etc).
And steering wheel controls are enabled!

Here are some crappy pics from my W600 1.3MP phone cam:
and like majic said; it doesnt display the name/title/artist on the stock lcd but rather announces it. I shot a short video of this again.. on my W600 phone so its not great quality:
