Latool - RX8 installation is same as Mazda 6...(big smile).
Thread jack - when your engine mount failed/sagged...did you get vibrations and gear changes become notchy?

Latool, can you let me know what type of iPOD adpater is $70? Would it fit iPhone 3G?

There's no way to control the ipod with the steering wheel control, is there?

[Nepharius]

No, if you get pretty much any of the ipod adapters that hook up like this one does then your steering wheel controls will work.

wow who charged u 200???...

I got mine done at JB-Hifi for $40 bux lol

[Millsy]

Where would i get one of the adaptors from?

[Nepharius]

I got mine off ebay, there was a group buy around ages ago, so I doubt there are any left from that. Still might be an idea to look at this GB - IPOD or MP3/USB Link

im a bit late to the show...but im not too keen on just a cable going into the source (eg ipod) as i want to be able to NOT operate the ipod whislt driving and use the cars unit.

those charmakers seem perfect for what i want eg...out of sight being able to plug a usb stick/harddrive or ipod directly into it and using the cars controls...how do i get hold of one? (any online shops in oz?) or is ebay the best bet?

Hey JohnnyC - have you had any luck? I want to do the same - sick of having to listen to CD's - so 90's!
