Default Does the 09 A3 use the same Sirius module

as the B7 A4? I have an XM module that I'd like to swap out.

Default The newer Sirius modules have a single antenna connection. The older Sirius and XM modules

had dual antenna connections. There was a switchover during the '07 model year to a single-connector antenna from the older dual-connector.

To connect a single-connector antenna to a dual-connector receiver you need a splitter that's readily available.

To connect a dual-connector antenna to a single-connector receiver, you just connect the matching color connector and leave the other one alone.

Default Right - that's what I did with my GTI/R32 swap....

...I used the Terx signal splitter to use my XM box from my '06 GTI in the single antenna R32.

I been told that the newest B8 A4 actually uses a different box and was wondering if the 09 used a different unit as well...

It's possible the the B8 A4 uses the MOST-based receiver.
