Default Radio help on RS 4.0

So on my old 2007 Turbo I added tooki and nav tv waaaaay back when to get Sat radio and bluetooth etc.

My RS4.0 has PCM delete...so all I get is radio and a cd player. I found an aux input in the center console but is there any way to get sat radio? I mean I could stream it from my phone assuming you guys know a good aftermarket solution or maybe just a aux plug adapter for my phone?

What have you guys done?

Thx!

Yes I know...I know...just listen to the exhaust etc...yeah I get it...but I like my music when I drive....this car is freakin' fantastic...just want to listen to some cool tunes while loving it.

the factory solution will put a hole on your roof for the antenna.
id suggest just getting the SiriusXM app on your phone and using the aux plug. Or use Spotify or Apple Music to stream. Since you have the aux, that's the best option. Only downside is if you're int he really back woods and cell signals are weak.

The Sirius app is actually pretty decent. I like several of their curated music stations (much better than Spotify or apples attempts).

OK guys I like that idea...I keep paying for Sirius in my cars and always wonder why I don't wise up and just use the app...lazy i guess lol!

I'll look into an aux adapter...presume it doesn't charge the phone?

This. With Spotify you can download the songs so that's a solution if you are out of signal. Of course this assumes you have premium for $10/month or whatever it costs.
