Installing Audio Interface for Mobile Phone

Model: Mazda Rx 8 MK 1 - Years 2003-2012
Part: Accessory kit

It is often useful to have an interface to connect your mobile phone to the car radio. To check the compatibility of the chosen interface, press and hold the "text" button on the front of the car radio, and the version of the system will be displayed. Once compatibility is confirmed, proceed with the installation. Remove the gear knob to take off the upper part of the car tunnel. Then, remove the plastics under the steering wheel to access the car radio from the side. Also, remove the bracket to work without too many obstacles and safely extract the car radio. Remove the car radio by unlocking the tabs above and below it. Pass the interface cable through the tunnel side and connect it to the car radio via the connector. Verify correct operation before reassembling the removed parts. At this point, the placement of this device is left to the owner's choice, depending on their needs.
