My Christmas present for 2004 was a 2005 S4, my first Audi, what a car!!
I ordered it with satellite radio (XM) unimpressed so far, although I think the antenna may be defective as it keeps losing signal.
What I really want to do is add a trunk mounted hard drive based MP3 player. I intended to add the Phatbox unit, I was unaware until after delivery of the car that, you lose the sat radio if you do. After some of the bad stories I’ve read about the unit, I did some checking on the net and came up with a unit from MPTronix (
www.mptronix.com) that can work with a BlueTooth PDA which means there’s no need for any surgery inside the car or cables.
I want to keep the XM seeing as I paid good cash for it and I’m sure I’ll like it after the antenna’s fixed. Has anyone tried anything like this?
From what I understand you need to unplug the sat feed and replace it with the audio from the MP3 player, does anyone know of an A/B switch that will allow me to select sat or Aux input (MP3). I really don’t want to suffer with an FM modulator as they’re never that good.
Thanks for any input
