Interested in finding a Satellite radio (Sirius) tuner that works with the stock head unit (which has the control for SAT already available). Does anyone know who makes the stock head unit for the 2005 Mazda Tribute? Also, can anyone point me to a "How-To" that shows removal of the stock head unit?

Mazda makes an accessory kit for adding Sirius Sat that will plug right into the back of the unit. Do not know of any aftermarket that will. The headunit is made by Sanyo Audio. To remove the head unit you will need to have two set or a total of four Ford style radio removal tools. See pic below. They should be available from most parts stores.
