i just bought a mazda3 i touring and i am considering installing the mazda sirius module, but i have a question:

i have a sirius starmate replay already and i really like the "artist alert" function and the abilty to pause live radio. Does the mazda module have these any of these functions?

 

Coming from a person who doesn't actually have sirius I'm going to say I don't think that the OEM module has it. Bear in mind though that the '07 model comes with a input in the console which you can run the starmate directly into. Also if you remove the insert from the ashtray compt. then you can sit the starmate directly in the opening and run the wires in through the back. Then if you leave the car you can just tuck everything into the ashtray and close the door to hide it.

Here's a pic with an example of what I'm talking about. It's not the starmate, but it fits just as well.

 

Has anyone ever installed a sirius factoy unit in a 07 3 sedan? how difficult?

thanks
