Awsome. I was going to go ahead and order one, but they won't ship to Canada. I was hoping someone would order it before me. Let us know when you get it. Hope it works.rktktpaul said:OK, just ordered the kit from logjam. I'll keep you guys informed when I receive the kit.
well guys, I got tired of waiting and finally gave in. I picked this up:rktktpaul said:Okay - got the parts from logjam; I don't think this is going to work.
The adaptor does not fit into the MD/Tape module port as I had thought. It has a 16 pin molded plug (8 pins over 8 pins) that they show in the instructions connects to a "16-pin CD changer data port" next to the "power/speaker socket" on the back of the HU.
Now I haven't pulled my HU out yet, but I'm willing to bet dollars to doughnuts that there is no "16-pin CD changer data port" on the back of my radio.
Me thinks this is a bust!!

There is a data connection althouhg I can not remeber its configuration or number of pins.rktktpaul said:Okay - got the parts from logjam; I don't think this is going to work.

So it sounds to me Craig, like it might be worth my while to pull my HU and investigate a little more. Let me check it out!1sty said:There is a data connection althouhg I can not remeber its configuration or number of pins.

There's no such thing as a 2004 P5; I believe they were available for the 2002 - 03 model years. 03.5 is the last model change before the new Mazda3 came out.ddrum2000 said:What model year P5 do you have because on LogJam's website that say only 2003-2004 P5's. So then does anybody know if Mazda changed the stereo after 2002??
Bingo, there were no changes to the headunit from 2002 to 2003 and those where the only model years the car was available for.rktktpaul said:There's no such thing as a 2004 P5; I believe they were available for the 2002 - 03 model years. 03.5 is the last model change before the new Mazda3 came out.
I have a 03.5.

So Ken, to the best of your recollection, there is no 16-pin plug on the back of our OEM radios, is that correct?Captain KRM P5 said:the data port is inside the head unit where the tape/md player would go - i wish i had seen this a week ago when i had two of these radios sitting here on my floor
the plugs as i recall are as follows - on the back of the head unit you had the plug for the wiring harness and the antenna plug. i believe there was a wider rectangular plug back there as well. the mini-disc/tape slot had its own terminal/connector as did the CD player/changer portrktktpaul said:So Ken, to the best of your recollection, there is no 16-pin plug on the back of our OEM radios, is that correct?
