Yatour Digital Music CD Changer Compatible with Bluetooth Function Car Adapter Hands Fress Call Adapter USB charging For Mazda 2 3 5 6 MX-5 RX-8 MPV etc

Outstanding! Straightforward install on 2006 RX-8. Plenty of resources online. IMPORTANT: Make sure your factory audio has compatible firmware. Look it up. BT connection is reliable and rock-solid on my Google Pixel phones (4a 5g and 8a). Microphone audio quality is acceptable. I want to keep the factory look while upgrading audio with just speakers and an amp. With this and a phone mount, I don't miss the newer Android Auto Bose audio head units on my newer cars. It preserves the steering wheel audio control functionality and adds phone functionality -- answer (FF tap during ring); reject (FF hold during ring); private (FF hold during call); hang-up (FF tap during call). I don't have an iPhone, so I can't comment on how this pairs with that.

This item matched up to my 2004 Mazda RX8 with a Bose Radio/6 CD changer system. Please note all radio and CD functions work as they did before the install. My radio has the 9.53 version firmware and it really sounds great! Even though the specifications state (RX-8 radio firmware version must be v9.55 or later, v10.01 and v9.81 not supported). I have the Sirus app on my iPhone and the music sounds crisp and clear. All music apps sound super clear through the radio. I also installed the microphone and I can receive calls through the steering wheel controls or on the dash. Read through the instruction manual a few times before installing. Once the car ignition is turned on the bluetooth is enabled. The device can act as a charger for your phone with your own USB line ( I purchased a long version and ran it to the console) and for older phones the 3.5mm jack can be used or anything that can plug in for stored music if it didn't have bluetooth capability.

After connecting everything I tested it and was unable to hear my audio through the aux cable input and bluetooth. I discovered that it defaults to input 1 = Bluetooth (input 2 = Aux). After I figured out how to switch inputs on my head unit (press 1 or 2 buttons) I was able to hear music as intended. The input volume is pretty low for connected devices. If you want to leave your AM/FM, CD volume about the same, then crank up your iphone/ipod input volume when connecting, then adjust using the steering wheel or radio control knob. Sound works great though. I'm finally able to listen to siriusXM radio (using the app) through my car stereo :) A feature Mazda made accommodations for but never fully executed.

Installation is already as it is then you will be disappointed with static noise syncing with the rpm of the car…

This adapter provides the clearest sound of any Bluetooth solution of any that I've tried, and I've tried a bunch. The reason I give it 4 stars rather than 5 is that I still get some background noise. It's not nearly as bad as the many FM transmitters that I tried, but it's there. Ease of installation will, of course, depend on how hard it is to pull the stereo unit in your car. I found a YouTube video showing me exactly how to get it done on my 2008 Mazda RX-8. It's not perfect, but, again, it's the best I've found. I recommend it.

An excellent option for those cars that were built after cassette decks fell out of favor but before auxiliary audio inputs were the norm. I was able to install this in my 2004 RX-8 (firmware ver. 9.55) in about 45 minutes pretty easily. It literally just plugs in and works, no muss, no fuss. I can also report that all the audio buttons on the steering wheel and console still work and the fast-forward and rewind buttons even work as the skip back and ahead buttons in my podcast app. Making calls over it with the included microphone also seems to work just fine. Overall I couldn't be happier.

Did not like this product. Installed on my 2006 Mazda 6 properly as instructed but when I pressed the cd button it just said “no cd” and would not play the Bluetooth adapter, very disappointed I paid 85 dollars for this and won’t work.

I installed this on a 2004 Mazda RX-8 (w/o the Bose radio). It was plug and play. Also the steering wheel controls work to control my Iphone music apps. I have yet to use the charging port or the six port for more than a few minutes but they seem to be working correctly. The whole setup costed a little more than I wanted to pay but so far it has exceeded my expectations. I will update the review and rating if I end up having issues in the future.
