I know I know, use the search button.
I did a search and didnt feel like reading 4000 post to come up with an answer.
I realized someone would be pretty upset with my subject line and asking the same question everyone else has 10^2133344 times, that they might be upset enuf to just answer my question.
I just got an Ipod Video,
I own a 2002 A6 with a Bose Radio, im not sure of the actual name.
What iPod intergration will allow the names of the song to apear in my dash, and radio and allow me to use my steering control?
thank you for your help.
any harrasement is well appreciated.

You can control the iPod via steering wheel or head unit (Icelink or Dice are the words to search for) but there is no device that would allow you to display the text on from the iPod on the head unit or DIS (LCD in the cluster).

There is only ONE solution that will allow you to get song names to appear on your OEM 02 head unit: Kensington FM transmitter that uses RDMS (radio data management system) to broadcast songs with the FM signal for reception on your head unit.
That said, you do NOT want this solution -- poor sound quality, no integration with head unit (and steering wheel) controls, etc.
Hard wired solutions (which you want) cannot display text because the head unit does not support it. Period.
The best solution for you to go with (assuming you don't care about video out from the iPod) is to go on ebay and search on "Audi IceLink". Solution used to cost $250, dropped to $150, and is now being liquidated for $15.
Follow the link in my signature for details on this product. Follow ALL of the links in the tech article to find a discussion of this productd vs. the DICE product.
FAR and away the best bang for the buck you will find.
