We cant get sirius over here in the uk yet.
We are just about getting DAB digital radio but only in certain parts of the uk that can receive it.

Why are we so behind on technology? I suppose we will have to wait a few years till we catch up with you in america.

I am in the process of ordering a 2007 S6, and the single choice is Sirius - no XM.
