Well....better get rid of the RX-8 licence plate holder.... hell, why not remove the clear corners and stick some saran wrap over them.... You're my hero Jason...

 

just put in a delphi myfi. small magnet mount antena. got 2 years of service just before the price increase. the thing is amazing. i can record stuff to listen to later.

am using it through fm tuner right now and it is not to bad.

I have a 2004 RX-8 that did NOT come with the SAT button. I was thinking of making a new thread for this, but here goes. I have the Mazda OEM satellite radio installed in my car now. Anyone who says it is not possible is dead wrong. Here's what you need:

new faceplate (highly recommend) p/n FE04-66-9H0 $462 retail
new head unit (don't have the p/n in front of me) $280 retail
Sirius kit $399 retail
Sirius install kit $11 retail

ALL that needs to be changed is the head unit and the face plate. Any 2004 RX-8 can be equipped with the satellite radio if these parts are ordered. It is absolutely no different from the 2005 RX-8 once these parts are installed.

Now, Mazda would not cover the cost for any of the parts for the 2004 RX-8. However, despite what the dealer says or even some customer service rep at Mazda, Mazda is legally obligated to upgrade at no cost any 2005 RX-8 that did not come with the SAT button. The reason is simple: since the car was advertised as having such, they must provide it. If they don't, they can be sued. If you have a 2005 without the SAT button and want satellite radio, fight for it! You are entitled to it.

 

and the truth shall set you free!

 

$1152 is a bit pricey for sat radio...

 

that is retail and doesn't include selling your current HU or a swap

 

I have velcro strip holding antenna to back window deck. Wire runs inside console trim strip to plug and play laying in front console. Power from console plug. I have Audiovox SP2 but JVC with red light looks nice. One year with no problems and 3 bar signal most of time. Sorry if everyone knows this already. $100 to $150 attractive to me over $1000 plus option.

 

Ok smarty pants... lets say you could get COST on all those things, or you DIDNT live with your parents at the age of 22 and out of college... <<jab jab>> and got the parts for $800 bucks... why would anyone spend that much money when you can get just as good of sound with the PIE or AUXmod and an XM Commander? Just seems like a waste... No go back to the garage and get that Xbox fully integrated and stop messin around!

=P I hope everyone knows that we are actually friends and dont really hate each others guts!
