I did it but it doesn't pick any satellite. You can see the map you can play with it, but no current location, no satellite. I test different antenna and no luck. Its crazy.

You can only use the optical and electrical connector at the SAT radio location but you can not use the SAT antenna(s) there. You need to get an navigation antenna cable and antenna (if your vehicle does not come with an navigation antenna installed). An A6 vehicle with installed navigation antenna should have an connector behind the C-pillar. If your car has it, you only need a short cable from NAV unit to that connector.

Thank you so much for your response so I did use the optical and power of the sat radio and I did found the fakra connector at the C Pillar and connected the extension cable but isn't working so I will guess is a faulty navigation unit. What you think?
