Sirius and BT at the same time. Possible ?
Hi,
I have a 06 model with the Bose system. A few years ago I added an OEM Sirius receiver that work perfectly. It is the original Mazda satellite radio receiver that installs in the trunk.
Now I would like to add the Bluetooth functionality but from what I read it takes the same port as the satellite radio on the head unit.
Is there a BT kit out there that will not interfere with the satellite or can work with it at the same time ?
Note: I know that I could add an auxiliary input using the MD/Tape button but this way I will not be able to control the BT connected phone using the steering wheel buttons and I will not have the track name displays on the head unit either. So this solution is a no go for me.
Any advice is welcome.

This post is almost a year old and no response yet ?
Assuming you went ahead with this topolittle, what did you find out ?
I always wondered about the satelite kit. My 06 has it and it sure doesnt look oem to me. An available option after assembly - ill go with that !
I want to install a bluetooth kit, probably from GTA, but if the sat kit uses that port on the back of the radio, thats a deal breaker !
Can someone with the SAT kit that has been behind the radio, please chime in here !
