Default XM or Sirius receiver - can't find it anywhere

I am trying to buy the XM receiver for my RS4 but can't find it at any dealer. They all say the part is back ordered... same for Sirius.

Does anybody know where I can get one?

Thx!

Default Try clairparts...

But I think the XM's are on the way out since Audi signed an exclusive Sirius deal.

So it may be hard to get the XM module. I would probably try and find someone with XM to swap modules with you.

Default I tried clairparts - nothing in stock... and its all backorder

I prefer XM but I don't mind Sirius... any receiver that I can find I will buy...

any other ideas?

Default I don't use my XM receiver that came with my '05 A4...

be interested in buying? (if I can get it out of the trunk mount location)

was part of the Bose option but I hooked up my iPod so the receiver is of no use to me.

Default you may want to try looking for the VW part

it is the same and definitely works in models w/o the premium package... if you have nav you should just check the p/n to make sure. the standard b6s4 part will not work as far as I know (I believe those parts ended in -A and -B and you need at least -D or -E).

Default I have a Sirius receiver I'd love to swap for XM too!

I could swap out the xm in my 2004 A8L but I'm told that won't work.
