WTF? No more Sirius Satellite Radio?

I'm trying to buy a car and asked them to install the Sirius module from the truck. Salesguy checked with parts and they say only XM is available now.

Can anyone confirm or deny?

That seems to be the consensus. I ordered my Sat unit from Stephen @ Imagine Auto and he said only XM was available. I would love to have Sirius but have not found a way yet. XM is OK but there are a few channels on Sirius that I love (Area 33!)

Hmmm.... I thought they were still waiting for approval for the merger?

I'm working on a deal to buy this car, but the sellor has an unrealistic opinion of its value!

Roslyn Porsche has a GT silver 997TT as well, not sure what they want for it though. 516 625 5544 ask for Jack.

XM 80, 81 & 82 are way better than Sirius 33, 34 & 36!

I have both!

So is XM available through the dealership? My TT will be here in a few weeks and I want to have it installed. thanks!

I ordered a Cayenne Turbo last week and requested Sirius (First Wave 22 lover) but my dealer told me XM is only available.

They show the numbers but if ordered it will magically come up NLA. The last 8 sets I have ordered have said in Al and never made it. I also talked with my pal at the dealer and he confirmed the magical zeros on my Sirus orders.
