Hello,
i recently let my Audi dealer install the original iPod Adapter (Part No. 8E0 051 444) in my Audi allroad 2.5TDI Apr-2004 with factory-installed RNS-E, Bose Soundsystem, CD-Changer, Steering Wheel with audio controls.
To start off, a hint regarding connecting:
My dealer obviously de-installed the CD-changer harness and connected the new harness from RNS-E to iPod Adapter box without realising that the speed signal, k-line and Bose pin would get lost, leading among other issues for being unable to navigate when GPS satellites are out of sight. This issue could be resolved meanwhile by re-configuring the car mounted wires to the quadlock connection of the cd changer interface.
Helpful were the information at www.nsxjr.com (many thanks for the excellent site!!!), especially http://www.nsxjr.com/ted/TED_RNS_E.pdf to explain my dealer what went wrong ;-)
What I don't like about the original Audi Adapter is that I have no chance to directly control the Ipod, just via the MMI interface I have access an 5 playlists + all titles (CD 1-6), left apart some noise when changing tracks.
As I read in diverse places in the Internet that the original iPod adapter is supposed to being produced by Dension, I wonder if it's possible to upload the newest Dension Firmware (should be 2.17) to the Audi adapter.
Has anyone tried this so far?
I ask because I fear to make things broken.
Die Dension Firmware 2.17 gibt's hier:
The firmware ist available at e.g.
http://www.car-audiosystems.com/sup...&_a=view&parentcategoryid=28&pcid=20&nav=0,20
I'd appreciate confirmation on the Audi iPod adapter being a Dension device.
Furthermore, anyone out there who uploaded new firmwares to the Audi iPod Adapter?
Best regards
Sven
