by the way, nice car. Love the color. Wish we have that in the state. I think they have it in the 2009 model.

My didn't come with it either. Was it a plug and play for the RNS-E?

Once you have it installed it's just a matter of receiving the activation signal. I went online to set up my account (be sure to enter the promo code "Audi" to get the 3 free months), and at the end you can schedule when to have them send the signal. Unfortunately that didn't work for me or I missed it, so I ended up going out to the car and calling their 800 number. Once you've entered your account info there's a menu option to resend the activation signal which should get you up and running in a minute or two.

As long as you're willing to pay for it, any color is available in the States. For '09 they've added Meteor Gray as a standard color, but IMO Daytona Gray is much nicer so I don't really regret the choice.

I did a quick look saw the antenna and power wires. I'm sure the other one is there as well.

I think early 08's came with L's and would assume that later 08's and probably the new 09's come with N's. Yes, everything is pre-wired so it's just a matter of finding them all. There are three wires down in there, the antenna and two others. One of them has a plastic connector on the end with a loop of wire that needs to be removed before it will attach to the Sirius box.

Ok, found a "N" on ebay brought it. Hope it all works out.

Got it installed last night. Everything worked. Hardest part was snapping in the box to the foam.
Thanks again for everyone's input.

I just bought my 2008 TT Quattro and would like to install the satellite receiver in the back. Would you care to describe (in detail) how to get this done? I'm a complete newb to any of this and would rather not have to pay $$$ at the dealership for them to install for me. Pictures would help along with instructions. Any help/guidance would be much appreciated. Cheers.

I installed rns-e and tried using symphony’s satellite module that’s located in trunk. I believe the letter ended in M. Everything Works except the satellite radio. Am fm works the xm doesn’t. So I purchased online a used 8E0 035 593 H module. Hope that works. Anyone else had this problem?

I think that one should be compatible, but also keep in mind that the RNS-E needs to be coded to recognize the tuner:

I have the vcds but how do I code the xm unit to work with the rns-e? Any one did this step by step?
