Default Paging Canadian RS4 owners: Re SAT Radio

Did any of you get a SAT radio receiver with your car? My car was built in July with the Premium Package which should have included a satellite radio receiver according to audicanada.ca. Audi Customer Care says that Audi Canada hasn't begun installing SAT radio receivers in any Canadian cars due to lack of approval from the CRTC.

Hopefully I'm not the only one hanging around here.

Default Good question

It's in the owner's manual, but then again it's a combined US/Cdn owner's manual.

I'll check it out later.

BTW, with SD cards, I'm not sure of the value of Sat Radio, short of Howard Stern...

Default The one Canadian car I have on the list did NOT come with a satellite receiver.

It is car 900111. If anyone else with a Canadian RS4 is interested in adding it to the list, please email me. So far, we have minimal participation from our friends up North.<ul><li><a href="http://webpages.charter.net/parkhill/RS4/RS4_VIN_List.htm">RS4 Registry</a></li></ul>

Default Sat radio is not included, in fact ...

the sat unit for cars with nav plus hasn't been approved for Canada yet. It does have a different part number than cars without nav. The unit will be about $650 when it becomes available.
