Default New Option for iPod Integration

Found this today. It's a longshot, but has anyone here ordered this and tried it? He's got one feedback from someone that purchased who said it worked well, but seller is out of Poland so probably a bit of a risk to try it.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this.

Interesting. Seems like they are producing their own product. It being the first (?) version on the market may make it buggy.

Also, it looks nothing like the Audi AMI. Plus you do not know how it interfaces with the MMI. A lot of ifs in this, but the price is attractive. Any reviews on this online? You just might buy what you pay for with this.

I reached out to the seller and asked a few questions. Perhaps I'll bite the bullet and buy one to see if it really works.

Looks like the seller has positive feedback, and someone bought one:

Works as promised just plug and play. The unit was installed within 1 hour.

MMI iPOD INTERFACE FOR AUDI A6 A8 A5 Q7 AMI MMI 2G HIGH (#180446152866) US $245.00 View Item

With Bing Cashback, Ebay Bucks, and Mr. Rebates, i could get this thing down to $253.65 That would be a good price...

someone should email that buyer and see what they say about it..

Does the Dension unit work with all MMI software versions? One thing I noticed with this new unit is that you need 3460 or higher and my software is currently at 2750 and I don't have the upgrade CD's nor was I planning to take it to the dealer to update the software. Am I missing anything big by keeping at 2750?

You may want to double-check w/Dension's product info, I seem to recall their unit having similar requirements for minimum MMI version.
