AMI won't work with the version of the RNS-E factory fitted to the B7, it needs the 2010+ version of the RNS-E.Audi do their own interface (AMI).

Sorry just found the answer to my question on the X Carlink website
I've got the X carlink in my A4 Cab it's connected to a concert head unit with Cd changer in the glove box. The unit connects into the cd changer port on the head unit. Then the cd changed plugs into the X carlink. There is a little relay I the carlink box that changes the connections for the Xlink or the Cd changer so you can use both
The X link has a 3.5mm jack on it and it comes with a cable to connect the iPod / iPhone.
To use it you just start playing music on your iPod and then press the cd button on the head unit the Xlink detects the audio and switches the relay.
I also brought and fitted the bluetooth unit so I can make calls
This is good it come with a little microphone which I placed near the sun visa and I can also play music from the iPhone wirelessly via Bluetooth.
The quality of the phone kit isn't as good as the OEM install but it is far superia to the other Bluetooth car kits you get I'm refuring to the ear piece ones and the sun visor ones
The kit is a little clunky at times you don't get any info on the head unit but u can adjust the volume using the MFSW and sometimes you have to press the cd button to get it to unlatch the relay and connect the cd changed in the glove box. If ur listerning to a cd and a call comes in it will change over to the phone.
I really like the Xcarlink it's nowhere near as technical as a parrot system but is good for the money and at some point I'm looking to upgrade to the Audi Rnse and Bluetooth but till the I'm using the Xlink
