First off what unit are you using? Second off you're getting alternator whine from the aux input. Mazda poorly shielded the the audio input when they installed it.... I imagine just a cost cutting measure.

Buy a ground loop isolator. You can get them from radio shack in RCA-RCA. You most likely need a 3.5mm-3.5mm since that's what the audio input is. HERE's a 3.5mm one for ~$17.

Well there you go. Let us know how the GLI works out. I'm sure it'll solve your problem.
