Read yesterday that new model Audi's will have an iPod link which shows the track/artist/album displayed in the head unit.

Audi is the more prestigious marque within the VAG group (Bugatti/Lamborghini/Audi/VW/Seat/Skoda) and no doubt, as the poorer relations, we will hopefully see this technology at some time in the future.

Has anyone had an Ipod connection (glovebox) retrofitted and if so how much did it cost?  Wish I'd speced this from new......

I had the iPod adapter installed by the dealer back in May (before factory fitting was an option) and paid about £100 for the device (there are a couple on sale on eBay for £90 (£85 + £5 P&P)).  It says it should only take about 1/2 hour to fit, so it depends on the hourly rate.

think mine was £150 at the dealer. Its fine but not exactly handy. You can basically play your first five playlists and then all the tracks on your ipod but the HU gives you no information. I used to have an Alpine system in my last car which was just like navigating the ipod. So much better and no doubt what the audi has!

 Hello, I bought a cable and fitted it myself using Docs instructions for fitting a phone kit. The cable was a Dension Ice Link which I bought off Ebay for £90. It was straight forward to do and took me about an hour. You can thread the cable to your glove box or I read where someone had managed to reach the armrest but I used the cubby by the drivers right knee.
Hope this helps

Thanks for the further info guys.  Definitely need to get an ipod connection sorted out as so much of my music is now in mp3 format only.

Speaking of mp3s, bad news about the excellent Russian download site allofmp3.com being screwed by Visa and Mastercard blacklisting them (after Visa and Mastercard were threatened with legal action in the US by the record companies). :cry:  Difficult to get money into your account now, although I believe that there may still be some indirect ways of doing it that I'll need to check out further. :wink:

In fact, just heard from a workmate that allofmp3 has 'suspended services' for the time being!:sick:
