I have the mazda official ipod kit for my 08 m3, but it's flaky at best with my iphone. Does anyone know if this is a better solution?

Works really well for me, installed it myself. Not too difficult so long as you don't mind fumbling through it a little.The product it's self is great though, plays music while charging your phone, works exactly as it's supposed to.

Yes. I was experiencing the same problem. This cable splits the USB (power and control) and RCA mini (audio), and runs them through a chip. You end up with fine audio through your vehicle, control over your iPod through the iDrive controls, and save $$ by not purchasing it through BMW. This product works great!

Works great with my x5 2001. Plays pandora also. When playing an album, you can use the steering wheel button to advance tracks. Also works with iPhone 5 when using the $40 apple interface cable

Hi, So it is a European Mazda vehicle and you have the European SD card that you bought from Tom Tom. We sold a couple and that is what they did. This comes with an SD card for North America Mazda vehicles ONLY, and it did work. I would love to sell this to you, but I am not 100% since I am not sure if the SD card you have is compatible. My advise is, send an inquiry to TOM TOM if your SD card is compatible with this unit (KJY2-79-EZXB). THANKS, JEF

Works fine with my stock radio. Navigating the menu is a little tricky though. Steering wheel controls work for volume/next/back. Source must be controlled by the head unit. Plugs into iPod classic. I hooked up a Bluetooth dongle to the iSimple to play music off my phone and that works too. But to talk on the phone, not so good.

Yes it works very well with iPod ipad iPhone. I highly recommend this Merc over the Ferrari . The speaker in it that plays music from your iPod and the remote opening doors are a beautiful touch. A really fantastic little car

Just an update:I ended up ordering the MHC-EC709ip from Amazon.com and crossed my fingers that it would work with my son's 4th generation iPod touch. I had called Sony and they would only repeat what the outdated manual and box indicated (meaning, it only states the supported Apple products that were available at the time the manual and box was designed). My son's iPod touch works perfectly, as does the iPhone 4 and 4s. I would be nice if Sony would just take a little time testing and update their product compatibility list. I can't tell you how many posts I found from 1-2 years ago saying it wouldn't work with anything but a 2nd generation iPod touch and didn't work with the 4th generation.

If you use an FM transmitter, like those from griffintechnology.com, yes - it works the same. No iPod does this right out of the box, they all need an accessory to transmit the music to the car stereo. Or, you can take the more effective route and get an Alpine or Pioneer car stereo that offers direct connection to the iPod via the Alpine KCA-420i - this provides a dock connector and allows the car stereo to directly control the iPod. I upgraded my wife's car stereo for her birthday to an Alpine with the KCA-420i and the sound is AMAZING... far better than using an FM transmitter.

My dash control does not recognize i phone. It does work on Aux but have to control from phone could have done that with just an audio cable

Just tried it in my 2008 Q7 and the MMI interface is stuck on "initializing device" and even after pairing, does not transmit sound. Though the Mpow device does work on an IPOD dock stereo. Must be an Audi thing.

Thanks, Darryl. I'm looking for a decent stereo system I can use with iPhone, iPod and iPad. I'd also like it to have CD capabilities. There are so many ways to go!

Honestly, mine didn't work at all and I hAve a Mazda 2005 3. The piece came broken for the sound adjustment, so I felt I wasted my money when I had such high hopes.

Yes, this seems to be a common problem across all BMW radios. I use mine on my Samsung Galaxy S4 Active. The Bluetooth drops, and comes back on every 10-15 minutes or so. Can get quite annoying. The only way out is to rip out the factory radio and put in an aftermarket unit with a dash kit. I ruins the aesthetics of the dash. But you do gain all the new technological features (HD/Sat radio, Pandora, BT streaming...etc).

I don't know if u need frames or not because I do not know anything about your vehicle. I'm about to replace that radio. The navigation works when it wants to and the CD player stop working as well. I love the radio with the iPhone tho.

I'd like to add one further data point to the Audi issue. On my 2010 A4 (B8) with MMI cable, it does work, although the connection is not that stable, and it frequently needs to be "re-paired."

May be a bad device. My car is a 2005 so it should work in yours. I bought 3 and 1 was defective, i exchanged it and the new one works fine. I have used it with my IPOD and iphone5.

Our car has a button for aux. when there, if the IPod is attached, it lists the iPod. If we then push enter, the playlists, songs, albums, etc come up as a choice. I don't know if you have the joy stick to navigate with or not.
