you don't need much help-just go to a competent installer and get one for yourself. i have one in my 03 tt and it is great.

I was wondering how they install or mount it? Do you have a pic doc?

i put one my my jetta
i love this thing
we have the "here to anywhere" from kenwood (Siri)
only downside is bulk
but there is room in the car
it is great to take from car to home
xmsr also makes a nice system
you can't go wrong with either system

but i do like the option of car to home (hence FM modulator)
since your car is a 02 it should be very easy
no MOST sytem to deal with (03 and beyond)

docj how did you set it up in your 03?

i have no pic, but i will tell you how they do it. if you have a car that doesn't have the most fiberoptic system, you have 2 options. you can take out your head unit and replace it with an xm ready head unit. then they have to install an xm receiver under your seat (or some other hidden place) along with an antenna, and you are in business. then you can controll your xm chanel thru the xm ready head unit. second option is to keep your head unit, and install an xm tuner, a small plastic piece, about 1 and 1/4" x 3 and 1/2" x 1/2", usually placed below the head unit in the storage space. then you must also install the xm receiver and the antenna. if you have the most system, the 2nd option is your only choice, as you can't install the xm ready head unit. with this option, you control your xm channel thru the xm tuner, which works thru your fm part of your head unit. i hope this explains it to you.

since i have the friggen most system, i had to install the xm tuner, and keep the head unit. i was hoping to use the xm ready alpine receiver from my 01 c4, but no luck.
