Audiolink for MP3 Player to Mazda Modular/Bose, MX5 Mk2/2.5/3

SKU: NBC-0903

Product Update: Please note, these units will not work on the new Mk3.5 Facelift. A compatible version is currently in development.

The Audio Link USB MP3 Player Integration Kit will revolutionize the way you listen to music in your late-model MX-5! Simply plug in any USB flash drive or USB external hard drive (externally powered) and the unit will play any MP3s stored on the drive through your car's factory stereo system. The unit will automatically turn on when you start your car, and will even resume playing right where you left off. It allows you to use your steering wheel controls to change songs and it also features a 1/8" stereo jack to allow you to input other sources, such as satellite radio. This newer version also features a built in SD card slot.

Features:
Exclusive built-in high quality MP3 decoder.
Power on automatic play function.
No battery required.
Direct connection with CD-quality sound.
1/8" stereo jack for other auxilliary input.
Allows the use of the steering wheel controls to change songs.
SD Card reader

Fits all Mazda MX5 Mk2/2.5 with Mazda Modular Head units and all Mk3 (all provided that you do not have the extra optional boot mounted cd autochanger fitted). Also does NOT work with Mk3 6 disc changer head units.

IMPORTANT! BEFORE removing the head unit and plugging this device in, you must first disconnect the vehicles battery. Not only is this for your safety when removing the stereo, but also in some circumstances, failiure to disconnect the battery can make the audio link malfunction.

Please Note: If your car is not one of the Mazda MX-5's listed above, we can not warrant this part or its suitability for use on your vehicle. You would be able to return the unit for a full refund (excluding postage costs) as long as it is returned in perfect condition.

I bought the earlier version of this way back in 2007 and it works as advertised although the volume seems a bit on the low side compared to CD.However the rubber coating that was put on the plastic degrades into a very sticky glue like substance over time.

Boîtier installé en 15 mn sur ma Mk2.5 de 2005 avec système Bose et fixation par velcro dans la boîte à gants : fonctionne à la perfection avec une mini clé USB. Plus de CD à emporter et des heures de musique en réserve, c'est tout ce que je voulais, c'est parfait !!!

The Audiolink is great. I can now access almost 600 MP3s right from the original factory stereo. The installation was quite easy and took about 20 minutes. Disconnect the battery then remove the glove box. The trickiest bit was removing the antenna connector at the back of the stereo unit but once out it was fairly easy to insert the Audiolink connector. (the seciring latch on the connector faces down, by the way) Replacing the antenna connector was rather easier then removing it. I then replaced the glove box and attached the Audiolink to the inside of the glove box with double-sided tape. Then reconnected the battery and voila! It worked exactly as expected.I'm very happy with addition to my lovely MX5!

I ordered audiolink for my mk3 three weeks ago. It came here in Greece after 5 working days. The installation was pretty easy after i saw it being installed by a mazda specialist! It works excellent and there is a 15-20% increase in sound quality and volume! And of course i can now hear all my favourite mp3's just with my usb stick.

Had this product now for over 12 months and recommend it. Easy to fit , just removed the glove box door by flexing it and plugged the unit in through the back. No need to remove the radio unit at all. Easy selection of tracks and quality sound.

Great product - letting my head unit believe that I have a cd-changer box connected. Only problems so far is - why did this unit not come with instructions? (the folder stuff CD01, CD02 etc.) and what are the media requirements for the unit?... Does it take SDHC cards? Up to what size? How high a bitrate is supported? I suppose everyone even looking at this item would like to know these things. But... it works like a charm, thus 4 stars.

Connecting the unit was easy enough. I was wanting to use this to connect a DAB radio via the 3.5mm input - bizarely when the unit is plugged in all DAB reception is lost, unplug it and reception returns! The unit is causing absolute and complete interference. Have returned for a refund.

Nice product and quick delivery to Belgium. I receive a newer model than the one on the picture (mx5parts should update it) so it has the sdcard drive.I installed it on a mx5 mk2.5. And unfortunately the glovebox method don't work then i had to remove the autoradio but it was not so difficult after all. All you need is a little screwdriver and put it in the right hole on each side.

Work like charm on my 2006 Mazda3. Just a point to add, not all USB pen drives are compatible, error 8:89 or 8:88 is shown. I've tried different brands and storage size all formated with FAT or FAT32 in the end the ellected one was a 4Gb type from Emtec.Easy to install, about 15min.

Ordered on Wednesday, the postman delivered to me on Friday morning in Portugal!!! Couldn't believe it!!! Assembled in 10 minutes, counting 5 to remove the stereo!!! Works as advertised! A worthy upgrade to anyone wanting to hear MP3's without changing the original head unit!

Delivery Information - MX5 Parts

We understand that its really important for you to receive your goods in a timely fashion and for a competitive price. To ensure that we can deliver this we have developed a strategic partnership with both the Royal Mail and our courier partner, Think Worldwide.

At the present time, we only offer one delivery option ‘our carrier’. We will dispatch your goods with the most suitable carrier, for main land UK deliveries this is normally Royal Mail 1st class for packages weighing under 1.5kg and Think Worldwide for those that are over.

Our delivery charges are based on the weight of the consignment and the destination address. For UK mainland deliveries they start at £1.97 for a package weighing under 300g and rise to a MAXIMUM of £9.95 for a package weighing 1.5kg or over (EXCEPT very large bulky items that have an additional shipping surcharge added). The exact delivery cost will be clearly displayed at checkout.

Delivery times are estimated at 1-3 working days by Royal Mail, and 1-2 working days by Think Worldwide for mainland UK addresses. If you order before 3pm, Monday to Friday, we will dispatch the same day. If you order after 3pm, we will try to dispatch the same day, but if we cant it will be the next working day. Items ordered after 3pm Friday or over a weekend will be dispatched Monday. Items dispatched on Friday are for delivery the following week. Items ordered over a Bank Holiday will be dispatched the next working day. MX5parts is constantly updated to keep pace with changes in our stock but demand is high and we occasionally run out of popular items. If we have run out of stock and can’t dispatch your order the next working day, we’ll email or phone you with a revised dispatch date. You can then either accept the revised dispatch date or cancel the order, as you wish. Please note, shipping times are an estimate, and can not be guaranteed. Please note that during special offer periods, dispatch of your order may be delayed slightly due to high a volume of orders.

A signature is required for ALL orders delivered by Think Worldwide. Someone must be at your delivery address to sign for your parcel between 8am and 6pm on a working day. Please send it somewhere it can be reliably signed for, like your place of work, a neighbour, or perhaps your grans. We can (but we don’t like to) ask the courier to leave your parcel without a signature. If we do this, it will be YOUR responsibility if the parcel is lost or damaged. If you want it left, you need to give us your express instructions in the ‘additional information’ box at the end of the checkout process. It would be helpful if you could also indicate exactly where the package should be left.

If you need to change your delivery address, for any packages that have been dispatched with Think Worldwide, there will be an additional charge of £9.95 if the package has already been dispatched.

Please remember, even with Royal Mail deliveries, that any items which are too large to fit through your letter box will need someone to be available to receive the delivery. If the item cannot be delivered, you will be carded and given the option of either a re-delivery or you can collect your parcel from your local post office depot.

Orders sent to countries outside the UK will be sent VAT free, however please note that on all international shipments, the recipient is responsible for any local VAT, import duty and other clearance fees that may be charged.

Our Guarantee - MX5 Parts

We guarantee that you’ll be satisfied with mx5parts!

We are an independant, family company, run by a dedicated team. We aim to be the kind of company that we’d like to deal with if we were you. You have our absolute commitment as fellow MX-5 owners, car nuts, internet users and hard-working people that you’ll be satisfied with mx5parts. If you’re not, let us know and we’ll sort it out!

We guarantee “always fair prices”

MX5parts maintains an everyday savings pricing policy. We watch other retailers closely and maintain competitive pricing. The internet being the beast it is means that any Tom, Dick or Henrietta can set up a website in their back room and charge bargain basement/off the back of a lorry (guv) prices. Often they will have no stock, no returns policy, questionable security, no guarantees and of course poor customer service. MX5parts strives to be open and honest, so we will never inflate our prices to set up an artificial ‘sale’ (a common – and illegal – retail practice).

It is inevitable in an open market like the internet that there will be some individuals selling some items cheaper than we do, and some selling them for more than we do, just as in the high street. We take great pride in offering a fast, efficient, friendly and secure shopping experience, with great products at fair prices. We encourage our customers to shop around, but are very pleased to welcome them back again and again.

We guarantee to despatch your order when we say we will

If you order before 3pm, Monday to Friday and we have your items in stock , we’ll despatch the same day . If you order after 3pm, we’ll still try to despatch that day but, if we can’t, we’ll despatch the following day. Items ordered after 3pm Friday or over a weekend will be despatched Monday. Items despatched on Friday are for delivery the following week. Items ordered over a Bank Holiday will be despatched the next working day. MX5parts is constantly updated to keep pace with changes in our stock but demand is high and we occasionally run out of popular items. If we have run out of stock and can’t despatch your order the next working day, we’ll email or phone you with a revised despatch date. You can then either accept the revised dispatch date or cancel the order, as you wish. Please note that during special offer periods, dispatch of your order may be delayed slightly due to high a volume of orders.

We guarantee to replace any goods which aren’t suitable

We guarantee to accept back any goods that you do not want, are not suitable, have changed your mind about, infact, for ANY reason, provided the goods reach us within 30 days of dispatch from us, in their original condition and packaging. Please tell us why you are returning the items, just for our records. The original purchase price of the goods will be refunded on to the card that was used for their purchase. Sorry, but we can not refund the carriage costs.

We guarantee to sort out any problem with your order

Just contact us if you have any problems with an order from mx5parts. We’ll tell you exactly what steps we’re going to take to rectify the problem.

We guarantee full warranty support on all items

Just contact us if you have a warranty problem. All goods supplied by mx5parts are from official sources and are covered by the normal manufacturers warranty.

We guarantee that we will only charge your credit/switch card when your goods are dispatched

This is your right under UK law and, if we do anything else, it’s illegal!

(Please note: This doesn’t apply however if you have chosen to pay via PayPal. Due to the way PayPal works, you are effectively sending the money to us rather than us asking for it so in this instance we will have received payment at the time the order was placed and not when it is ready for dispatch).

We guarantee that we won’t pass your email details on to anyone else

Absolutely not. All your details are treated as strictly confidential. We’re internet users, too, and we know how annoying unsolicited email can be. We wouldn’t risk annoying you by being the cause of it.

We guarantee that shopping with us is safe

Our website uses the very latest secure server hardware and software, and is certified secure by COMODOs hackerguardian facility ensuring we are continuously PCI DSS Compliant.
