Ipod Connection Help

[Legend7]

I have a new ipod which has the lightning connector. My car is a 12 plate with the old 30 pin connector factory default in the glovebox.

Can i simply use a Apple connector and get my ipod to work ? or do I need to get some other cable from Audi?

Will it show track names/details etc? and also charge it ?

I dont want to go and spend £30 just to find out it doesnt work

cheapest way is to get the adapter from ebay from 30 pin to lightning, but you can find as well on audi ami to lightning adapter.

the Audi mmi doesnt fit the ipod connector in the glovebox. Or is there one that does?

can someone confirm please

Do you have the Audi MMI interface or iPod dock, I suspect it’s the former being a ‘12 plate. Can you upload a pic?

 

[Legend7]

its the ipod dock.

Yeah, you need the plug you have in your link above. Amazon will have them cheaper.

has anyone actually used it and does it charge/play in the car?

 

[samuelh_888]

On my previous A3 I used it. It does play and from memory it did charge too.

will the glovebox close with it inside or is better to get the one with a longer lead?
