mazda cd/mp3 player

[lightman]

I\'m thinking of ordering the 6 disc /mp3 changer from the US cause its a lot cheaper and would like to know if the trip computer is built into the radio or is it part of the ecu on the car. as I was thinking that maybe a US model of the HU would have the consumption in mpg rather than liters?

Anyone have a VW phatbox for sale? of know where i can get one other than ebay. That would proberly be my best option for my mp3\'s, can you get the interface cable from a canadian dealer?

That\'s a good question......if anybody knows please post up, I\'d like to know also. I doubt if there\'s a way to toggle between litres and gallons.

I\'m so used to MPG from reading American car magazines that I always calculate my fuel usage to MPG anyway. So maybe it\'s not such a bad thing for some?

I will have one brand new cable for sale in the near future. It\'s a long story, but I will have one extra to get rid of.

Thanks for the replys everyone
I think i will just get a phatbox seems like the easiest solution and least expensive.

Has anyone here have any dealings with radioactive in Burlington? I was at a clients yesterday and saw the store so I went in and got some pricing on upgrading my audio, the guy there seems to know what he\'s talking about, I would like to know if their installs are good?
Prices weren\'t bad either.
