Updated firmware. Download it from their website. Put it on a usb stick, WA LA.
Well, read the exact directions I paraphrased, but the new changelog said it had over 864 changes since the last firmware.
icspots, thank you for the great thread and info! I've been extremely frustrated with FM transmitters, so I finally decided to install an auxiliary kit on my Mazda 3, and I'm inclined toward the Neo Pro Link. For now, thanks for the tip on disconnecting the antenna!
One question, after running a search on what tools I will need to break down the dash and install the kit, I didn't find anything helpful, are there any you guys recommend? Thanks a lot!
Cheers!
Rico.

It has been a while since I posted here (bought a bike) but i am still aggrevated that i cannot have both world when it come to sirius and a ipod in my 2008 since it a was a pre jan model (missed out on power seats but got bose with my navi). Has anyone tried to set up some small relays (dei 8616) to switch input signals, text datd/clk and bus signals (I would believe it would be best to just splice the power and grounds) set one satellite radio for say to normal through 87a and the other ipod interface to normal open 87 with a push button switch in the center console two switch back and forth??? any thoughts or has this been tried and failed???
Using the aux-mod, I am not able to keep the male end 100% into the female plug of the aux-mod. I am going to take the unit out and take it to an electronics store for their opinion but my guess is the female plug on the aux-mod board is a little larger than it should be (cheaply made out of spec chinese parts) and every male plug I tried seems to slip out just enough so there is no connection with my sirius radio or any other mp3 player I want to use. The lack of support and response from the Syflex seems to support my belief.
Just a quick thank you to icspots and the others in this long thread. I was able to add the GROM unit for my iPhone without any difficulty at all. The pics posted within the thread were a great guide.
One quick question though. I have the 2007 MS3, and also wanted to add SAT radio. What's the best option to to that now, and I believe I need the part below, but the link no longer works, has it been replaced with another part?

1) The switchbox allows you to plug in the factory ACI and sirius. You cannot plug both the grom and sirius into the switchbox at the same time. As noted in the listing you quoted "(Note: One input on the switch box works only with the ACI)"
2) As to the link not working it was to onlinemazdaparts's website and they may have moved the catolog entry. Regardless the P/N is still current and you can get that at any dealer, or online OEM retailer.
since he has a '07 model then he'll actually keep the LCD panel. It will still display his ambient temp., and if applicable his climate control info. It will also keep the last set thing on the left (clock, DIS, etc.).
Again excellent info to know, thank you again icspots. I would gladly buy you a pint for the help if you're ever out in Charlotte.

Are you using the AUXMOD? I have the AUXMOD chip and I use it is my 06 MZ3. I to Pandora it up works fine. I would just get a ground loop isolator if you plan on using a charger while playing music.
