So my PhatBox won't work with MMI?

tomoneilljr · 10-12-2004, 04:32 PM

Hey there, I've been a long time reader of this forum, but this is my first post.

My loaded '05 C6 4.2 (Black/Black)arrives in a few weeks (I can hardly stand to wait any longer) and I just found out that my PhatBox won't be compatible with MMI - I'm back to 6 CDs?

It works perfectly in my '01 2.7T (if you are a music junky, I highly recommend it)...

Anyone have any more information on this? Or, any other recommendations for adding mp3 playback in the new A6 - save an FM modulated Kenwood Music Keg...

Thanks in advance.

into the stereo/tuner rack, which is located in the drivers' rear trunk area.

That is really strange. Did the dealer tell you this...or do you know for a fact?

I'd take another look at how that glovebox CD Changer interfaces with the MMI. You can probably have one or the other.....but not both.

Good luck!
