I hear you and agree... Just was annoyed with this whole process, to get music in my q5.....
Something that is so simple in most cars lol...

Dock the phone before you start the car.

Agreed. Everyone complained when Apple came out with the original 30-pin connector for the iPod asking why did they use a proprietary cable instead of something off the shelf like firewire or USB. Customers had to either carry around their cables or buy additional ones for work, car etc. In the end people accepted it as the norm. I've felt some pain w/ the transition to Lightning. I had to buy 3 adapters costing me over $90 but in the end I'm fine w/ the investment especially since i know its in the name of progression. I for one love the fact that you can plug it in any which way.
