Transfering XM radio from 2004 A6 to 2007 A4 possible?
I thought I had read there were some changes and this would not work. Anyone know?
It seems stupid that Audi is forcing you to buy Serius. anyone know why they are doing this? I keep hearing about a merger. Someone, somewhere won't buy an Audi because they can't get XM.Why would you, as a manufacturer, want to throw this possible road block into the salemans lap as an objection?

Most car brands are exclusively one or the other & doesn't offer both anyways.
Audi was one of the few that offer both. I guess Sirius offered them something to go exclusive. It's pure business, nothing technical.
As for a merger, it's not gonna happen. FCC has already said so.

Audi was the only brand that I was aware of that had both as an option.
Everyone else was one or the other. I guess they were just following the others or it made some sort of financial sense, such as saving on having to prewire a car for both systems when they build it.
Maybe the XM antenna wiring cost them $5 per car (just a wild guess), but if you're building 100,000 cars, that can add up.
