Hi all, apologies if this is a dumb question, I'm still learning Audi ways... My wife has recently bought a 62 plate A1. I've been looking at how to connect an iPod or other USB device and I'm totally stumped. Reading around, I think there should be a socket in the glovebox that I plug an adapter cable into, but there's nothing there. In the top of the glovebox, there's a hole, but I can't feel any loose cables that an adapter might plug into. Am I missing something obvious? Thanks Paul

Hi all, New to this forum, and to Audi! Pick up my 2000 S6 4.2 on Friday. It's an old girl to start with but have to start somewhere. The very first thing I want to do, is fit an auxiliary input to the stereo. Perhaps should do more mechanical things but I love music. Has anybody any experience on this or any advice they could give at all. Is it even possible?? Once I begin I'll keep details on here posted and photos along the way too. Although I haven't picked up the car yet I have a photo of the system from the car advert. See attached image. Cheers! Dan

Hi, I'm looking to play my iPod and have full function through the mmi 2g high running latest software. From what i've read, the best way of doing this is to replace the CD changer with and AMI. The part number i've found is 4E0 057 785 with various letters for different versions. I'm struggling to find a unit for a sensible amount of money so does anyone know: 1. if any other AMI's from different models are compatible? 2. somewhere to buy the correct AMI from? Thanks Andy

Good afternoon Guys, Maybe you can help me stop going round in circles. I'm collecting a 2012 Audi A5 S-Line on Saturday after deciding to trade in my 2007 Lexus 220d. Really like the car, love the way it drives and feels, love the boot hatch etc.... However I'm going nuts trying to work out how and what Apple products attach to the stereo. It's fitted with the Audi Concert system which I believe is the base model. That said, it has the 30pin iPod connection in the glove box. As I am not a fan of Apple products, I am only guessing that this is for the older Apple products.The Lexus I would stream Spotify through the Bluetooth system so it wasn't an issue but I have got used to having no CD's in the car and love having a huge library, including play lists in the car. I have tried speaking to the local Audi dealership who I have to say where worse than useless and tried to flog me a cable at £52.50 plus vat and then a bodge connector at a further £29 plus vat. Honestly? I left with the impression the guys didn't have a clue. So, would an iPod Nano 6th Generation work in here? Or would I be better off buying a 7th gen and an Apple Lightning to 30pin adapter?

First of all, I have to explain that I am new to Audi Cars so I apologise in advance if I sound daft with this question. I have recently purchased a 15plate Audi A4 Avant S-line with the MMI system installed. I have been trying to connect an IPod touch to the system with the appropriate cable to connect the device to the socket found in the glove box. The system has identified the Ipod OK, and I can select music OK. But the problem is that t playback is not via the cars speakers, but the ipod's internal speaker. Do I need to install the Audi MMI app on the Ipod? Any advice and guidance would be appreciated. Mike B

Hello everyone. I'm awaiting my A3 (2010) Black Edition which has RNS-E(?) installed. When I sat in it, there was a "plughole" for an audi cable (in the glove box from memory) which allows ipod control but I couldn't find the cable itself anywhere. The dealership says it's included but if it isn't, i'll need a new one .....problem is, which one? Firstly, being a 2010 car, will iphone/ipod track and info appear on the display? Will I be able to control it fully from the steering wheel? Secondly, if yes, then to do this what do I need? Question 1: I think the first option should work, but for more flexibility, would option 2 be OK with a standard Apple charging cable plugged into that -- i.e. would I still retain full control of the iPod with the ability to also control USB sticks if needed instead? This option gives me the widest flexibilty. Question 2: In future, if I upgrade to a newer iPod, would I also be able to simply add an iPod adapter to either option 1 or add my standard lightning charging cable to option 2 to convert to lightning equipped phones and have full control or do I need a completely new/different MMI to lightning cable? Ideally i'd like the MMI - USB cable so that I can (hopefully) plug any android or apple phone or USB stick in and get full control - I just need to know it will work before I order it (or get the dealer to provide it). Thanks for any help. P.S. I haven't recieved the car yet and this is my first Audi so I think it's an RNS-E satnav installed but may be wrong. I posted an intro in the "New members introductions" section and put a photo of the unit in the cabin in there so you can see what it comes with...

Hi, I'm hoping someone else has encountered this problem! I've recently purchased the 2008 Model A5. Came with the MMI system but doesn't allow USB/SD capabilities. It features AUX under the arm rest but I've never been a fan of AUX and the fact I can't control this through the car. Is there any way of connecting a wire to the MMI system from behind or something that can allow me to install a USB cable. I have heard there is a CDC port at the back of this, so what can be done with this? Also, does the MMI have a built in hard drive that I can tap into? How do I store music on this and how can I then have access to it? Hope you can help!
