I am about to take posession of a brand new U.S. 2006 A4 3.0 Cab with Nav (RNS-E i think), Bose/Sirius, Glove box 6 disc, and Bluetooth.
After trying to make sense of all the posts, I have to admit that I am still confused.
1. Can I add a PhatBox to this setup? I assume it will replace the changer, but I have read confilcting reports if it will work properly. Someplaces say it wont work with nav, others that it wont work with sat. If the system supports nav, sat, and the changer... and the phatbox replaces the changer, why does sat even matter?
2. (independant of the PhatBox, if I chose...) Can I add an Ipod adapter to this system? Most recommend the Icelink Plus, but some posts say it doesnt work with the RNS-e. Somewhere I read that it won't replace the changer and that you can chose to use the changer or the ipod. Is this correct? Even http://densionusa.com/ is unclear to me. They say they support A4 1998-2005 (ordering page doesnt even list 06). They list Chorus, Concert, Symphony, Symphony II radio (6 disk in-dash) systems But what is the system in my car (RNS-E + Bose). They also say its not compatible with factory XM module. So is Sirius out of luck also? Also not compatible with MMI cars. My nav looks like MMI, but I read somewhere it actually isnt.
3. Is the icelink plus the same as Audi adapter? Arent they both made by the same company? Which one is better and why?
If my understanding is correct, I think some of the confuion comes from the fact that the Europe 06 A4 cab is a model year aherad of the US 06 A4 cab.
I just want my System to work with either ipod or phatbox and have all my stock features working (except for maybe the changer).
Thanks in advance.
