Need RNS Geek team members asap.
I have a customer that is installing RNS nav into his car and wants to also install Sat radio. He has everything, except for the antenna and the wiring harness that runs from the radio to the sat unit and from the sat unit to the antenna. Anyone know part numbers my parts guys are not up to the task.

He needs three non-OEM parts
The wiring harness specific to his car (A3/A4 or A6 C5, Bose/Non-Bose, with/without CD changer/SAT radio, with/without OnStar/phone prep), the GPS antenna (or an extension cord for the shark fin) and the antenna adapter (from 50 Ohm ISO to dual Fakra). And none of the parts are available from Audi. But as DavidRS4 said, Euro-parts.us has them or can get them.
If he already has SAT radio and if his SAT radio receiver is pre MY 2005 it is likely the first generation (8E0 035 593/8E0 057 593 for Sirius or 8E0 035 593A/8E0 057 593A for XM), these will not work with the RNS-E. He will need to get the second generation SAT receiver (8E0 035 593D/8E0 057 593D for Sirius or 8E0 035 593E/8E0 057 593E for XM) if he wants to keep SAT radio with the RNS-E.
If his car is not pre-wired for SAT radio then you will need to build a custom harness, nobody sells a retrofit harness for SAT radio yet. If the car is pre-wired for SAT radio (shark fin on roof) then the wires between the head unit and SAT radio are already in place and all he needs is the SAT radio receiver.
