WTT: My Sirius for your XM

Hello everyone. I just got my 2007 GLi a few months ago and it came with Sirius satellite radio. I am an XM subscriber however. After a lot of research and talking to the dealer, it appears that the XM receiver from a VW earlier than 2007 can be simply swapped out. If anyone here is interested in trading or even selling their XM unit, please PM or email me. Thank you in advance. Below is the model number that is visible on the Satellite receiver unit.


I have Sirius



8E0 035 593 D

I need XM

Thanks

Both of you relax... The two services are expected to merge, whereupon they will be fully amalgamated.

Wrong.

After the merger, if it happens, existing receivers will still only receive Sirius or XM content, whatever they received BEFORE the merger.

The only difference is that some channels will be eliminated (for example, instead of a full set of Sirius "Decades" channels and a full set of XM "Decades" channels, there will be only one set (XM's or Sirius', who knows?).

You will not be getting baseball games or Bob Dylan on your Sirius receiver, or football games or Howard Stern on your XM receiver.
