Aux Install Mazda 3

[@adamh7947]

This is an awesome video. Especially love Darth Vader as cameraman.

[@kf_isher1149]

LOl

[@kikinoro6546]

loool right

[@hamiltonsterling4884]

I thought I was just imagining that.

[@PauloAndo]

It worked, amazing thank you. Theres also no need to drill a hole, there is a small gap in the top corners of the ash tray holder and the cable just fits through.

[@ivanvarela3215]

Thats likely only on certain models

[@ivanvarela3215]

Newer first gen models

[@ThePangalang]

You are a genius... This guy is awesome. Been looking at how to add the aux to the stereo in my Mazda3 Sport for ages. Just done it yesterday! You don't want to know how much my local car accessories unit tried to charge me for what turned out to be a 40 minute job...! Thanks brother.

[@eg6190]

No need to drill the hole, in my case what i did was remove the small lightbulb in ashtray and it leaves you with a hole wide enough for cable to fit in and wiggle freely :) Btw thanks for the video!

[@xzst]

The same cabel is still sold in Germany via Amazon. I used it on my Mazda 3 1.6 Gasoline, 2006 with a normal CD (no bose sound system, no cd changer) and it worked. I had a MEDIA button and when I plugged my phone in the AUX it recognises it as "AUX" and displays it on the screen. Thanks for the great video!

[@KidthekingKITCH]

For anyone asking about the cord search " 3.5mm AUX Adapter Audio Cable Lead For Mazda 2 3 5 6 MX 5 CX 5 " I ordered mine from Wish but I also saw one on Amazon as well as a couple other sites.

[@BelieveInBlueVC]

Thanks for the video it helped a lot! It was easy to follow and only took me about 15 minutes. Also I didn't have to drill a hole, I just ran the wire down from the back and put it through to the ashtray.

[@PumaAC]

People that say you need to have 2006+ mazda 3 or it won't work, i tried this with 09/2005 Mazda 3 and it worked perfectly fine. I have Media button and no 6 disc CD button (apparently that might not make it work if it's there) after pressing Media it showed AUX and it played music. So if you have a late 2005 model there is high chance it will work. But 2003/4 will most likely not work

[@kevscanada4741]

Just installed the Aux cord in my daughters 2006 Mazda 3. Works awesome 👍 Thanks for the tip.

[@DColby19]

Was Darth Vader filming?

[@---kr3zg]

Yes the British Vader

[@AntotaboQC]

Thanks. Makes it a lot easier not to break anything once you know how its done.

[@JEGHETTO]

I just bought a Mazda 3 a few days ago. Thanks for this video. I can jam in my car now.

[@SongJiangShiJin]

Thank you so much. It works perfectly and was so easy to install. Old car with new sound and no more frigging CDs

[@finidi1982]

Gracias desde España!! Instalación completada rápidamente gracias a ti!!!

[@MrBrian992]

Sir, you must receive one medal... Or maybe two or three

[@ross0379]

Put mine in my 2005 Mazda 3 today and worked perfectly, my console does have the MEDIA button though so perhaps a late 2005 model? Great Video, thank you so much for sharing. No More Heart crappy 106.2 in the mornings for me!

[@devious2172]

+Smithead Centurion Was this on a US/North America Mazda 3 by any chance?

[@rosssmith7306]

+devious21 negative captain. A uk right hand drive model same as in this video

[@NikA-wr6px]

maybe your cars a lie or upgraded model

[@povman64]

Great guide! I used it to undo an iPod cable installation that didn't work with my iPod, now I can plug it into the aux cable :) My car had the aux built in, I just had to switch plugs.

[@R9000S]

I did this today! Very helpful and awesome. Sound quality is superior (using Spotify), and chord works well.

[@narmer1986]

+Rahul Sirasao What cable did you buy?

[@R9000S]

+testtest www.amazon.com/Goliton-3-5mm-Connect-iPhone-Player/dp/B006FFCONA

[@narmer1986]

+Rahul Sirasao Thanks bro

[@aviel145]

I watched your video, bought the cable and installed, and it works perfect! thank a lot!!

[@zanelemofikoe2374]

hi sir, im struggle to find the white thing that goes in at the back, what is the name of it?

[@saidhamdan4776]

i need the link for the cable if you dont mind

[@KamiKasper]

Brilliant! Just bought this car and may have to resort to this tutorial if my mechanic doesn't find a system that includes AUX. Thanks!

[@Benjieboy247]

Good video thanks for this, heads up to people that I managed it without drilling a hole, just means the ashtray won't fully shut

[@nates.2844]

Thank you sir for the upload. Found the same one you used for 10 dollars on Amazon. Simple install

[@Submitr]

Awesome video, used the cable you recommended (Goliton® AUX 3.5mm Cable) and it worked great in my 2006 Mazda 3. Personally, I didn't even have to drill a hole, there's a lil opening near the side/corners and I just stuck the wire through there.

[@jessr18]

Submitr what side corners??

[@anamaldonado8566]

Where do I get the specific Aux help please

[@TheFacebookAcount]

Ana Maldonado www.amazon.co.uk/Goliton%C2%AE-Connect-iPhone-connector-adapter/dp/B006FFCONA

[@marniejones901]

you instructions are brilliant, I just followed and did It to my mazda 3. thank you so much.

[@SpiritualBlackDimensions]

Yes mate, aweome video thank you. I have an '09 3 MPS and was desperate for mp3 compatability. Was just looking at some £300+ head units, but found the cable on Amazon for just over a fiver. Hope it works as easy as it did for you.

[@lilDan255]

You just made my life a little bit sweeter pal. Thanks for this!

[@stevedaniels2010]

Done this today using this video, easy to follow job done with no complications. Thanks.

[@themacgregorshow222]

Nice one bud, just bought a 2005 mazda 3, top vid thank you

[@truthseeker.3]

Me too. Does it work on 2005 SP23 models with the MEDIA button (?)... because some on Mazda forums say it works only on models 2006 and up.

[@tristanbass-krueger7195]

Just finished the install. Aux chord cost $5, needed a 3/8 drill bit ($3), and the install was easy (did take a bit of muscle pressing the drill to get the hole, as it's fairly thick plastic.) Would have been $150 at the local shop.

[@peterbergunder1961]

Thanks a ton...I'm no Mr. Fix it but because of your detailed instructions I DIY'd it! Thank you again

[@diegoh.v.6774]

Hey Man ! you save my life !. I´m doing more than 40.000km a yer and i´m hearing Podcast every days ! Many years looking hot to fit the aux system. I done/fices it on 4 minutes, but i saw your **** Dare vhader video many times hahaha Thanks very much my friend. *I Bougth it on amazon for 9,95€ Kings Regards for Dare Vadher xD

[@garethstockwell]

Great video. I ordered the Goliton cable linked to below. Following this guide let me get the job done in about 30 minutes (including drilling hole behind the ashtray). Ian, thanks for sharing.

[@iancramer3065]

It worked straight away for me first time, so hopefully it will be the same for yourself

[@mohammedrahman1224]

Fantastic tutorial. Just installed my cable. Many thanks for the video and keep up the great work!

[@bored_fork]

Perfect tutorial, thank you so much! Iʼm finally able to listen not just to the radio but to any kind of music I want - such a relief! 😅👍

[@shannonmccosky6258]

2006 Mazda 3 here. Plugged in, but the media setting doesn't go to aux. Advice??

[@danielmartinez-tf3nt]

Shannon McCosky i need help too

[@ashleymarney7355]

Ian Cramer I have the same one, i bought it for my 04 hatch back. its now installed in the car but i connect it to my phone and nothing happens, is there a button in the dash i need to press?

[@cristyextrem2]

***** you should press Media from the radio or Mode from the steering wheel until you reach the AUX option

[@Chewpamiverrga]

On a Mazda 3 2006 hatchback ?

[@luke1the3duke]

+Ashley Marney supposedly the attachment only works for Mazda 3's year 2006 and up, I'm looking for a way to add an aux cord to my 2003 mazda 3 sedan with no luck so far.

[@ashleymarney7355]

+luke1the3duke Yeah i found that out now, You have to have the media button not the tape/MD button.

[@lost7spirit]

Thank you for showing me how to pop off the middle console 🙏

[@Eddie-vt8sc]

Brilliant video mate 👍💪

[@TonyMurchisonOfKrynn]

I am in Canada and was trying to solve this exact problem for a 2005 Mazda 3. After viewing this I have shopped around in Future Shop/Best Buy/Source/Canadian Tire etc. and they do not sell these things. I was frustrated though it was really a blessing in disguise for I afterwards decided to shop online until I realized the equivalent Aux Cable in amazon.ca/.com as the one used in the video is not compatible for models older than 2006.

[@TonyMurchisonOfKrynn]

I have found www.gtacarkits.com/product/mazda-3-2004-2008-iphone-aux-kit to be the next best alternative - at least for me. It costs much more but it comes with such functionalities as will allow you to switch between audio files by using the control panels that come with the car. I am still deciding whether to make this investment :|

[@ramirezjuan6667]

I have a Mazda 3 2005, but all I found only works on 2006 and up is there a different place were I can find for a 05?

[@gersonfigueroa4399]

Ramirez Juan I have the same question

[@Nitrous8]

same here its not working for me too, mine has a Tape drive and the button for media is names TAPE/MD

[@MattBWall]

Can you link me to the cable that the used? i'm having trouble finding one. Thanks

[@MrFriimi]

This looks awesome. Just one question to the audience: How many of you failed to assemble everything without some minor damages?

[@JoeGallantChurchComms]

Just did this today. No damage done. Except for drilling the hole 😂

[@alphakennybuddy7346]

Or you could pop the center counsel open and plug in the cable where is says aux

[@patgenier1965]

Fantastik vid, I just bought a 2008 GT as my daily driver.. Thanks for the vid.

[@existt]

many thanks for posting this video! finally an aux cable in my mazda

[@stevebiko2k]

Great guid, but where can I purchase this cable?

[@tehxii7706]

Anyone coming here, you can plug that into a Bluetooth thing and basically have a Bluetooth connection. I've done it in my Honda and will do it in this Mazda 3 I bought

[@bientong221]

Works perfectly on my mazda 3 2007. Thanks alot bro

[@monkeybars101]

Thank you so much for this! Just ordered an Aux cable for my Mazda 3 2006, will be following this very closely when it arrived. I'm not very technical, i'll be ok doing this right? Anything I need to watch out for?

[@DarkoSayd]

This technological terror is nothing compared to the power of the Force! u.U

[@blurnet888]

Were you shooting this with Darth Vader, or was he sleeping? :D Anyways, many thanks, it's a priceless help! Respect for sharing with us!

[@iancramer3065]

Sorry cant think what it might be, hope you get it sorted

[@izharmelnikovsky6453]

Thank you! This is an excellent video, worked exactly as shown. Thank you Darth ;)

[@KfirCohen123]

Great video! I have installed it easily and it works perfectly. BTW, I have bought a female connector, which I find more suitable. Thanks for your post.

[@tonyschmit3563]

Awesome tutorial. Thanks! I just put in an aux cable and it was super simple.

[@Iam-od2nc]

I'm gonna do this on my 2006 tomorrow. Thanks a lot

[@ozhoneybadger]

Good video used this to install my cable on Saturday. Thanks.

[@juanpabloarraezrivera9081]

Hahaha savage garden. Good video my friend. Bless from Venezuela.

[@sebastianlopespereira1696]

i installed mine but it played pretty soft via the aux.

[@manthanvekariya2103]

Fm audio transmitter is a better alternative for aux.

[@ericsotosoto379]

Great vid, clear and precise!

[@nordvest3]

This helped me a lot with my install. Thank you very much!!!

[@rogluka]

what is the quality like? is it ok? or is it a lot less quality than CD?

[@charade97]

Very professional. Thank you very much!

[@soulgivesoul07]

awesome vid man, thanks for putting this up!

[@mitchkohler5294]

(2005 mazda 3s) I used this exact cable and after installing it seems not to work. how do I put it into aux function? Head unit has same exact plug in but unsure of how to work it exactly

[@angelinaclark8643]

[@mitchkohler5294]

[@brandonmarquez9771]

I got a 2005 is it going to work?? Any links to the cable please??

[@Tech-49]

sounds like it was filmed by darth vader, i was wondering what he was doing these days.

[@kinghavoc9519]

what cord did he plug in to be able to use aux?

[@ryanduffett1136]

Hi Ian, can you tell me where you bought your aux cable? It would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

[@samf3342]

Just tried it on my mazda 3 2005 and it does NOT work. It plugs in but the media doesn't read it.

hi i've tried to install the aux cable on my mazda 3 2006, but it doesn't works. i don't have the MEDIA button, but i have TAPE/MD. what should i do? do you think that's the problem ?
