Hey I just want to bye an good ipod, so could anybody tell me which one is good and have maximum features.
Please relpy me:)

Has anybody ever had their XCarLink (formerly known as AudioLink) iPod Integrator Kit totally die on them?

I bought a used one awhile back, when I first joined the forum, and I've been using it happily for a couple years now. Recently my connecting cord started to develop a short in it, and would constantly "fuzz" and cut-out audio when I would touch or move it.

Long-story-short, I ordered a replacement cord from The RPM store and the new cord arrived yesterday. I swaped out the failing one, for the new one, and almost immediately, the entire integrator appears to have shorted out. Now whenever I hit my "CD" button on my stereo to activate auxiliary mode, all I get is a "NO DISC" message on my display. It's as if the entire integrator kit is no longer being recognized as being plugged-in. (?)

Anyway.... I'm just wondering if anybody has ever had anything similar happen to them, and for that matter, if somebody actually has an integrator kit laying around, I maybe would like to take it off your hands.

If somebody REALLY wants to be awesome, what I'd like to do, is actually just test out a working one, to make sure that it's my integrator kit that's DOA, and not my actual stereo head unit, no longer recognizing the aux input. I know that's probably a longshot, but it would help me out a lot before I start spending money on a replacement that may not end up doing me any good.

Thanks ya'll!

Idunno about Mazda, but a lot of OEM head units are designed that way. Rented a Hyundai a while back and that's exactly how it was, BT for phone audio only. Probably more difficult to stream music over BT and retain quality...

Bump, for anybody using one of these...

I think Number2 had a similar issue, but his never worked from the start, same error I think...
Mine's worked so far for the 8 months i've had it...

When I first purchased this, I got help with the installation. Does anybody have any links or tips for how I get behind the stereo/console to get my integrator unplugged?

My car of course, is an MS6.
