Default Installed Satellite Radio but not working

All,
I just installed a Satelite Radio in my Audi A6 but it's still not showing as installed in the MMI. Do i need to do anything else to enable to the Radio in the MMI?

Since you added a physical module for your satellite radio, I'm almost 100% certain you'll need to add the module in the MMI via a VCDS. Thereby telling your vehicle that you have it available for use.

BTW, what part # did you install? Was it XM or Sirius and did you hook it to the sharkfin?

I just forund out the part they sold me was incorrect. It's part number 8E0 035 593N and it's for the other model A4

I was told I needed part number 4E0 035 593F


I have the fiber optic cables and this raidiothey sold me did not have a connection for it.

I went to the junk yard a purchase the radio with part number 4E0 035 593 M and it's working fine now.

the only problem I have is when tuning to a new station I see an antenna error but it goes away. I believe this is due to my car only having one antenna cable but the radio has two for connection for antenna, one green, the other brown.
