Default IPOD help

My Audi dealer is pretty good but I wonder if they have the facts right. My 2005 A8SWB with MMI is yearning for the new IPOD connector BUT the dealer says I will lose my CD changer as well as my Sirius Satellite to get it(not that they have seen one yet). Are they right ? They can have the CD changer but I hate to give up my Sirius.

PS While I was there I saw the S8 and I'm still salivating.

I'd give up the changer and the sat for iPod interface

Default My understanding is that the Retro kit for cars with MMI ('04, '05, '06)

will allow you to keep both the CD changer and any Sat. Radio you may have.

Default Their info is incorrect as I understand it. There is currently NO retro kit available from Audi...

...that operates the same as the MMI-compatible version now available beginning on January '07 production cars. Latest is, they are working on a retrofit kit for '04 thru early production '07 cars. I posted the announcement from AoA a on Dec 6th---It details the whole magilla (see linky below).<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a8d3/msgs/37027.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/a8d3/msgs/37027.phtml</a</li></ul>

Default No Audi kit available yet. Dice sells one in Europe and the Ipod / CD changer are..
