what accessory?

i bought my 8 new last month and had to go to dealer 4x to get a stalling problem fixed. it ended up being a fuse problem. anyways... i filled out a survey and i said i wasnt happy that i had to go 4x to get it fixed. so mazda called me saying that they will give me a free accessory or free 1st oil change. im leaning towards the accessory. what should i get?

i believe there is a ipod adapter accessory they offer. That may not be too bad. Or floormats if they didnt come in your vehicle already.

Oil change is just a $30 item, so that's almost an insult.

Do you have the RX-8 accessory brochure? You should be able to download it from mazdausa.com. Or browse accessories on the site. Hopefully something will appeal to you.

As far as I know, no dealers consider MS stuff your normal accessories.

You may be able to get strakes ($150 value from Mazda), I think those are the most costly thing they have as an accessory.

the module that goes into the headunit.

Just FYI, the sirius radio will not work with the OEM ipod adaptor. You said you have a FM transmitter, so I don't think it'll matter to you.
