Sorry for the lame pun......couldn't resist.
I currently am a subscriber of Sirius and would like to have the option installed on my new MS3, but the cost includes a 6 month membership (which I don't need)......I haven't discussed with my dealer yet, but will I be able to negotiate on this? Can they just install the antenna, etc.?
Thanks.

Yes you can! I just installed the factory sirius radio equipment into my MS3. I have also have done it for a friend who has a 2005 3 seden and I am doing one tomorrow for my g/f with a 2007 3 Sedan. I brougth the stuff from mazdastuff.com and it comes with very detailed instructions on how to do it.

the 6 month subscription is a freebie I believe, I doubt they will subtract the price of a normal 6 month subscription from the price of the unit.
unless you have a lifetime account, I dont see why you would be bothered by the 6 month subscription

yeah you might be able to get sirius to credit your account 6 months or something but the deal is with mazda corp and sirius us dealers have nothing to do with it so we can't credit for not getting it.

How many channels are in those free 6 months?

i think its the same as if you were paying for the $12 a month deal.

just remember that if you want to continue using the sirius and be able to still use the 3.5mm jack for an ipod, that you need the Y-connector to run both.

The part number for the Y-Connector box (to use the ACI and Sirius) when installing the factory Sirius; Switchbox part #TD1379CFZ.

A switchbox for +$100 has got be the biggest ripoff in history. I paid 3 bucks for my 3.5 mm stereo y-adapter. :-(
