Mazda RX-8 iPod Installation

Slide the little hole cover back into place. You can stick the cable around the edge of the cup holders

Righty-Tighty

Now route the cable in through the little notch that leads into the inner center console. Plug in your Belkin iPod car adapter into that outlet, angle it at 45° and you will be able to plug the black cable into it as shown. Bundle up the extra audio cable and guide the Belkin's dock connector cable back out through the same notch. The audio out of the Belkin is a line level output, but it does have a small knob to fine tune the volume so you can match it exactly to the volume of FM (or CD is you prefer).

Also, the Belkin adapter is cool because its very neat, only one cable to your iPod, AND it automatically pauses your iPod when you turn your car off. So you never have to worry about turning anything off. Just kill the motor, slide the cover closed and your set.

Set Your Clock!
You just unplugged your radio from all power, so the time is lost. You have to reset your clock. Heres how:

Press the CLK button until a beep sounds, and "12Hr" and "24Hr" will be displayed.
Press the SET button to switch between "12Hr" and "24Hr" displays. The selected display will flash. To select the desired clock setting, press the CLK button again while the preferred setting is flashing.
"Hr. ADJUST" will be displayed next, and the hour portion of the display will flash. Press the SET button to set the hour, then press the CLK button.
"Min. ADJUST" will be displayed next, and the minutes portion of the display will flash. Press the SET button to set the minutes, then press the CLK button.
