Install guide

2.6 Completion

In the 2001 Audi there is not a “factory” place to install the SAT tuner. A good location is the slot

where the CDC goes, attached with a hefty dose of Velcro. A SAT radio mount kit is available, but it

only consists of 4 screws and 4 plastic nuts that have no purpose if the vehicle doesn’t have the

“factory” mounting position. Mount the tuner and plug in the antenna connectors, power connector

T8r, and audio connector T8s. All of these only plug in one way to prevent them from being

incorrectly installed. With all the wires connected, ensure the SAT tuner module is well mounted and

replace the trunk the access panel. The tuner should now show up in the radio “BAND” list if the

RNS-E is coded to enable satellite radio (see section 1.4). The specific tuner type will appear in the

list; in lieu of the term “Satellite Radio” it will list “XM Radio” or “Sirius Radio”. For activation, press

the Setup button while in SAT radio mode and select the menu item to display the radio serial number.
