Default Connections for iPod integration

I have the Navi plus with satellite radio, CD changer, etc. and I am still searching for a way to integrate my iPod into the audio system while maintaining the CD changer, even with a switch between CD and iPod inputs if necessary. I do not care about using steering wheel or system controls for the iPod other than volume; I prefer the image and control options on the iPod rather than the CD playlist setup.

In my quest one supplier has asked about the type of connectors at the rear of the radio. Since I do not have the tools or the patience to pop out the radio, does anyone what the connectors are? I was given the following two likely options:

1 - 20-pin ISO connection
2 - 12-pin Quadlock connection

Default Thats the one I have.. works, but a PITA.. Can only skip songs forward and back on the steeringwheel

and it doesnt display song title or elapsed/remaining time.

Ends up being nothing more than a fancy AUX IN adapter.

Having said that, I couldnt live without it
I just wish someone would come out with text capability in the interface.

Default I talked to my dealership about it they said they could install the iPod adapter but I would lose

satellite radio or my CD changer. I personally don't use my satellite radio anyways, but I found that its easier for me to just load up 4gb SD cards and stick 'em in.

But I'm sure that could be another option for you. I don't know how well it works, but it was a few hundred $$

Default Thats exactly what I did - removed the CD & Sat - never use them anyway

All that fluff weight just slows you down anyways, right? Haha

Default Re: check this out.

I stopped at a car audio shop the day I got my RS4 to allow them to look at the system on board and check what would work. They had the DICE system in mind and checked with the manufacturer the next day - NO GO.
