Default Sirius satellite radio on 2003 A6

I'm looking for advice on installing Sirius satellite radio on my 2003 A6 3.0. I have the Bose system with 6-disc in-dash changer. Is there an available aux input (like for a trunk mounted changer) that I can use rather than the FM modulator?

Default Yes, there are many options

Blitsafe is one of them.

There is tons of info on how people have connected satalite radio to their cars. Most of it is in the Audio & Electronics forum. Something posted about satallite radio about once a day.

I went with the Blitzsafe adapter which works with the Pionner XM unit and plugs into the cd changer plug bypassing the FM Mod.<ul><li><a href="http://www.blitzsafe.com">http://www.blitzsafe.com</a</li></ul>

Make sure a 2003 A6 has a trunk mounted CD changer plug. It may have been eliminated.

Default There is an aux input on the back of the head unit that can be used.

It used to have a lead going to the trunk for use with a 6-disc changer. The lead wire has been eliminated but the input is still there - a number of people have used it to wire up an iPod or other...
