2007 A6 AMI Ipod Input to Aux Input converter

Thanks for the input. i was trying to avoid bluetooth somewhat for my past experiences of it not being smooth/always working like a 3.5mm aux jack does.

Does anyone know if it is possible to reconfigure the AMI to only look for sound input rather than a data handshake?

There are some options that emulate an iPod, but let you plug in a device through a 3.5mm jack, like this or this or this.

I have no idea how well any of them work and you can't control your device through the MMI, but you'd have a physical connection vs. Bluetooth. The other option would be to buy a cheap used iPod and get Apple Music.

If you want to go the route with the 3.5mm jack and have a nice phone holder that attaches to your dashboard and not your windshield, look at proclipusa.com for a nice mount and device holder. I've been using proclip mounts and holders for years and wouldn't use anything else.

I am using the Carpro bluetooth adapter.

It is slow to reconnect, especially when the phone is connected to a bluetooth headset.

Other than that it is perfect.
