Default Satelite Radio??? When??

I have a 2006 3.2 TT. It is claimed to be satelite ready but Audi has no information on when they will have units available. Does anyone have any info?


Also I seem to keep hearing they do not have any ipod adaptors instock for the TT deck. Any info out there??

It's already available - at your local dealer. I can't remember which one Audi went with, XM or Sirius as they only offer one now instead of both.

Audi is going with Sirius, but I don't think the actual unit is available for the TT yet. I asked in Feb and the said spring?

Does anyone have a concrete date? Costs?

Just inquired about installing the Serius Satelite "Module" in my A6 (allows me to control it through the MMI) and was told it is about $750 plus instalation, does anyone know if this is any cheaper through Audi dealers in the U.S.? Is there any other alternatives other than this module? Thanks.

I ordered the Sirius satellite receiver for my satellite ready '08 3.2 TT in late March and received it a few days later. It was $600 installed. Maybe I got lucky and they had stock when I ordered mine. I've seen guys getting them much cheaper on eBay.

The iPod adapter sucks. It mimics the CD changer so you can only have one or the other (if that's an issue.) Because of this set up it only plays the first 5 play lists on your iPod (discs 1-5 on the changer control) or the entire iPod (disc 6 on the changer control.) It's a waste of time and money. I don't know why I bought it a second time in my second TT, but I should have known better.

I just received the Dension Gateway 100 which will plug directly into the factory unit. It plays all play lists and displays song info on your head unit and DIS. I'll post the information when it gets installed later this week.

I'd definitely like to know more about this after you get it. I was quite upset when i found out after the fact that it didn't display any info and only did 5 play lists.
