It depends on if you have NAV or not. No Nav = blue grommet cable, with Nav = black grommet cable. Also there was a bad batch of black cables according to my dealer.

 

Hey Thanks !!

No Nav.. .i actually borrowed a cable out of a friends Q7 and hooked up my girlfriends brand new Ipod and it synced fine..tomorrow will try mine.. and if it works.. will call my dealer..

Any thoughts on the SD card reader and how to make a playlist and why it doesn't play AAC (mp4) files from Itunes ?

Thanks in advance

 

Sorry, don't use it since I have 80G ipod I have no need for the SD slot. I know the manual discusses it a bit so the playlist would have to be made on you pc using windows media player I would assume.

 

i think its weird that the iPhone doesn't link to the MMI....

 

The iPhone syncs no problem for me.

 

what exactly is the cord called i went to my audi dealer and they said it would be $50 and not free. they also said if i dont have the upgraded audi music package or something like that i wouldnt be able to see the ipod songs on the screen...is this true?

 

Yeah you have to have the ipod Kit in order for that to work, but if you have the aux port you can use any male/male headphone cord, but you wont see it on screen which suckssssss..... but if you do have the ipod kit the cord comes free... i had to try 3 different cords to get my 80gig vid ipod to work, now it works great
