Hey,

I have a weird prob. In my 04 S4, I have an rsne unit. When I go to band, xm shows up, I click it and for one second I can see channels and then it says initializing. While this is going on it's playing the xm preview channel. I then go to setup to see if I can find a radio id but nothing shows up.

I went to Audi and the service advisor believes that I must have a receiver somewhere. We checked the usual spots in the trunk and nothing. I then went to an auto sound store and they were also perplexed. Any ideas? I need my Howard Stern!!! Thanks in advance.

Can you pull the RNS-E unit out and see if the sat receiver is at least plugged into the rear of the RNS-E. At least that way you will know if you have one, all you need do then is find where it is. Possibly behind the glovebox or something?

Hey, thanks for the reply. My question is before I go any further is, if I'm hearing the xm preview channel, the there must be a reciever somewhere right? Thanks

That is what I would think, but at least if you pull the RNS-E out and verify everything is hooked up correctly you might be able to then trace which direction the wires head off to the sat receiver.
