Default audi rs4 cab question- ipod dock

I currently own a 2001.5 s4 and am in the process of looking to get a new car.. I am in the fortunate position to be looking at the 2008 rs4 cab (also looking at the '08 c2 s 911 and BMW m3 cab)- i was at the dlr and was told that the ipod is integrated however the tracks don't pop up.. I therefore was wondering
1) Is there ANY possible program I can purchase to allow the tracks to pop up on the screen?

I know it sounds trivial- however i actually really like that option in the BMW M3- and this may influence my decision.

DICE is working on a kit to correct this. Or so I've heard.

Default they don't pop up...

but alternatively, there are 2 SD slots behind the screen that play MP3 that will show the track names.

Of all the differences between those cars, is the lack of ipod track names REALLY the deciding factor? That outweighs AWD?

Correct. We have this exact setup, and there is no way to display from the iPod - only the cards

a "kit"- like an upgrade? ETA? Why didn't they integrate this appropriately initially?

Default Audi's iPod integration in the RS4 basically sucks. Runs in a CD emulation mode. We never use

our in the RS4 cab. Just get a couple of SD cards, load them up and you get full song title, folder, etc.

sounds like i should opt for the 6 CD changer instead of the ipod option
