RE: Ipod connection help.
I don't have one but I've done some research on them. I think NEO had a little how to video that was real decent. If I would have done it I was going to go with them. The problem I ran into was they were going to have to use my satellite radio connector on the stereo and I didnt want to give up the sat radio. (find a lot on new music with it) Anyways, I've also heard Audi has an adaptor, but when I went by the dealership on Friday they couldnt find it in the system. I know its out there, the dealers/service here is sort of lame. Same problem with having to give up Sat radio, but a post on here said something about crimping the wires and being able to get both. Sounds a little shady to me, but probably possible. CNET also had some info on them, I think they also had an installation vid. Anyways, its definetly possible. Just consider how they let you interact. Supposedly the Audi one only did 5 play list and didn't let you interact with the IPOD, all controls through the car stereo, there are a couple out there that give you an option. Personnally if all I am going to get is five playlist I think I would like the option to interface with the IPOD itself. Anyway, I'm still interested in this subject if you find anything good pls post. I called down to the people at NEO a few months ago they were really nice.

It should work, but I would talk to or email a rep before committing the cash. Second if you have a changer in the trunk you will no longer be able to use it because the connection to the Neo will take its place.
