Anyone have any luck in installing an iPod in an RS4? If so, please let me know how. Thanks. Love my car.

 

I have not tried YET, but will-and when I do, I'll let ya know. Shouldn't be a big deal though. Just run it through an auxillary port on the factory head/amp. I wish Audi would have built the RS4 for IPod use rather than MP3 chips FYI.

why not buy an fm transmitter

 

I already have one and changing the station while driving on the digital readout or trying to avoid static blows! Plus, using an FM transmitter kills the volume.

 

i just transfered all my mpeg4 itunes to mp3 format and shoved it all onto a 1GB SD card and play it all off the factory sound system. that way you can use the steering wheel controls and it interfaces with the phone and shuts off when you get a call. and you don't have this funny white thingie on your center console in an otherwise beautiful black interior...

 

Genius!!! How would I do that with an iPod? My friend downloaded all of the songs for me on my B-Day and I don't have the software. Where can I buy a 1gb card at? Very much appreciate any directions tsu.

 

you can get a 1GB or 2GB SD card at any best buy or other electronics store. bout $50-$80 bux each but they store alot. i use it in my digital camera and cell phone too so for me they're handy to have around. also slots right into my laptop too so i can organize and sort files easily.

as far as converting MPEG4 files to MP3 files, you need to use your computer and get some sort of "file converter" that i think you can find online. i had one of the guys who work for me convert all my files (he's a big music/ipod geek) so i'll ask him for details as i'm not quite sure myself how he did it exactly. but you need to have all your ipod tunes on your computer, convert the files, then store them on the SD card. but once you've done all that, you just insert the card into the SD slot in the car and you're done. as you add new songs to your collection, you can update the card once in a while.

 

Cool, thanks! I need to get all of those songs onto my computer, ask your friend how I do it from iPod.

 

I had the dealer install the cable and it resides in the glove box. Be aware it nullifies the CD changer,
in my opinion a small price to pay. If you have NAV you can play single CD's in that slot (labled as "CD 7").

 

What exactly did your dealer install to enable you to run your iPod? Is there an auxiliary input in the audio system, and do you still have functionality with Nav, as well as bluetooth and your phone?
