Hey there. Quick question. My friend got herself a 2005 S4 Avant wagon, and is looking to add Sirius or XM. She has the premium sound system in the car. Is the satellite tuner already built in, or does it need to be purchased? If so, can she get any XM or Sirius tuner, or does it have to be the one from Audi? Thanks.

 

The tuner is built in...was this a new car or used? Normally the first 3-4 months of XM or Sirus is included for new cars.

Have her hit the SAT button on the radio and tune to station 1. That is normally the promo station and will air Sirus or XM promotional stuff and let you know how to sign up.

Normally you tune to another station that will give you the unique indetification code for your car. You call into a helpdesk with that number and they set up an account for you. Normally they can activate it while you are on the phone.

 

Hmmm... When she presses the satellite button, I think the radio says "no satellite" or something to that effect. The car is 'new", but was a dealer demo. It has 4k on it.

 

I'd ask the dealer then...maybe they took the sat radio out...cause in all cases that I have heard of, including mine, Premium Sound included Sat.

 

Thanks for the info.
