How to Install an MP3 Player in a Miata
The Mazda Miata (also known as the Mazda MX-5) is a two seat car built by the Japanese car company Mazda in Hiroshima, Japan. While more modern models of the roadster may come equipped with the latest in audio technology, including an integrated six-disc/MP3 changer or a dock for popular devices like the iPod, older models may not contain these useful accessories. However, through the use of a simple and inexpensive car cassette adapter, it is possible to install and enjoy an MP3 player in a Miata in just a few easy steps.
