I just bought a used '03 Coupe, and it doesn't have the Satelite radio installed, but it does have the wiring for it to be installed. However, the dealer wants $795 to put this in. Other than using a stupid aftermarket unit with a suction cup, is there another option that would be less expensive? I was really hoping to get this done for under $500. I'd prefer to put the money into the performance, like the cold air intake and the Stillen exhaust (just ordered both). Thinking about spraying it next. Addicted already.

I have a 2006 G35 6sp manual with the factory Sirius Radio. The dealer charged $500 for it. I'm not exactly thrilled with it because it does not scroll like my $99.00 Sportster does. I didn't want the wires etc on a new car so I went for the Factory radio. If I were you, I'd give the new Stilletto a try with the car kit and use the savings for beer.

The stilleto looks pretty sweet, but I really want to maintain steering wheel controls. Thanks for the links, that's a much better price than the dealer. I'll let you know how it works out.

BTW - cancelled my order on the K&N CAI after reading all the forums on them. Going with a Z-tube and plenum spacer instead. Glad you guys are here to educate me on this car.
