I finially got my updated cable, and I gotta say wished I hadn't bothered !!! The sound quality is pants compared to the SD card I've been using, really noticably so!!! Will be using this for charging only.
recomend everyone invest in an SD card for there music !!!!
1. Yes
2. 64GB
I've been told by dealer that a USB and iPod cable will be supplied with the car.
Hmm, interesting. I see from my invoice that the dealer is charging me £54 for an "AMI cable pack - iPod/USB".
I'll have to check this out.
Yes, it's basically Audi's system to connect Apple devices to their MMI. USB cable does the same.Audi AG charge the dealer for the cable, the dealer charges you, I think £65 inclusive of vat. You can ask them to take it off the order or not take it when the car is delivered. Get them on eBay for £10.
The brochure says that the standard MMI supports up to 2TB SDXC cards. I know anything above a 64gb card can be very expensive, but it looks as though you could go larger than 64gb (SDXC only!!)
What about those of us running Android? I streamed my spotify library over Bluetooth when I test drove but I don't remember whether the artwork came across and I didn't have time to play around with using the car's controls to pause etc. Anyone know anything about how compatible non-iOS devices are, wired or otherwise?
P.S. I haven't ordered the Tech Pack.
Jaikos fixed my art problem!! You can upload artwork onto multiple files and check its the right size. Very easy programme to use!

edit ' now to try and see if I can get photos to show from my contacts !!!
.
Did you get the photo's sorted on the contacts? How?
Nope tried everything , could never get it to work! That's assuming that the little grey box is there to show a picture
Is album art supposed to work with both the SD navi and the tech pack? I was sort of under the impression that was one of the features you got for spending â¬1100 for the upgrade, but I would love to be wrong! I'm a bit OCD and think the album art thing is a great feature.
Also, does anyone know whether it is possible to connect one iPhone via the MMI cable for music and another via Bluetooth for everything else, or will that make the system explode? My plan is to leave my old iPhone in the car and use it just for music. I will have to wait and see if it is a better idea to just use an SD card. It would be fantastic to have my whole library (150 Gb or so) accessible!
Thanks,
GS
Album art does work on the standard set-up. You don't need the Tech Pack.
Can't see a problem having two iPhones connected. I often have my iPhone connected via Bluetooth for calls and music plus my iPad 3G connected for music via the cable. All will work fine and are selectable through the MMI.
Wow where do you manage to fit the iPad? Lol
I specced the Audi Phone Box Tardis Edition. As soon as I plug it in, the iPad seems to shrink down to iPod size and fits perfectly in the armrest. It's option code DRW on the Audi Configurator, although I'm not sure it's still available.
On a more serious note, it's a mini - just thrown onto the passenger seat. To be honest, I've only really used it in the car when I had new Spotify music on it which I couldn't be bothered to transfer onto my iPhone.
I bought the cable with the red collar and I have the 1rst gen iPod touch with 3.01 firmware. It just says loading when I plug to Ami.. any ideas?Hello
I am new to this forum having just taken delivery of my A3 SE, I have just sorted out the question of cables after a bit of research. My A3 came with a red grommet cable which did not work with my (getting on a bit) Ipod 80g classic, I have just picked up the cable with a blue grommet and it worked straight away.
Here is a list I found on another site which lists all versions of Ipod/Iphone the version is I believe the firmware on the Ipod/Iphone.
I hope this helps and I am sorry if this is mentioned elsewhere on the forum.
There are two versions of the iPod cable that can be used.
- 4F0 051 510 K (with blue marking) without Video function
iPod mini (From Version 1.3.0)
iPod nano
iPod 4G (From Version 1.2.1), iPod 5G Video, iPod 6G classic
iPod touch
iPhone
iPad (From Version 4.2.1)
- 4F0 051 510 R (with red marking) with Video function
iPod nano 5G (From Version 1.0.2)
iPod touch 1G, 2G, 3G and 4G (From Version 3.0.0)
iPhone 1G, 3G, 3GS and 4G (From Version 3.0.0)
iPad (From Version 4.2.1)
Thanks number3 I too noticed the low hum from the speakers and will have to go to the dealer to get the software update.
Was the dealer supposed to supply me with a cable? And also was i supposed to ger a sim card too ?
