Hey guys, anyone currently own an AUX cable?? I have been researching online, figuring out where I can get this cable because I haven't had the time to leave the office and get one and by the time I do, I just want to go to one place and get it. I've seen the Monster iCable on line from Best Buy and their selling it for $30.99 and I think there are cheaper ones out there, does anyone know where to get one for a reasonable price? Like Pacific mall? Radio Shack? Or is anyone selling thiers?

What are you trying to connect? Also what kind of AUX cable are you looking for? RCA, 3.5mm, etc?

You have a 2006 right? Stock or aftermarket deck? If you have a stock deck you will need more than just a cheap cable to connect your ipod/mp3 player.

Yes, I do have a 2006 Mazda 3 Sport, but I also have a 2008.5 Mazda 3 Sedan and it comes with an AUX outlet, I just don't want to spend like $30 bucks at Best Buy for somthing that does the same, but unsure of where to get it and if if would produce a crappy quality.

Well if it's just for the '08, this is what I got for my '07.

I got mine for less than what it's advertised for now but basically that is it. I know Walmart may have some cheaper priced cables.

I find the sound quality to be good and am happy I didn't spend a lot on it.

Looks good to me, I guess I'm going to stop by best buy and just grab that off the shelf, thanks for the info!

Just picked up this one from HMV for $7.99 Gold plated stereo cable. It's 16" long tip to tip which is nice, I didn't like the thought of the Radioshack ones that were not gold plated and were like 5' long. That's a lot of cable.

Hooked up the AUX cable I got from HMV and man it sounds great. No static at all, nice and crisp. For $7.99 it's pretty solid.

Belkins are nice cables, saw one at Canadian Tire for around $20 as well...I couldn't justify a $20 cable after HIDs and a new rear valence...hehehe

Go to Canada computers and as for a 3.5mm to 3.5m... if u don't need anything overly long, it won't be more than $10

any computer store would have it..
