Today I did a job for a Mazda dealership that had a problem with installing a Pioneer Navigation System that is sold as an accessory from Mazda. The problem was that they had sold the Pioneer Navigation system to the customer but when they came to fit the system, the Mazda instructions said you could not fit this to a car that had Bose fitted from manufacture. The dealership then contacted me with the problem and I said that with a little wiring modification and sound level adjusters I could install the Pioneer Navigation into the Mazda 6.I proceeded to fit the navigation and then realised that the adapter that Mazda supply with the Navigation upgrade package for the steering wheel control would not allow the use of the phone buttons on the steering wheel to work with the Pioneer navigation Bluetooth facility. I then used an steering wheel adapter that I hold in stock that I can programme what buttons do what when connected to the Pioneer Navigation System. The Mazda dealership was very happy that we had fitted the system and managed to still use the Bose amplifier as well as the buttons on the steering wheel that control the phone functions.
Another job with a twist that makes every day different.
