Red Cable with iPhone 4s
All, Thanks for the great info on the Red Cable. I had been reading through all of the threads on the 2012 A6 before I picked up the car on Feb. 4th.
As I was going through all the buyers info with the sales rep, I noticed the blue cable in the bag. And thanks to this forum I asked the dealer to switch to the Red cable, which they did without a problem. In fact they said the system cost was the same to them, but the cost to the customer was much higher for the Red cable.
So if you are waiting for your A6. Ask your sales person to trade out for the Red cable!

SOFTWARE UPDATE; RED CABLE NOW WORKING
Ok, so I just got back from my dealer, and my ipod sofware is now updated. My red cable now works. Also, my car is an very early car, an 2011 model.
The attached images show the old version; HN+_DAB_K0097 (I've got an euro spec car), the new version HN+R_EU_AU_K0485_18, and a (bad) picture of the working red cable in action, and a picture of both cables.
The update came in the form of an CD, and the dealer updated it. It took a little while, a few hours.

I updated the first post with your new software version for others to compare...

Some additional info on the software update; It will also update the bluetooth, so that it uses 6 digit keys to connect instead of 4. Which means you have to bond all your devices again after the update. I could'nt do it right away, I thought the thing was broken, because the car was not detectable. But I figured I give it a day, and the next day everything worked nicely.
Also, when playing video, the sound does not go over the audio system. I think I read the same on another thread too. It's a bummer.
