So, whats the current recommendation for an iPod install on an '07? The one that Mazda provided a year ago looked bad. And it's been a year since I've researched this on the forum. Thinking I'd like to buy one now so checking in to see the thoughts.
we keep thinking about getting an iPod installed too. Or get the tape player and use an MP3 tape player, though I'd rather have something that keeps the iPod charged.
Are you referencing the OEM product (can't tell for sure)? From what I remember from most discussion from a year ago, the OEM product isn't very desireable. If I remember correctly, it doesn't easily allow you to control the iPod itself, and the menu structure is horrible.
I have a iRiver FM Transmitter that charges the battery and works fairly well. I end up not using the iPod in the car as the volume levels are inconsistent and it's a pain to use while driving. I'm going to get a decent after market head unit and just use MP3 CDs or memory sticks.
I saved the link but have not had time to buy and install the unit. I like the MP3 on a flashdrive option the best. The price of the sticks keep doing down and down and down. 4 Gig for <$20. Way cheaper than an ipod.
