Default Finally installed my '04 Sym II with satellite.

Had picked up a used Sym II from an '04 last fall and had TeddyBGame build me a harness. Finally got around to installing it today. It's nice to get rid of the free standing XM module hanging off the side of the console and now have XM built in. VAG'd to de-bose as I'd done before. Minor issues to work out, but at least it's done.
Pick up the RS6 fender liners tomorrow.

Default OK, so I'm a moron.... forgot to take the CD's out of the old head unit before removing it. Ideas?

Can I get them out or will I need to hook power up to the head unit? Took my 5 year old asking to hear one of her CD's for me to realize I'd been stupid.

Do you have the factory XM unit in the rear quarter tied in to it?

Default Nothing serious....

No sound on XM. Everything else works fine and I get XM signals. The custom harness was built to accomodate an Icelink and I may need one in-line to complete the circuit. Shoud be resolved this am.

I suspect you'll need to hook up power to the CD changer (6-disc) or head unit (1 disc)..

Default almost made similar mistake when upgrading cd nav to rns-e

there's prolly someone w/ an external jack, but may be just easier to pull, plug in and remove cds, or just leave em in the unit, tis only a few $ for the cds, how much ur time worth?

Default I left my Bad Company CD in the unit that was exchanged by the Dealer...

Yesterday I got a large padded envelope from Audi headquarters (in MI). They sent me back the CD I left inside unit they exchanged. You've got to love that kind of dedication. Sound familiar Ted? I thought you were kidding about there being a CD in my head unit.
