My 2004 A6 2.7T S-Line has a SAT button on the console but Sirius said it's not capable without a Sirius radio that has a cassete adapter. When I press the SAT button it says " No Sat Radio". I assumed it was capable...Anyone have the same issue????

 

My guess is that the prior owner did not pay for the Sirius radio. The sat button comes in the car regardless of whether or not the satelite option is paid for.

 

I think you have to have it activated for around $100

 

Guys, the Audi Symphony (Bose) stereo does indeed have the SAT button, but that does not mean it shipped from the factory with the Satellite option installed.

You can find the XM or Sirius modules online for as little as a hundred bucks. Here are some part numbers. The install is relatively easy and you can DIY.
