Today (Sunday) I started to research how to hardwire an iPod into my car, a 2006 Mazda3. The factory installed stereo has no tapedeck, but it does have an intriguing Media button on the front panel. The question is, how to connect? I found a little doohickey from Logic3 that breaks out the iPod line level signal to two RCA plugs, and a nice flickr set showing how to pull out the stereo head. Everything worked great except that the stereo doesn’t have anything resembling a standard input. Apparently you have to buy a third party solution of one sort or other to connect everything together. So this project is still in progress…
