I don't think so, since my burned cds don't work on my nb sp which is a similar unit(?)

If you want a quick cheap fix to play your mp3's you could buy an ipod fm transmitter. You'll loose a bit of sound quality though.

Thanks guys..
I guess another option will be to get an adaptor for USB or Ipod..

Dave,

Do you mind explaining how it would connect up to the original HU? Do I need to pull the HU out and connect at the back of it.. I think I can manage that.
I don't mind the unfriendlyness if it is not too expensive.. Normally I just leave it in a playlist.. but all my music is on the Itouch.

Also if this part can be purchased from Mazda here in Australia..

Thanks for the info. That's crazy amount from Mazda for Ipod adaptor. :shock:

Will venture with some aftermarket solutions.. I have found a few already but trying to see which one is most popular..
