I want to install satellite radio in my new Mazda3 GS Sport. For those of you reading this outside of Canada we only have 3 trim packages with these radio options:
GX which has 4 speaker audio and the non-touchscreen radio.
GS which has 6 speaker with touchscreen system with optional Nav.
GT which has 9 speaker Bose, Nav, with optional Sirius.
Has anyone tried upgrading their stereo to get sirius? Would I just have to swap out the radio control module and run the antenna for it or what? Looking at the service manual I can't tell if there are different parts or what I need to do. Obviously it would be cheaper to just install an aftermarket radio and connect it to the aux input, but it would look much better to not have this extra thing stuck to my windshield
