Greetings. I recently purchased a 2005 audi tt coupe with the bose factory system. The stereo has a sat. radio button and the car has a built in sat. radio antennae but my dealer is saying to add what I need to get sat. radio is going to run around $600. That just seems crazy. I have had xm pretty much since its inception (have 4 players) but I have not spent that much in total on my players. I do not want to go with any of the portable options as I want to keep a clean look in the interior of this car. Also, my understanding is that it is only set up for sirrius. I have looked on crutchfield and they did not give me any integrated sat. radio options for this car model.

I would aprpeciate any guidance on these issues, specifically:

What do I need to make this car sat. ready?
What should it cost?
Is xm an option?
Will a stereo shop be ok or must I go through the dealer?[/align]

Thank you very much for your time and assistance. I am loving this TT, such a sweet , sweet ride.[/align]

 

Anyone have any ideas? I would greatly appreciate any assistance that you can provide. I just want to make an informed choice. SUre I can go with the dealer or I am certain I could go to a stereo store and have them install...I just do not want to harm anything on this wonderful vehicle.

Hope you all have a great weekend in your TT

 

sorry, dont' think anyone here even uses the stock sat. system, no one i've heard of anyway.

I've hardwired a sirius unit into the car, but thats nothing like what you want.

 

I dont see why not xm... did you see and specific reasons as to why it wouldnt work on the car?? And if you look around you can still have the serrius unit or whatever sitting in your car and still look clean.. Look for like a gadget TT and it will surely give you some ideas.

Anyone else?? thoughts on the xm not working in a TT??

I was an iPod anyway and soon im going to get a kenwood kvt-715 flipout and see if i can intergrate my ipod.... but that will finish off my system
