Review on ๐Ÿ”Œ Premium 2m Goliton AUX 3.5mm Cable: Connect iPod, iPhone, MP3, Phone Audio to Mazda Car Player by Centerfold Montague

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works well, easier to install than I thought.

I've read other reviews that said the wires in the white connector could come loose and I noticed that the metal pins were a bit loose (2 or 3mm slightly displaced) so I have a little maneuver with it Superglue is done on the white connector before even checking if the connection was good. Removing the dash on my 2006 Mazda5 manual transmission with a 6 disc CD player was MUCH easier than I expected. I watched one of the YouTube videos in the series mentioned in other reviews and found it helpful, although it was a Mazda5 automatic transmission, which is slightly different from the MT. I'm new to disassembling dashboards and was nervous so I googled and found some pdf's from car radio manufacturers describing Mazda5 manual transmission disassembly. The PDFs were very helpful as they showed me where all the clips are and where to pry them off without damaging the bezel. Let's get back to the product. Media button on Stereo and my iPhone was connected and playing at a good volume range with no engine noise. Cable length is good - longer than I expected. (Unfortunately I can't measure it because it's already installed.) I thought of deducting a star for the BIG headphone adapter plug. To pass it, a large hole had to be drilled in the dashboard. It would be nice to either have a smaller plug or to come to the white adapter with the wires NOT attached and just a diagram of which hole to put each wire clip in so you can thread the wire through the tiny hole in the Thread the dashboard and then attach the white adapter. But I ended up just throwing it out at the bottom of the dash next to the carpet. It may not look "professional," but it doesn't bother or hurt your eyes. Great product, especially for the price!
