I have an XM Commander installed and it cost about $160. It transmits through the existing radio--does not require any disruption of existing radio. The antenna is small and was installed on the trunk lid, though it could be put elsewhere. The XM, when running, will disturb FM radio reception, so I don't know whether it might also interfere with GPS signals, but when turned off it does not do so. I don't know why it would have anything to do with the navigation system.

I do not like the "extra" thing on the dash. Most new cars offer it as a factory install to their radio. I'm surprised Mazda does not. Infiniti has a nice package with their G35's.

No drilling. The cigarette lighter and ashtray were removed, a bit of hidden plastic cut back. The antenna is very small and is on the trunk lid. Wiring runs under carpets. The receiver is up under the dash--also quite small.
The thing on the seat is my right leg. I was sitting in the car when I took the photo.
I am the clearly the ugliest thing in this car.

Problems solved for Sirius fans, they will start to offer Sirius as a dealer installed option this summer. I for one can not wait and will be first in line for the install.
