Default Problem after Sirius install in 2008

After installing a Sirius module (8E0 035 593 H) last night in my 08 A3 I have noticed some odd behavior with the steering wheel controls. The radio works correctly, all stations are accessible through the tuner on the radio, but when I try to move through the channels with the left thumb wheel, it will move from channels 1-16 and then skip to 66 and then 116. It will not tune any channels in between. Has anyone seen this before? Could you verify that yours is working correctly? Thanks.

I bought a Sirius module from someone with an 07 A4, everything seems to work fine.
The left thumb wheel only scrolls though channels within the catagory selected from theMENU button however the righthand radio knowbwill incrementally go though all channels.

I also found when installing my tuner that the factory ran some kind of harnes directly through the tuner bracket so my tuner doesn't sit completly flat.

Push the scroll wheel in to go to the next staion; roll the wheel to go to your next preset.

To those of you who've installed a tuner in an '08, can you verify that there is one satellite antenna lead (versus two)? Thanks!

EDIT: For clarification, I'm referring to the antenna wire coming from the car, not the input on the tuner itself.
