Sirius?
 

the back of the Mazda RX-8 factory deck have a way to hookup a sirius unit? portable, stilleto, etc... I would prefer not to have to replace the deck, as the RX-8 radio really goes well with the whole interior fengshua(sp?)/look of the RX-8...

The factory deck (05+) has a plug in for factory Sirius install only.

damn.. thanks.. guess its going to take a deck replacement =\

what decks look decent in the 8s?

I have factory Sirius and would never go without the steering control so I can't help you.
Do a search in the audio section. May take some reading but you will find a handfull of solutions along with saving time and money. Good luck.

thanks!
