Hello, I am new here, got recommended this site from the clubwrx.net guys when I bought my A4.

I have an 04' A4 1.8T Quattro Ultrasport with the factory Bose system.

I need to figure out the best option for iPod integration. I've been poking around here and searching, and there is a ton of options, but I need to know which will work best for me, at a reasonable price.

I've narrowed it down to:

Denison Ice Link
Audi Factory Connection
The Dice Electronics one from mp3carpros.com
2point5 industries
Neo ProLink - PODAUDV1

I have experience with installs like this in my WRX, even more advanced stuff like custom mounted iPod remote control in my suby, so I am comfortable doing this my self.

I am a stickler about sound quality, tried a few FM transmitters, they angered me after about 5 seconds.

What is the best option here? I mean, heck, I can't even figure out where to buy one of the 2point5 industries ones, or where to see more information about it. I'd love to hear personal experiences here, pros and cons. I know I will not be able to display song info on the screen, and I am ok with that, I just want something that works.

Like I said, there are tons of threads here about iPod integration in the B6, but I am looking for a definitive answer so I can order confidently, and hopefully help others order confidently.

On another note, I have been contemplating adding aftermarket (or stock) navigation to my audi. Would I be better off to wait and do this?

 

Dude I got the one from MP3CarPros and I am so damn happy I left a review on their web site. If you go to the promotion coupon try putting in 20%off or 20$off I forgot what I typed in. You can go up to $50 off. But they got mad cause I put in $50 by accident. Anyways its really worth going through the mp3carpros website. I love it.

 

go with Ice Link FTW!!!!!!!!!!

 

i like the mp3carpros.com site and their bargaining deal. i think i will try that out thanks

 

is there anything else i can use to remove the stero, like a common household item or tool?

they want $12 for a removal tool that is sheet metal....that must be a 4000% mark-up

 

In my personal opinion and from past experiences, buy the little thingys. Sure they are completely overpriced, but they will save you a headache... and most important, save the interior of your car from getting scuffed up and dinged from using alternate methods.

 

thanks
