Any non Audi solutions for Sirius hookup?
Aside from the dealer Sirius tuner, is there an aftermarket one we can use for Sirius that is plug and play and non RF Modulated?
thanks

Re: Any non Audi solutions for Sirius hookup?
Other than using a tuner like starmate or sportster and a cassette adapter or blitzsafe/usaspec adapter, not that I am aware of ...
Using a sportster/starmate and adapter has one benefit over the OEM tuner; through the Symphony II, the OEM tuner does not scroll song titles (annoying as all hell ...). But then again, you have to mount a sportster/starmate in the cockpit somewhere, unlike the OEM.
I use the OEM tuner and suffer ... :-(

Re: Uh no, what's your problem with the factory one?
aside from it being overpriced for what it is, nothing. Tuners for aftermarket headunits are around $100 (for, say, the Kenwood one that plugs into the Sirius ready Kenwood headunits).
Scrolling songtitles...hmm, that could be annoying...but alot cleaner of an install

scrolling song titles?
This is with the OEM Sirus and/or XM box? I'm contemplating installing one or the other...
I still think the stealth install of the factory unit will outweigh any kind of annoyance... several friends have the starmate and it has got to be THE ugliest thing EVER.... would not look good in the very clean cabin of the audi.
