So, to summarize this, we have the following XM receivers:
8E0 035 593A: 2004 XM receiver for A4 B6 Symphony II/Concert II
8E0 057 593A: 2005.5 XM receiver for the All New 05 A4 B7, Symphony II/Concert II
8E0 057 593E: 2005.5 XM receiver for the All New 05 A4 B7, RNS-E 8E0 035 192E
If this is correct then everybody who wants to upgrade to the RNS-E needs a new XM/Sirius receiver.
Hey, Proxus, when you get a "C" RNS-E, could you confirm that it doesn't see the new XM receiver? Or we can try this with my "C". I'm not going to upgrade XM because I have ordered an Ice>Link Plus for my iPod Mini. But I would still like to know if the new XM receiver doesn't work either with the "C" unit.

Well AudiA4B6US if your synopsis is correct, it seems ne1 wanting to add a SAT reciever now but is planning a retro fit of the RNS-E later would be wise to wait and either buy both at the same time or get the RNS-E first then add the SAT unit later.
Is there even a Bently manual available for the MY05.5 yet?

Better sound from new XM receiver?
PROXUS,
I read that the old XM tuners (8E0 035 593A) when hooked up to the US RNS-E - you get sound but can't change stations? When you installed the new XM tuner (8E0 057 593E) with the US RNS-E it works great but does not work with the old Symphany II unit?
With the new XM tuner and US RNS-E working correctly do you get better sound??? Currently the XM tuner with the Symphany II sounds like crap! - muddy, lower volume, no clear highs, muddy mid and bass.
Thanks,
Paul

There is a TSB 91-05-01 which says the following:
So, the new sat recievers work with all HUs, the old ones do not work if TPMS or RNS-E is installed.

I don't know of anybody who has tried the new sat receiver with an EU unit. I plan to get a new XM receiver within the next couple of weeks and will certainly try this.
I just got my new XM tuner (part# 8E0 057 593E) to work with the US RNS-E. It was $450 from Clair but I have XM again! It sounds much, much better than the old XM in the Symphony II headunit!
I had the part# 8E0 035 593A (old part) connected to the RNS-E but only heard one channel and could not change it as noted by others in this forum.
I have not tried either XM tuners in the Euro RNS. If there's anyone in Minnesota with the Euro RNS and want to test it let me know.

Congrats! Installation was pretty easy. The XM module is behind the plastic storage area in the driver's side trunk. Here are the steps since I just did it 30 minutes ago it's fresh in my memory:
1. Take out the spare tire cover in the trunk
2. Take out the spare tire
3. Remove the 2x10mm nuts holding the plastic cover over the trunk latch. (you'll see these nuts after removing the spare).
4. Pull upwards on the plastic cover over the trunk latch and remove this cover. There are 4 clips that hold it down. Also there is a wire connecting the light on this plastic panel. Unplug this to free up the plastic panel.
5. Remove the 2 chrome latches that anchor the cargo net on the driver side. Each of the chrome latch has 2 hex screws that keeps it down. Unscrew these screws and the latch comes off.
6. Pull the carpet panel outwards from the car (there are 3 clips around the rear bend).
7. There's a plastic clip that top part of this carpet panel. Pull down on the clip and then pull it out (it's a 2 piece clip). Now you will have access to that plastic storage box.
8. Unscrew 4x10mm nuts holding the box down.
9. Pull the storage box out and unplug the connectors behind the XM unit (4 connectors).
10. Push down on the 2 plastic clips that keep the XM unit in place and then slide it out.
11. Slide the new one in and plug everything back in and installation is reverse of the steps above.
Good luck!

Is this the correct part?
I see the following on ClairParts:
http://www.clairparts.com/accessories4.asp?product_id=2318&PDID=195149
with drop-down option XM 593-A. It lists for $295. It says "W/O NAVIGATION OR TPMS", but the part number 8E0-057-593 (XM 593-A) sure looks like what you guys are talking about. If this is it, I'm going to order it and try to get it installed this weekend!
