FYI...
As discussed at Pub Meet on Thursday... It would appear that most Mk-3 Owners with standard ICE can't play or support the MP3 format, despite the fact that it is clearly labelled on the face plate that it does. One of our members down south decided to pursue this legally, (sale of goods act etc..) coupled with black & white evidence in the handbook, he managed to get a new six disc player from Mazda.
quote Lyndon...
Having purchased a Mk3 in May of this year I was disappointed to find that the single CD player installed did not support MP3 although an MP3 sticker was attached to the unit.
Complaint was made to the dealer who argued the point. However, having provided legal argument and case law supporting my claim the dealer, agreed to install a six stack Bose system free of charge in order, that the MP3 sticker met with specific performance as, described in law.
The system is awesome containing something like 60 hours of music.
