The problem lies between the aux plug in the armrest and the head unit. I have tried new AUX cords and new sources.

#FIX AUX PORT IN 2010 MAZDA 3 MP3 SONG#
Theoretically, the Audiolink can take up to about a 3gb SD card.and here's the math of that: Each mp3 song averages about 5mb, and 1024mb = 1 GB, so a 2gb card can hold about 400 songs, and Audiolink's maximum of 594 songs takes up about 3gb's. It was working fine one day, I got to the store, and when I came back out, all I get through the aux input is static and screaching. I've had this in mind for so long, even with my previous car, but now with SD cards being so cheap, like $10 - $15 for each 2gb SD card if you shop around. Now if only it reads MP3 ID3 tags and display it on the HU LCD like the Axxess ipod integration, i'd be sold !!! Anyways, I had a good experience with this new company and would like to share this with you guys and hopefully find some better places to where/how mount this thing.īut it seems the new audio link USB from now has BOTH USB and SD reader built-in. The hard part was running the wire (not that hard). I purchased Xcarlink for 124.99 CAN (tax and shipping included) it arrived within 3 days and I hooked it up in my car within 5 minutes. I thought this was the best idea ever since USB keys these days contain very large capacities as well as are very tiny/portable. The device has a USB input and an auxilliary input meaning, you can either plug in anything you use headphones for OR you can plug in a USB key loaded with mp3s. After searching on the net, I ran into They sell a device (Xcarlink) which is made for the Mazda 3 and connects directly into the external CD changer port (at the back of your head unit). I tried the FM modulator technique but the sound quality was horrible.

Now the power port in the console is switched, and the front power port is unswitched.I recently purchased a new creative zen 30 gb video/mp3 player and was desperatly searching for a way to play it through my car speakers. Remove the 2 screws that are under the shift plate just under the the defroster/ac buttons. If you put your foot on the gas pedal, and pivot your toe right until it hits the panel, well thats the panel you need to remove. I reinserted the wires in there new locations, checking that I left slack in the wires as the fed into the loom, inserted the fuses, checked the circuits for correct function, and that was it. 3 Pop the 2 samll panels all the way in the front, one on each side. I located the fuses these circuits were attached to, removed the fuses, detached the wires by releasing the plastic retention clip which is accessible from the front side where the fuse pushes in. There is 6-7" of wire loom connected to the fuse box so that is comes through the access hole no problem. The fuse box is easily removed from the car far enough to work on it, by removing the 10mm nut, and releasing the plastic clip above it. Turns out that each of the power ports are on a separate circuit, in the same fuse box, and had plenty of slack in the wires to swap them around. So I went to the fuse panel to see if the wiring could be swapped to accomplish this without too much trouble. I looked around to see if there was an option to choose switched or unswitched, but no. I expected that this would be a simple task of plugging it into the power port and done, except that the power port in the console is unswitched, so the Zune stayed powered, and unpaused, when the key was turned off. I wanted to plug my Zune into the power port on my '10 3S sedan, so that it would pause when I shut the car off.
#FIX AUX PORT IN 2010 MAZDA 3 HOW TO#
does anyone know which fuses these two are on? And can give me some guidance on how to do this?. I read this on another forum, but haven't been able to find more info. I've been looking for a way to swap the power ports in the 2010 mazda 3, so the front outlet is always on, and the armrest outlet is switched w/ the ignition.
