IPod question

Can classic iPod (pre. Generation 4) connect to the A7? I use the classic because I have well over 64gb of music which is the limit on gen 4 ipods.

I have an older 160GB iPod and it hooks up just fine - I just don't get fancy album artwork or anything. But the text info shows up just fine. Sound quality isn't all that great but I have access to all my music. Good luck!

Yes, if the car comes with the blue grommet AMI cable (currently most Audis include this one). This cable will not play videos or show album art from any Apple devices, however. The red grommeted AMI cable will not work with older iPods but will display video and album art with the newer iTouch and iPhone.
