The file 'Use A Mazda Tribute Tape Unit In An MPV 3D Printer Model' is (FCStd,stl) file type, size is 49.5KB.
I was in the junkyard getting an AM/FM radio CD changer for my 2005 Mazda MPV. I wanted to get a tape unit too (if even to just use it for a cassette adapter aux in), but there weren't any for MPV's.
I read somewhere that the units were all modular and interchangeable, and there were plenty of tape units in the Mazda Tributes. So I took a chance and Frankenstein'd the tape unit from a Tribute into the MPV's changer unit.
When I got home, sure enough, it worked.
The only thing is the Tribute's tape unit faceplate module is smaller than the MPV's opening.
So I was left with 3 options
Leave it like it looked. (unsightly)
Take a chance and buy a faceplate module unit for an MPV. (costs money)
So I chose #3.
I literally just have it sitting in place, no adhesive or anything. It doesn't fall out.
I really hope this can be useful to someone out there in a similar situation.
The MPV has an excellent sound system, I usually have the rear speakers louder and the sound just envelops you.
