2007 A4 2.0t T Sedan
Symphony II+ Head unit
Sirius Receiver 8E0 035 593 D/8E0 057 593 D

Using the great DIY for Sirius install at audidiy.com i bought and installed the sirius unit. with a slight problem.

First i checked and moved the CAM because the head unit said "NO SAT"

My car had a little slide out shelf in the trunk. I slid it out and the wires were bundled right behind it.....how easy is that. I connected up all the wires but 1
There was on only 1 green sat antenna wire....no brown. I connected the system up with on the green and the stereo says "Antenna" and no audio. Occasionally it will show the weather channel (184) but never a sound.

Then i read somewhere that i may need a splitter.

To be completely sure i tore into the trunk and searched for that brown antenna wire...Nothing!


So i thought i'd ask. Do i just need a splitter? or another sat antenna? Any thoughts?

Thanks

so i did some research and found that i may need a satellite antenna splitter. I had some scrap sirius antennas laying around and just spliced them together.

and what do ya know...it works. I get the sirius menu and the phone number scrolling across the screen on ch 184....but (there always seems to be a but)

i dont have any audio on channel 184 (and i believe i should). Before i activate it i was just checking to see if and why there isn't any audio.




thanks
