I was trying the build and price option on mazda.ca an I was a bit confused by all the accessories:

All-Weather Floor Mats $107.75

Aluminum Fuel-Filler Door, Satin TBD
Ashtray Replacement Compartment $48.00
Auto-Dimming Mirror with Compass & Temperature $359.09
Auto-Dimming Mirror with Compass, Temperature & Homelink® $539.95

>> Does this mean a vanity mirror? what is homelink.

Cargo Mat $59.08
Cargo Net $28.50
Cargo Tray $75.31
Cassette Player $280.00
Decorative Trim, Instrument Panel $143.50
Door Switch Panels $201.95
Engine Block Heater TBD
Front Aero Flares $549.99

>> What is this?

Front Mask $212.77
In-Dash 6-Disc CD Changer $729.00
Leather-Accented Gear Shift Knob $163.25
Leather-Accented Parking-Brake Handle $165.75
Lower Door Mouldings $553.69

>> would this be like a skirt?

MiniDisc Player $743.75
MP3 Player $565.25

>> What is the MP3 player? A harddrive or will it just let the cd play mp3s? Does anyone know if you need to burn the discs in a special way (ie no folders, 8 letter filenames?)

Rear Aero Flares $549.99
Rear Bumper Skirt $350.90
Rear Bumper Step Plate $26.00
Wheel Arch Mouldings $550.25

>> Are there any pics of these body options?

Wheel Locks $31.20

I was planning on asking the dealer to throw in a bunch of these options since they said they couldn't move much on price, but most of them seem pretty useless. I was thinking of getting the MP3 player but I have a feeling it won't be implemented well.

HomeLink is a wireless control system that learns codes for up to remote control devices (Garage door, security lights, entry gates, etc)

Front Aero Flares $549.99

I think it's the latter. Normal cd player that can play MP3. Not sure about this. I've never had an MP3 player installed before.

Rear Aero Flares $549.99
Rear Bumper Skirt $350.90
Rear Bumper Step Plate $26.00

thanks for the pics they were very helpful. The only option I'm considering is an mp3 player but I am a bit apprehensive cause I'm not sure how well designed it is. I thought i saw a post on one of these boards that said the mp3 player cannot navigate through directories. $500 is also pretty steep for a mp3 cd player you could almost get an ipod for that price. I might just get a tape player and do the line out mod to it

A quote from another section.

For the mp3, it display id3tag (name of the album, name of the artist, song name and files name) it takes 2-3sec to switch between directory, the only 'bad' thing is that the "random" doesnt work in the whole cd but just in a single directory

Try asking 6 owners in other forums. The MP3 player in 6 should be the same as 3.

just a piece of advice on the mp3 player. its not worth it! yes u can put hundreds of songs on it, but all it does it read mp3's on a conventional CD. you can actually buy a discman that does this for practically nothing. i was just in florida on vacation (from toronto) and i bought two of them for $19.99 US a piece. so consider that all ur doing is buying THE SAME THING but build to custom fir the mz3, for a mere $500! even tho it may not look as nice, id rather save over $400, buy a kit to plug the discman into the stereo plus the cost of the discman and put my savings into a spoiler, or for that matter, gas, a necessity! thats just my two cents

Aluminum Fuel-Filler Door, Satin TBD

Is the price of this option still un-determined? Did anybody get this option, I'm thinking of getting this when i buy my mz3 in April.
