Chris_B Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Over on Audiworld, there's a post that shows a German magazine article that suggests that a new Audi Music Interface unit for MMI will be available to order. It may support more than just iPod too, with the possibility of a USB interface being made to suppport a mutlitude of portable media devices. Knowing Audi, this will be another factory order item on new cars, so perhaps an opportunity for CraigyB to get some more upgrade orders in?

craigyb Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 This is identical to the Dension gateway 500, just like the A3/A4 Ipod adaptor Audi have bough this in from Dension to market as their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_B Posted August 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 I figured it must be, but the fact that Audi are prepared to integrate it into MMI rather than it having to emulate a CD changer is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigyb Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 No the Dension for the A6/A8 does integrate with the MMI, I just made the point that Audi bought in the icelink product and sold it as their own. Seems the yare doing the same with the Dension Gateway 500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without Audi adding code to MMI, media devices will either have to pretend to be CD changers, or will have to send a video signal and trap MMI wheel events, like the EPG function on the digital TV module, right? Unless Denison are a lot smarter than I thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badgera Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Craig - I recall from a previous thread that you had a Dension on order? Have you recieved and fitted this yet? I'm just about to order an A6 so I'm looking at IPOD options, I presume they are easy to fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
