Newbie question. Are all 07 Q7's NOT ami or mdi enabled from the factory? Is Denison or ami enabling the only option for aux cable?
I've spent some time looking for a port under center console or glove box and can't find any port that some sites speak of.

'07s didn't have an AMI from the factory, it was introduced in the '08s.
The 07s require a new wiring harness to hook up to the existing wiring for signal to the head unit. The install is pretty straight forward and didn't require any wire taping; true plug and play.

Start reading at the top of thread; if you are not a DIYer that likes to take things apart and has some patience and fine motor skills, this is probably not a project for you.
The early cars didn't have the option for the AMI, which gives you a method to introduce streaming music from an Ipod (originally), and now you can get a phone cable that connects to the AMI interface. On later cars the AMI is located inside the glove box, with the plugin AMI interface plug mounted to the inside at top of the glovebox housing. You can get diff cables for this AMI connector depending on what device you are connecting, but it's only good for music streaming. This is extremely old tech at this point, and you should consider the Dension unit as a hardwire, or perhaps some other aftermarket solutions that don't require you to do any wiring at all, such as the bluetooth to FM modulator devices that allow you to stream music directly into your radio system, etc.
My advice: Find an aftermarket solution to suit your desire to upgrade the car's audio input capabilities, or just buy a newer Q7 with a 3G MMI so you can get a Carplay/Android Auto aftermarket unit for it.
