what would you say was the best ...........

[Turkster]

what would you say the best way to connect an iphone4 to my symphony head unit would be?

i'd like to plug in the iphone and be able to control the music from the head unit,

Thanks

Paul

something like this - Audi iPod Interface :: AUDI :: XCarLink

Fit a Symphony / Concert II+ headunit from a late B7 - Get the wiring adaptor and Ipod interface from Kufatec.

Looks all standard + greatly increased sound quality.

I have a Dension 100 - full control from steering wheel/radio (mimics a 6CD changer) and track names in the DIS. Brilliant bit of kit.

I brought this from a 57 plate sline model thinking it will fit my 2002 model but realised after the climate control unit is also slimmer and it will not fit unless I buy a slim climate unit but these can be expensive and rare

not for a B6 if i read rightly.

YEs I think that's what he means, I have that in mine and the sound quality is a lot better... not (yet) compatible with B6 MFSW though (except volume controls)... I'm working on it!

EDIT: Climate unit just needs trimming and you need a connector from Kufatec... the seller obviously isn't on a forum!!

I've read it turkster just wondered if it will fit mine if I trim the climate control unit down lol...

I think i will keep my syphony II unit the way it is, i just want a plug and play thing for the iphone,

Yep, exactly what I mean.
If you have a double-din Symphony unit, it just slides straight in with the addition of a wiring loom adaptor from Kufatec.
Kufatec also do the adaptors for the MF-steering wheel & I-pod.
Slightly more expensive option but its worth it for the looks, sound upgrade and OEM-ness (gets rid of the tape-deck which makes the interior feel abit more up-to date)

If you have the single-din concert unit I believe you need to remove the existing centre console & replace for one with a double-din slot.

Here is mine;

Sweet I'm going to fetch mine shortly it's local to me so saving the p&p

 

[ScottD3]

Is bluetooth an option?

Saves you from being stuck with a iPhone interface, you can also use other phones, tablets and future iPhones when they change the plug again.

This is the one you need;
KUFATEC GmbH & Co. KG - Audi bundle adapter head unit BNS 5.0, Concert 3, Symphony 3 35713

You will need to answer the questions to the right (ours is the A4 8E)
