    Mazda Partners With PhatNoise on Digital Music System

    IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Mazda North American Operations
    today announced steps to make sure that drivers never miss a beat. Mazda, in
    a partnership with PhatNoise, will soon begin offering the PhatBox Digital
    Media Player as a dealer-installed accessory in all Mazda vehicles.
    The PhatBox Digital Media Player integrates seamlessly with existing Mazda
    sound systems and will provide drivers with hundreds of hours of music without
    having to search through compact discs or flip radio stations. The PhatBox
    can be trunk-mounted and stores music on a removable 20-gigabyte hard drive
    that can be transferred between multiple PhatBox units.
    The system is controlled by the existing CD changer controls on all Mazda
    radios, with an interface designed to make finding music simple. Using the
    radio panel screen, PhatBox displays artist and disc titles, and, for factory
    radios on the MAZDA3, MAZDA6, Miata, and RX-8, offers voice-assisted browsing
    with an SSA (Simple Stereo Architecture)/Voice interface. This device allows
    drivers to utilize voice command music selection for close to 3,500 song
    titles without ever taking their hands off the wheel.
    "Mazda continues to be focused on providing fun-to-drive cars and trucks
    with the most advanced multimedia systems available," said Jack Stavana,
    director of accessory operations. "The addition of PhatBox to our
    industry-leading accessories program enhances the overall Mazda driving
    experience with customized, portable premium sound."
    Mazda's industry-leading accessories program makes MiniDisc players,
    Sirius satellite radio, 6-disc in-dash CD and cassette players available to
    customers as port-and-dealer-installed options. Thanks to easily adaptable
    factory sound systems, adding the media player of choice is affordable and
    covered by Mazda's new-car warranty. The PhatBox system, which allows drivers
    to have access to their entire music collection while on the move, will
    initially be offered as a Mazda dealer-installed accessory.

    Mazda North American Operations is responsible for the sales and
    marketing, customer parts and services support of Mazda vehicles in the United
    States. Headquartered in Irvine, Calif., MNAO has more than 700 dealerships
    nationwide.
