Default A3 iPod/Satellite integration Question

Will these work in an 06 A3 with factory Audi Concert radio without navigation? Thank you for any advice.

iPod Integration

Satellite Module

Here's a pic of my radio.

New to the whole Audi world myself, but after having done some research I found these. Check out the site OEM / Performance Parts for Audi, BMW, Mercedes Benz, Mini, Porsche & Volkswagen - ECS Tuning

Haven't purchased it yet but in talking with a customer service rep with the ECS company they said that it should work.

The satellite module worked great. There are some wires that run along the passenger side kick panel that need to be connected in order for the satellite wiring to be active. But I did not try the iPod integration unit as I don't think the dice system is compatible with iPhone. And I just don't see any point in carrying around an iPod and an iPhone. So, if anyone has any suggestions for Bluetooth or iPhone integration into an 06 A3 I would appreciate the advice. Thank you.

Whr did you install the SAT device? I have the exact same setup except an 07. Called the dealer today and he said some part that i needed was like $650 is that the same part you purchased for $55ish? Thanks for the help in advance. I have the older 2007 Dice installed. Came with the car and installed by Audi. It works with the iPhone except for charging, but all you have to do is buy this little adapter for like $20and plug into the end of the cord... The iPod connector thing and then plug it into your phone and it works for both charging and playing. I guess the reason it doesn't work otherwise is because apple changed thr stuff from 12v to 5v thus the charging issue.

The satellite module is plug and play. There is a home for it in the driver's side wall of your trunk/hatch. But, like I said before, there are some wires (CAN bus) that run along the passenger side kick panel that need to be connected (very simple but frustrating if you don't know about it.) Do not pay the stealership $500 bucks for the module, they are all over the internet for $50 (check eBay and other automotive sites). Good luck. Let me know if you have any more questions. And thanks for the info on the DICE; I will look into it some more.
