NOTE: 

You will need an audio cable with an 1/8 inch (3.5 mm)  

mini stereo plug (available as a Genuine Mazda accessory) to  

connect your portable audio player into the AUX jack. 

IMPORTANT: 

•  Set the volume level on your portable audio player to the highest level before 

distortion starts, then use the vehicle’s audio system to adjust the volume.

•  Unplug any device from the USB port and accessory socket before turning off 

the vehicle. Leaving devices plugged in can drain the battery and cause issues 

during the Bluetooth pairing process at start-up. Wait about 15 seconds after 

starting the vehicle before plugging anything into the USB port.
