I'm thinking of buying a 2014 A4 with the MMI Navigation Plus package. I'm having a hard time understanding exactly what kind of integration I'll get with my Android phone

1. Can I play music via Pandora and Spotify?

2. Do I connect via bluetooth or a cable?

3. Do I initiate the music playing by using the phone, or from the MMI interface?

4. Can I skip to the next song from the steering wheel controls?

Sorry for the basic questions but google is surprisingly unhelpful

Thanks!

If the 2014 A4 is equipped with 3G MMI with Bluetooth Audio you can stream Pandora or Spotify with limited control (skip and song display in the MMI). The included AMI cable is for Apple portable devices but you can have MMI control of your Android songs with an optional AMI>USB cable. (Not sure if Spotify or Pandora can be played via the cable though with Bluetooth audio, you won't need it). Any of the aforementioned will have basic steering wheel control, at least skip and volume control.

Thanks! I'm a little confused though.

I'm happy to buy the cable if that's needed. But you're saying that one way or another

1. I'll be able to play Pandora/Spotify and stream songs to the car
2. I'll be able to skip songs from the steering wheel?

That's my main concern.

Thanks!

If your A4 has bluetooth audio, then yes and yes. Not so sure with a cable.

Awesome thanks. This car has the MMI navigation plus package so I guess that means I'm set.

My 2012 will do phone, but no music over bluetooth, so I was very sad when I found that out. You should just be able to pair it, turn on some music, and do your thing before you buy it to make sure!
