Other owners can be found in the Mazda5 Owners: Accessories & Modifications discussion, so try asking in there.

The SAT button is for Sirius, the module costs a bundle at around $370US. I put an XM receiver in my 5 with the control unit between the seats and the antenna on the rear roof with the cable routed in the roof drain, down the windshield trim, into the engine compartment, and through the firewall where the bulk of the cars wiring goes through a large rubber grommet. It's an easier install than it sounds and it looks clean & hidden. Also, I have the audio going directly into the head unit with the nice 'AuxIn' module, uses the cassette input and since I have long since thrown out my cassette collection....

I have an XM MYFi and the car mount fits nicely on the driver’s side of the center console. I put the antenna on the small overhang between the ignition and the center console and it gets great reception. I keep the car power adapter plugged in all the time because it's location of the power plug at the bottom of the center console keeps it and the wires conveniently located out of the way. No need to run anything outside of the car.
I’ve had my Mazda5 Sport for about a week and love it.

Any way you could post some pictures of your installation? I like the idea of not having to run cables all over the car, cutting holes, etc. Thanks.

where is this grommet on the firewall which allows you to put the cable through? I am thinking of installing both the XM and and Amplifier and would like to know where is the best place to get through the firewall.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I installed my Delphi Roady XT and connected it via the Aux Mod but now I get a horrendous amount of line noise. Has anyone found a good inline supressor that uses the cigarette lighter?

Has anyone purchased a Mazda5 with the DVD system installed? My wife and I really liked the M5. We have a van with a DVD player in it and will not buy another vehicle without one, but I noticed it's a dealer installed option on the Mazda5. You can't select it on the build Mazda webpage, but it is in the options page. Anyone here have it?? One Mazda dealer here has 10 M5's, none with it.

The DVD player has yet to be released by Mazda. Best guesses say that it will be available sometime in July. Stay tuned...
If you are curious as to what the functionality or look is, check out the DVD system in the MPV as they are identical: only the mounting has changed.

Thanks for the info! I'm surprised they've waited this long. Well, I'm keeping this car on my list.
