I have a similar setup with my 07 Mazda 3 (6 disc stock HU) with an aftermarket pop-up screen, garmin gvn53 navi, and power acoustic dvd player. My question is regard to wiring the sound.

Currently I have the dvd player's audio rca's inputs hooked up to the HU via a wired FM modulator, however, the Garmin GVN53 navi unit has another set of audio rca inputs which is not hooked up. Currently I am relying only on the little speaker which is included with the Garmin for sound.

Does anyone know how to integrate another set of RCA inputs into the factory HU while keeping the ACI? Would an OEM input switch box (P/N TD1379CFZ) and some type of adapter work?

Thanks for the feedback!

I used one of the pie adapters. http://www.pie.net/pie_store/shopdis...hanger+Present

I allows you to have another input. I put a splitter at the end of it because I needed 2 inputs and didnt want to bother with a FM modulator. I see these around every once and a while on the mazda3forums.com
