That's certainly a workable option. The only thing it can't do is pass video since all iDevice Lightning connectors output video in digital and the MMI AMI can only process in analog. The AMI Lightning cable includes a DAC which allows video to be converted to analog for the AMI.

My apologizes, I was mistaken and the above is not true. I forgot that I previously imported all my songs from the SD card and I've been listening to the hard drive. Indeed, if I switch to the SD card I cannot randomize song play across all albums.
