Hello,

long time. Feels like I came out of hibernation.


What is a good cheap solution for mp3 playback? I am looking for a hardwire solution, I'm not a fan of those FM transmitters.

Sorry for my noobness =)

I am running a 2005 Mazda 3
2.3 sedan


Aux wire sounds nice, but I have no idea where to get it and how to install it.
I'm willing to do it on my own just need a little guidance.

buy the grom audio aux on ebay...i picked mine up for like $80 at my door and took me only like 30 minutes to install, works great.

i have a splitter hooked up so i can have my GPS go through my speakers and have my mp3 player rockin at the same time...

If you do a search a fair bit of info comes up for AUX alternatives.

AudioLink or AuxMod are possibles for you.... the AudioLink works well, plays MP3s off of SD and USB, and also has 1/8" jack for feeding in audio from other devices. It's about $130...
