Hello,

My first time on this forum. Great reading.

I've bought a second hand A3 1.6 with a Audi Chorus radio (and bose soundsystem). (year 2002 with xenon lights)
The sound I get is superb (dolby B). Only downside no cd or mp3 only cassette.

Now I've been reading on this forum and there are alot of talks about connecting an ipod to have mp3 functionality.
I think this radio (audi chorus) has support to connect a ipod with the ipod connection cable. Correct?

Is this the only thing I can connect to keep the dolby going? Are there other radio's on the market that just have standaard mp3 functionality for my A3 (with the dolby surround?) Or do I really have to buy an ipod?

One last question. The previous owner lost the owner's manual from this car. No where on the internet I can find this book. Would be handy to know all about this car.



Thank you very very much for the answers.

 

Oh I forgot is there a good prized mp3 changer on the market that I can connect to this chorus radio?

Thanks again!

 

If you have a cassette player in that audio system, that's one easy and very direct way to connect an iPod - just use a cassette adapter. They work great! Much better than an FM transmitter.

 

yep indeed but I heard the sound quality is not so great.

And I would prefer a solution without an ipod since I don't have one...
