I know i know, search search search.. and i have, i swear. but i can't find any info for connecting an ipod to a 96 a4.. its pre-bose and all that. i don't even know what the speaker situation is. i want to get rear speakers for it, do mine have the amp on it like the newer ones? mainly though i'm just lookin gfor info on connecting an ipod to it. i have a cd changer if that helps.

the guy who started that thread is looking for the same thing, but for a zune, and his car is a 2000. your only option is one of the fm-transmitter things I think.

 

yeah thats what reminded me that i was looking for something similar lol

i've searched on like 3 audi forums and couldn't find info about either my speakers, nor an ipod connection.. i'm not looking for anything fancy, i just want a direct connection into the stereo possibly using the cd changer wire, as opposed to using a cassette adapter like i am now.. and i'd rather avoid using an fm transmiter, i've never been a fan of those.

 

the fm transmitters have actually come a long way... but you get what you pay for with them. be prepared to spend close to a hundred bucks, and you'll have good sound quality. pick one up at walmart, and well, you'll get what you pay for.

dunno if there's a way to do it with the cd changer wire. I'd expect there to be a DIY for it if it was doable, or at least a mention of it in a thread somewhere either on here, AZ, or AW.

 

i hate the FM transmitters... all of them ive tried a couple of them. they suck. sense i have a tape deck, i just use the tape deal and hook it to my ipod.. turn up the ipod to about 75% volume and you get amazing sounds quality

 

i wouldn't call it amazing, but its far better than using the fm..
