Ok, so I've browsed all the satellite radio threads I could find and I'm still just as confused as I was before.

I've got a week old 2008 CTT that came with XM and its killin' me because I've hmm-ed and haw-ed on getting a CTT since 2003............all the while you could get either Sirius or XM. Well, of course, now you can only get XM and we're an all Sirius family.

What I want is Sirius. Can I just swap out the Porsche factory XM brain with a factory Sirius brain? I know that with a store bought XM or Sirius receiver, the antenna connectors are different, is it the same way with a Porsche factory install so the antennas would have to be swapped as well? I know that XM wise, the part numbers differ from Gen 1 to Gen 2 Cayennes is that going to cause me problems using a Gen 1 Cayenne Sirius brain?

I know the satellite radio topic has been discussed ad nauseum in different permutations on this site, but I cannot make heads or tails if what I want to do is possible.

Many thanks to anyone who can shed light on this for me. I know that there are cheaper ways, but I like things to be a close to "stock" as possible.

The dealer can swap for $

Aren't they going to merge in the near future anyway?

But will they.........First, none of the dealers within 300 miles sold me the car. Second, the Sirius part is for Cayenne's up to 2006. I just don't want to deal with the old..."thats not for your car, we can't put it in."

Is there any place other than the nearest parts counter that I can buy the Factory Sirius kit? Or has anyone dealt with a dealer that has refused to make a swap like this?

As to the merger, was it ever approved? Besides, even if it was approved it will take a while for there to be any cross or combined programming.
