Replying to: kanata (Apr 23, 2006 3:13 am) Welcome to the club In fact today I just got a Sirius Radio from my dealer....it's in a plastic package, the "do it yourself" kit. I'm scratching my head how I'm going to install the cables and first of all...where I'm going to put this little box, ...attached to the windshield...on the dash...attached to the sunshades...I think I have to ask a specialist....I'm afraid I'm going to do a mess!

Replying to: caliaghi (Apr 29, 2006 11:40 pm) Thanks caliaghi.   I'm also going to install the Sirius Radio. There is one thing to consider I think is very important.   If your M5 has side-curtain airbags (as mine does) then I would be hesitant routing the antenna cable above the doors (inside the trim) as was recommended by my dealer. The cable could interfere with the correct operation of the side curtains.   Also, the Sirius Mazda deal includes installation, so you sholdn't have to do it yourself. From the press release, 'Toronto, April 4, 2006 — Mazda Canada Inc. and SIRIUS Canada Inc. today announced that for a limited time, customers purchasing or leasing any new 2006 Mazda will receive a SIRIUS Satellite Radio plug-and-play receiver at no extra charge. The promotion runs from April 4 until May 31, 2006 and includes installation of the plug-n-play device as well as a 12-month subscription to SIRIUS Canada ...'. I got confirmation from the Mazda Canada head office that installation is included.   If you get the dealer to install, make sure the cable does not interfere with the side curtain!

Replying to: caliaghi (Apr 29, 2006 11:40 pm) Hey there, the radio should be able to "flip" the display so that you can attach it almost anywhere and read the display. I placed mine on the passenger side of the bulkhead and the antennae wire is placed under the dash to the right side of the dash. You can install them there, it doesnt have to be outside. Works great, my dealer put it in for free ! Replies to this message: riproy (Mar 14, 2007 7:07 am) maltb (Mar 15, 2007 8:21 am) kanata (Apr 17, 2007 8:38 am)

Replying to: kce (Aug 12, 2006 8:07 pm) I'm interested in the time and effort you put into this process. I too want to do this, but from the photos on the step by step, it looks like this would take longer then 30 minutes. Can you clarify where the main Audio line unit goes in installation? Does it fit behind the stereo or do you need to use the glove box to mount?   Appreciate your input. Replies to this message: kce (Feb 01, 2007 10:58 pm)
#54 of 107 Tape Player & Face Plate for Mazda 5 by szeto Nov 08, 2006 (5:48 pm)
Has anyone purchased a tape cassette player to fit in the empty slot beneath the radio/CD changer unit? The Mazda OEM machine costs over $140 with the face plate costing another $65. Seems quite expensive. What about a third party unit? Would it fit nicely? Any advice? Is the face plate really that beneficial? Replies to this message: kw_da (Dec 25, 2006 2:25 pm)
#55 of 107 Adding tweeter speakers to 4 speaker system by joseph15 Dec 17, 2006 (5:08 pm)
I just purchased a Mazda 5 Sport with Popular Package that includes the 6 CD radio. Also AT and Homelink mirror. Love the car. The only thing I'd love to have that isn't available as an option for the Sport, is the six speaker system than comes with the Touring model. Has anyone looked in to adding tweeter speakers to the front pillars - Is it feasible?

Replying to: northdennis (Oct 23, 2006 12:20 pm) The main audio line plugs into the back of the stereo, and it is easily fed behind the stereo through an existing opening on the right side of the stereo to the glove box where you plug it into your ipod. It did take me only 30 minutes- the hardest part was getting my navigation joystick unplugged on the panel that fits over the shifter. I have unfortunately have had problems with the system since installation, where it suddenly stops playing while driving. I am probably going to make sure everything is plugged in well, but wanted to let you know I have had some problems. Hope that helps!
