Let me see your satelite radio installs

N8sA4 · 10-10-2006, 06:32 PM

I am going crazy after 2 weeks of owning my 96 A4 because I don't have my XM satelite radio. I want to avoid putting in a new head unit (because that will lead to new speakers and amps and subs for me-and as a new father I have other priorities). Does anyone have any pics or advice on installing a satelite radio controller that looks good but still has functionality. I'd appreciate any ideas.

I forget that most people on this forum are in the UK. Satelite radio is either by XM or Sirius. They send over 200 channels of commercial free music, talk, sports, news, and weather via satelite that. It is great. No commercials or annoying disc jockeys. The unit in you car is small and displays the channel information (song title and artist). I'm working on a solution now so when I get it done I'll post pictures.

Yeah the best we got is DAB, I contacted SIRIUS(sat radio) by e-mail asking if they had anything planned for the uk but they said as they were a north american company they had no further expansion plans for the foreseeable future.
I guess we will always be years behind on the technology front.

Thats a pretty nice OEM looking install.

I got my self a S50 Sirius radio for christmas so i can listen to the footie and some english channels.

Like most here i want an OEM looking install, clean and know crappy wires all over the place.

I found a nice bracket on eBay for my B6. So once i get it installed properly i'll take some pics.

yeah thats looks a good install..

Sounds like its the same as the DAB which are coming fitted in new cars these days... (Digital Radio)
