Hello everyone! My girl just got a brand new 08 cx-7 a couple weeks ago. I bought her a new sirius tuner from best buy but the sound quality just sucks (fm transmission) compared to what it should sound like with the factory tuner (aux). I am going to get her a factory tuner and wanted to know if anyone could help me out with the install. I own a g35 and installed the factory tuner myself. It was pre-wired for the sirius tuner so all i had to do was plug it in and run the antenna wire. Here is a tuner i found on ebay:

Will this work on the cx-7?
I did a little searching on here and noticed i need the install kit which connects to the back of the radio to the tuner...anything else i should know? much appreicated (flame2)
 
Yeah, I'm in the process of yanking mine out along with the rest of the "Blose" system. Install/Removal requires removing the rear right panel. The tuner is double sided taped to the floor in the corner. the antenna is routed from the roof under the back door rubber gasket and through the opening for the right tail light. a notch is filed into the metal there and foam taped to reseal. The control cable follows the wire loom to the front and up and over the glove box, to the back of the radio.
 
I'm not shure if you can get the wire that connects the radio to the tuner without buying the whole kit... I got mine for a little under 300 on ebay ... I think I just was lucky... I put mine under my back seat double sided taped it to the floor and never had to remove the back panel like they suggest I just ran it under the weather strip of the hatch like I did on my old Civic hatch no problems. just have to have a fish wire to get is through the shock tower to under the seat.

wow 360 for the kit on ebay.... thats rediculous might as well drive to the dealer and pay 380 save on time and shipping
I just rechecked my paypal acct to see what I paid. I paid 275 with the xtra kit so hold off for a better deal if you can't get the wire separately

the install kit isn't tha wire that connects the 2 the install kit is a waste of money its 4 wire tires and a few clips. I got mine included for free with mine so I'm just warning you go get some 3m tape and some zip ties yourself.
the big wire comes with the sirius tuner maybe ask the guy selling if he has the wire in his car cause without it the tuner is useless I think.
