I am secretly hoping that Audi will do a MP3 capable radio/cd in the near future. Something that I simply replaces the concert. I really like the clean look of the factory fitted radios and don't want to mess up my dash with some piece of bling just because it does mp3. I also wouldn't want to lose the DIS integration. ID3 in the DIS would be awesome!
I'm sure Audi can't keep ignoring mp3 forever. If I could have justified the investement I would have gone for the SatNav plus just beacuse it does mp3, but the kind of money they want for it is just plain ridiculous. You could buy 10 tomtom units plus a proper 3rd party MP3/CD unit for that kind of money. On top of that, you don't get the investment back once you trade the car in. It will only make it easier to sell/trade the car, because the next owner is getting your satnav almost for free!
