So, vote with your wallet and don't buy iThings. You'll probably make it even if you don't have an iPhone 5.

iPod out is a special feature that AUDI does not use in it's MMI/AMI schema. If Audi Used IPod Out, the screen would display an interface from the iPod itself, and not the MMI look.

Currently Audi reads the database of the iPod Music player and pushes audio out into the MMI.

The adapter WILL work with the Audi MMI/AMI system.

I'm pretty sure you're misunderstanding iPod out, but...

Do you have pictures that show the iPhone 5 working with an Audi MMI?

The APPLE adapter has an authentication chip that determines what type of connection it needs based on the source connection. The adapter will then adapt to the type of connection and allow that connection to occur with the 8 "Dynamic" pins in the new lightning adapter.

It also has a DAC (Digital Audio Converter) to convert analog audio to the new digital audio nature of Lightning.

I recommend not getting cheap knockoffs and only go with the official adapter.

As for not understanding what iPod Out is, please refer to these articles and videos.

The adapter will pass through the analog audio from the iPhone 5 thru the adapter and into the AMI
