No Android Auto in my '15 and the '16 is supposed to be the same MMI.

My son's Golf has Android Auto and I love it..... My next car must have it.

No. I dont have it. I believe it is to allow the music files to be played or loaded into the jukebox.

The cable shown is one of the AMI options for playing music from portable devices with a mini (or micro, I can't tell which from the picture) USB connector. There is another AMI cable available with the standard USB connector as well. It can be used with portable hard drives or any smart phone and will play music files through the MMI.

Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are expected to start appearing in select Audi models next year,

It allows you to connect external storage device (a drive or smartphone which is visible as external storage) so that you can play files from it.

It does not have anything to do with Android Auto.

Default Plug and Play music via special Bluetooth technology

I'm using Viseeowma3000a for my Audi Q5 2016, it works really well for me. I can play music via Bluetooth, and it's multi-functional. Visit Viseeo - ViseeO Worldwide Official Site there are models to choose from that will best fit for your car. I already got mine.
