Default Everyone w/o bose with XM radio...

Do you regret it, wishing you just got the Bose system. I'm guessing it stills has a CD player?

Just wondering... should pick up the car tomorrow from the dealer

Default My a4 has bose with no XM

I didnt care until i heard XM in my dad's s4. It's hard to go back to regular radio after listening to XM. so my suggestion: never listen to XM and you will feel fine.

Default I have no bose and no satellite radio and I probably have

more regrets about the Bose than the satellite radio.

I was one of a few that thought that I could avoid getting a shark fin by not getting the infotainment package when initial S4 orders were placed.

Of course later we found out that all S4's would have the shark fin which made me immediately regret not getting the Bose.

Overall, I have not been too dissappointed in the stock sound system, but I have heard that the Bose is so much better in the B6 than it was in the B5 and I loved my Bose in my B5 S4.

It's pretty tough to be dissappointed in an S4 no matter what options you have . .

Default i still like having complete control over what i listen to. . .

file sharing sites and illegal mp3 downloads for burning my own cd's is still my method of choice.

I still think it is the best way if you listen to alot of punk / independent music.

Default My only issue with the Bose and XM:

I can't use the Blitz cable to hook my damn iPod into the car. I've seen a few really slick installations (in the ashtray, for instance).

Supposedly, they're working on a solution for those of us with XM, but JDBlue is still waiting to hear from them...
