Paging MrVegas - picture of stock XM antenna on Roadster (long) > >
Stopped by the dealer today to bring this investigation to a close. Here is how it works when you want the factory XM satellite radio option installed and activated on your new Roadster. Bob (MrVegas) <a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/1412653.phtml" target="_blank">has been wanting to know how this works</a> . . .
When you purchase the car with this $400 option,

you should find this in your glove compartment:

After the sale and during prep, the technician is supposed to install the antenna according to these instructions (<a href="http://www.martybird.com/roadster-antenna.pdf" target="_blank">download pdf of these instructions here</a>):

The antenna "hockey puck" is actually attached to the trunk lid as shown here:

And plugged in to the factory wiring here:

With the final install looking like this:

Not the best in my opinion, but that's how it's supposed to be done according to Audi.
