Default Upgrade to Sirius Navigation System

Just bought the A5 with navigation and signed up for Sirius. I would really like to use the new Sirius Traffic and Weather data service but I don't think the factory installed navigation system supports the option. Is there a way to upgrade the navigation system either through a software or hardware update?

Currently I keep switching between my iPhone and the navigation system to find out traffic reports. It would be awesome to have them mashed up through the Sirius data service.

Thanks for any info!

"The Audi Navigation System depends upon signals from the worldwide Global Positioning Satellite network. The vehicle's electrical system, and existing wireless and satellite technologies, must be available and operating properly for the system to function. The system is designed to provide you with suggested routes in locating addresses, destinations and other points of interest. Changes in street names, construction zones, traffic flow, points of interest or other road system changes are beyond the control of Audi of America, Inc. or Audi Canada."

your navigation is just a DVD... there is nothing "real" time about it
