There are several options including Blitzsafe , GROM and DICE and Audi.

The Audi adapter is expensive and not that great. The other (3) are pretty decent.

The Blitzsafe will work with your itouch, use the newer cable. You use the controls on the ipod to change tracks. $60-80 .

The GROM offers the same functionality as the Blitzsafe, but you can select a mode that allows you to control tracks (via playlists) from the symphony.$80-100.

Same as GROM but has several modes selectable at the time of install.$100+

All of them are very easy to install (less than an hour). They use the CD changer socket on the back of the stereo.Plug I.

I have a Blitzsafe in our A4 and a GROM in our TT.

I have bought from them. You can also find them on E-bay, but be careful there are units with the older style cables that don't charge the iPod Touch or iPhone.

You will need a set of (4) radio keys to remove the symphony.
