Hello! I just bought a 2005 Audi A4 1.8Tand I LOVE IT !!

I just have a couple of questions.

1) I was told the car is "satellite ready". It has a little black satellite antenna on the roof,
but when I click the 'SAT' button on the stereo,it tells me"No Sat".A friendsaidI might need
to purchase a satellitetuner. Is that true?

2) I would really LOVE to have a navigation system installed in this car. I am constantly
getting lost. [8D] It would be awesome if it had an ipod jack/connector too.
Can you tell me which one is best?

Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

take your car in to the dealer and talk to one of the service advisors. they will help you with all that stuff more so than most here.

 

Not to avoid your questions right off the bat.... But, please dont tell me you are a 20 year old chickdriving a $30,000 car!
2005 didnt offer a 1.8t engine, its either 2.0T or 3.2V6.
Your stereo has the sat. reciever, you just need to subscribe to the service.
Get aoemNAV unit off ebay if youre lucky or from the dealer
Dont know about the ipod thing, but dont newer cars cd players read MP3 format CD's?? You can put like 500 mp3's on a cd.

 

actually 05's still came with 1.8T engines.

 

some nav units have dvd players.. and that's over 1500 mp3s + plus nice menu on dvd disk

 

that that really matter

but anyways u can get the stock audi nav called RNS-E but its pricey though they go up to 1400.00
i would say go with an aftermaket one im not sure which one though

and if u go sat radio i say XM sucks, its wat i have

 

Doesnt matter, but if its true, I either want in the family or need to setup an interview wherever she/he is working

I forgot 05 was a split yr for b6/b7.

 

2005.5+ is the B7 so she might have a B7 casue some people still call their 2005.5 a 2005 so who knows

 

Nikki,

For your iPod, this is what you want:

As far as having a GPS, my suggestion would be to buy an aftermarket one that you can mount to your dash, like a Garmin or Magellan. Both companies make really nice portable GPS units, and you can move them from car to car. For the satellite radio to work, you have to have a subscription in order to receive sat brodcasts. All the hardware that you need for satellite is already built in.

 

with a aftermarket DVD player nav you get the outlets for the Ipod
