Default XM in an a 2000?

How hard would it be to swap radios in a 2000 A6 with a newer radio to get XM Radio? Since I've decided to keep my car instead of getting a new one, I'd like to at least add a perk or two. Thoughts?

I'd get Sirius. Much better channel formatting.

There are things to plug into the cd changer port that will allow you to hear the xm as if were part of the audi system. I am thinking about it. Do a search in the audio forum for xm radio.

Yes, Sirius is my choice -- I used XM just as a generic description

Now way, everyone knows that XM is better. Just look at the diversity of programing that you may actually listen to
