Default Anyone interested in trading Satellite Radio receivers? I've got a Sirius and looking for XM.

My wife's A3 has a Sirius receiver, but I'd like to get an XM receiver for it, since that is what I have in the S4.

Would anyone be interested in a straight swap or would anyone not interested in using SAT radio at all be interested in selling theirs?

Since Pics = Clicks, here is a picture of the A3.

Default What's the last 6 digits of the VIN (sequence number)?

If it's greater than 105278 then you've got a single-lead antenna which requires a rev "G" receiver or an antenna un-splitter. You'd probably have to get one of these from a dealer.

If it's less than 105278 then you've got a dual-lead antenna and can use either the rev "A" or "E" receiver. Several of these are for sale on e-bay.

Default You can use a rev A or E receiver but you'll need a splitter:

I JUST PICKED ONE UP AT THIS SITE - 99.00 BLOWOUT!!

I guess they are dumping them cheap because Audi is going Sirius next year.

Just installed and works GREAT!

Enjoy.<ul><li><a href="http://www.audipartssuperstore.com/catalog/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=XM&amp;x=0&amp ;y=0">http://www.audipartssuperstore.com/catalog/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=XM&amp;x=0&amp ;y=0</a></li></ul>
