Alright I have read through this whole thread and still have some questions. I am picking up an '09 MS3 GT. The dealer said that it would cost them $642to install Sirius, and 434 for the IPOD module, which I think is a bit steep. Can I install both or is it either one or the other? I want to stick with OEM parts. From what I understand I need to buy the Ipod Module and switchbox, and Sirius receiver. How difficult is the install on the two? I have installed plenty of receivers before, but is it best to leave it to a professional since its a brand new car and will be covered under warranty?
The switchbox is only for '07-'08 models. For the '09 model you'll need the sirius module, and the ipod module w/ sirius. There are two different ipod install kits.... one for use with sirius, and one for use without. Both of these are easily installable by you for free if you don't have any problems disassembling the interior of the car (ridiculously easy) and running some wires...... That should save you about $3-400 right there.
