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.

Default Re: DICE/Dension icelink. - is it easy to install? How much?

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