2.5 Antenna Wires

With all the other wiring completed, the last step is the SAT antenna. The right antenna must be

purchased for the SAT radio service planned for installation. The OEM Audi antenna will work for

both SAT radio services, but requires a drilled hole in the roof to mount and the purchase of antenna

cables and more connectors. This may be of interest to Avant owners that don’t have the mounting

location of the sedans. This did not interest me, so I bought an antenna and installed it below my rear

parcel shelf, on top of the metal frame that supports it. I bought a slim Terk antenna XM3 and it slides

between the metal

support and the top deck

easily. As long as there is

nothing metal between

the antenna and the

satellites it should work

fine. A two lead antenna

is required to plug into

the SAT tuner. The newer

antennas only have a

single pink lead. This

type of antenna must be

installed with a splitter

that will convert the

single Pink lead to a dual

green and brown lead.

Once the antenna is

installed, run the wires to

the left side trunk panel

where the SAT tuner

module will be installed.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT ANTENNAS

Audi is unique with the colors of their antenna leads. Most aftermarket antennas will have green (XM,

white for Sirius) and “curry yellow” leads. The green (or white) is for terrestrial signals, the curry is

for satellite signals. The connectors on the Audi OEM tuner are green and brown. For Audi, the green

is for satellite signals, the brown is for terrestrial. These are FAKRA SMB type connectors and the

colors correspond to the “key code” of the connector. The “key code” is just some tabs that keep some

connectors from plugging into the wrong slot. Green is key code ‘E’, Curry is key code ‘K’, Brown is

key code “F”, and White is a universal connector that will plug into any color socket.

Satellite: Audi Green XM Curry Sirius Curry

On the antenna leads, swap the green connector to where the curry connector was. Buy a new brown

FAKRA connector and connect to the lead that was previously green. Now the antenna can be

plugged into the SAT tuner. (The same can be done for Sirius, but the white connector will plug into

the green Audi socket.) The good thing about Terk brand antennas is that they use Amphenol brand

connectors, so the new brown connector purchased from www.digikey.com

will fit perfectly.
