Dealer-Installed iPod Adapter Does the Buyer Few Favors

2011 MAZDASPEED3_32-220.jpgLook on the center stack of your new Mazda3, in front of the cupholders, in the console, in the glovebox: There’s no iPod adapter. Mazda hasn’t forgotten you. You’ve got to have the iPods adapter installed by the dealer. Unfortunately, with the Mazda3 (see review), a feature that adds just a few dollars in costs when integrated into every new car at the factory will likely set you back more than $500. A local dealer quoted me $565 — $325 for the adapter and $240 (two hours of shop time) for installation.
