Sirius satellite radio
I've recently bought a 2005 Mazda 3 which is "Sirius satellite radio ready".
I'd like to add Sirius to it, but Mazda wants over $500 to provide the tuner and install it. Stand alone Sirius units for the dash or windshield can now be bought for $50 and include the tuner, the control box/receiver, and antenna, but I'd rather use the control panel/CD player that's already in the car and ready to display Sirius. Nobody seems to sell the tuner so Mazda has us--really an enormous rip-off. Does anyone know a way around this--anywhere where this tuner can be purchased at a reasonable price? Also, does anyone know what brand of CD player Mazda uses in the 3--that may help in tracking down the correct tuner. Thanks. |

I found it cheaper to just replace the entire unit. Also,
you might want to look into XM radio instead of Sirius. My much less than exhaustive research has led me to believe that XM is more likely to be around in a few years and I think their fee is a little cheaper.
