Default IPOD integration sucks
I am happy with everything about the new RS4 but I have to admit the Ipod integration just plain sucks. One would think that if they call it Ipod integration it would do more than just see it as a rather large cd with 99 unidentifiable tracks on it.

As it stands I need to remove it from the glove box to select a specific song and pop it back in. Am I missing something?

Default no - you're not missing anything. The ipod integration on the A4/S4/RS4 sucks.
The system for the new A6/Q7 etc is WAY better.

Default Never tried the iPod integration. After reading your comments and those of a few others
I'm glad I didn't for it.

Those SD cards aren't too shabby.

Default Agreed. I really like the SD cards.
Steering wheel control, two slots, compact media.

I much prefer this to having to drag my ipod into the car everyday.

I also don't want to lose my CD changer. As nice as mp3s can be, they aren't great for sound quality.

How much is the unit? Can you still use your radio &amp; satellite radio? Is it easy to install?
