I'm not 100% sure but I think all the 09s have the aux input. I haven't used it yet, but the manual says the Media button makes it work.

Nope. My 2009 GT has both nav and blue tooth.

I had mine done yesterday and the difference is VERY noticeable.

I have a Bell bike rack that I bought at Wally World for about $30. It straps on the back, holds two bikes, and works really well for me. How much are you going to pay for the dealership rack?

Both my CX-7 and my wife's Miata were affected, but since the fix both have been operating very well. Maybe it's because the leaves are mostly off the trees now, but even in the Great Smokey Mountains National Park my reception has been nearly perfect. On a trip to Williamsburg, VA it didn't...

My wife's Miata has the keycard system in it - we've had it since March without any problem. The only incident we had with it happened while I was in physical therapy and the card was in my back pocket. Every time I did a leg lift the horn would honk - it must have pressed one of the buttons...

Well, you do get 6 months free to try it out which should give you enough time to figure out whether you like it or not. If you live in a mountain area as I do, there are some dead spots to contend with. I'm at a point where I'm really hooked on Sirius...it sounds so much better than regular...

If you're so hooked on the iPod, unscrew the antenna then use your FM transmitter to heart's content. I found this worked really well for me when the Sirius debacle was underway and I was using an aftermarket Sirius radio.

Woo hoo!! It worked. Sirius back online after two weeks and a day. I must say I'm not impressed with how long it took. I notice in the letter that there's no mention of credit - looks like there'll still need to be useless phone calls to get that part resolved.

Just received from Sirius... Dear SIRIUS Satellite Radio Subscriber: Thank you for your continued patience as we work with Mazda to correct the problem that has interrupted service to some SIRIUS subscribers. We have determined that the problem is not related to the SIRIUS broadcast system...

Yeah, I got mine yesterday, and my wife got one for her Miata a few weeks ago. Nice touch.

Having done the battery thing myself, I learned that the owner's manual describes how to restore the auto up-down function of the windows. No need to take it back to the dealer.

Well, I just had a very lengthy conversation with Sirius in which they admitted or at least acknowledged that there is a problem with Mazdas and Sirius. Sirius said they are working with Mazda to get a resolution which they will have by Monday. On Monday I am to move my CX-7 to a clear area...

Sirius told me today that the problem will be cleared up by tomorrow morning, and they told me that no intervention would be required on my part. I wonder. Meanwhile I'm listening to CDs I haven't played in a long time.

Well, Sirius did an update today adding new channels or whatever, and now my receiver has been in update mode for most of the day. After a lifetime on hold Sirius says they have no clue and call Mazda. They tried resetting, but no change. I disconnected a battery terminal to force a reset...
