Question installation of sirius-xm radio in audiA3 2007

Received a sirius radio sportster 5 for my car and would like to get it installed professionally. I was wondering if it would be possible to get this type of radio installed where the original radio is mounted. Is this possible? Or do I have no choice but to get it installed on a mount placed where the ashtray is or in the windshield. The car does have a shark fin antena, and has a SAT button on the radio console.

Just buy a sirus tuner for your car, can be bought cheaply online, and you can hook it up yourself. I dont know how it is in your car, but I installed mine in about 10 minutes with only a butter knife in a parking lot. It is much cleaner as you have no external tuner to find somewhere to put it, and dont have to figure a way to get the sound to your stereo, and dont have to run an antenna. Your car is already wired for it. Reciever goes in a compartment in the trunk, wires are already there, and you have to switch one other connector. On my 05 a4 B6 it was easy, and sound quality is great, and steering wheel controls change stations and presets. Install instructions on on audiworld, or PM me.
