    MP3onChannel Review - How does it work?

    MP3onChannel Review

    MP3onChannel Review

    The small device fits into the 12V cigarette adapter in the dash. If you smoke and actually use that caveman era device, it's probably going to be a pain in the arse to use both. Luckily for me, I don't smoke, and have only ever used that port as a charge point for my iPAQ or cell phone. (Editor's note: some cars now come with a second cigarette adapter for just this reason).

    The bulbous end of the MP3onChannel sticks out, with a tiny dial for setting the FM frequency, and three buttons, one for the previous track, one to play/pause, and one for next track. It's a very, very basic set of controls.

    The track buttons also function as volume controls if you hold them down for longer than three seconds, but there's not much point to that. It's just easier to use your car's volume control (which on the Mazda3 is nicely placed on the steering wheel). One thing I had to get used to was reaching down to use that thing to change tracks, I've become addicted to using my left thumb to do so on the wheel. Since I drive a manual 5 speed, my right hand isn't too far away from the device, so it's just a matter of retraining myself.
