I also saw a brochure about a device or something that allows ipod's and such to input into the stereo. Anyone done either of these upgrades?
 
I installed what is called an "auxmod" about 6 months ago (around $50) and it works great. The installation could be pretty intimidating for a newbie, but there are websites that will show you pictures of what to do step by step. Anyway, I printed all the pages and went to work and found it was really very easy. Just a little time consuming since I didn't want to make any mistakes...
 
But now I have an input in the center console and in the center glove box (the one above the stereo) since I used a splitter. I use one for when I use my gps w/ mp3 capability - nice since the music mutes when voice commands are given from the gps unit and the voices come out my car speakers so it's easier to hear. But the gps unit I have is really a crappy mp3 player, so the center console input is great for when I want to use my better mp3 player.
 
Basically, you have to remove a few parts from the interior (cup holder, shift console, glove box screw (hard to explain w/ out pics), and the stereo/ hvac faceplate). It took me a couple hours to do after reading the how-to's.

To turn off the beep do the following:
 
1. Turn off the radio
2. Press and hold the "seek"-down button
3. Press and hold the "5" button until a beep confirms the setting
 
The beep should be gone for all radio controls but not for the climate controls.

I don't have them, but I would think 19s would be almost guaranteed to give you a harsher ride. Around here, the short sidewalls would mean bent rims in short order -- it's pothole season.
 
Does anyone know of a source for the little clip-on parts that fit on the back of the headlights? The white plastic piece that allows you to use a phillips screwdriver to adjust the lights is what I'm talking about. I just had my lights replaced at dealer cost since the dust/moisture cover sockets were damaged, and even the new lights come with only one of these little angle drives. The lights will accept 3 more on each side and having them would make adjusting the lights almost easy. The dealer says they are not available as a part, the junkyards around here don't have any, and neither do the body shops. Apparently all the 6 drivers are being good and not wrecking their cars.

I love my 18" 48 offset with 235 tire width. looks perfect on the car. in fact it can stand it's own against a merc parked next to it with those wheels.

there are some guys who have switched to 19's on mazda6club ... you may want to check out their comments over there. look for the wheels/ tires section and you should find some answers there. but be ready to roll your fenders!

I've had the M6 for a week which is loaded GTs and have the following impressions:
 
1) My car came with 18" wheels and Pirelli P Zeros. Can't see bigger wheels. Probably much more wheels and tires than the power of the car justifies
 
2) Don't see the big deal about Homelink. Programming seems to be a PITA and I have an extra garage door opener
 
3) Bose 200 watt stereo is seriously underwhelming. Considering speaker upgrades and an amp as well. This stereo should sound much better than it does. This is probably the biggest disappointment with the car other than the desire for more power
