2010 A4 iPod retrofit
Hi,
Sorry if this has already been covered before. It probably has, but I couldn't find it.
I've recently bought a 2010 A4 S-Line and I'm looking at options to set up ipod integration. It has the Concert III system (no MMI), with B&O speakers, but apart from that it seems to be pretty basic (single CD, etc.). From what I can make out, the only compatible option is the Viseeo Talk2Can AMI. Would that be right?
Considering I'm not worried about bluetooth phone integration, £300 for the unit, and another £170 that would need to be spent on a dongle or a trip to a dealer to update the computer, it's working out pretty pricey.
Does anybody know if there are any other options available that would give give me just ipod integration (controlled through the radio with access to playlists, podcasts etc)?
Do you know if there is likely to be anything like the XCarLink options for the Concert/Chorus/Symphony I&II any time soon? They look like they do pretty much exactly what I'm looking for for a fraction of the price, but they only seem to be compatible up to the 2006 or 2008 model.
Also, do these also need to be enabled in the computer to work too, or if you cannect it to the CD changer port is it just plug and play?
Sorry about all the questions but I'm new to this.
Thanks for your help,
Johnny.
