Hooking up iPod to B7

hawc · 02-09-2005, 07:12 PM

How will I hook up my iPod to my new B7 (due early April) I have a Dension IceLink that works great in my VW GTI but it relies on the CD out line to my 6-Disc changer. Does the Audi have something like that? I ordered the upgraded Bose sound system.

BTW, this is my first post on AudiWorld.

More people (in America anyway) have an iPod than are subscribed to XM and Sirius. So why is Audi pre-wirinng satelite radio (with those ugly surfboard antennas) and not the iPod?
Why aren't they listening to customer demand? Have the product designers been living under a rock and not heard about the iPod buzz?
When I can bring my entire cd collection with me on an iPod, why would I want to listen to the radio? It's a basic question of Push vs. Pull. Wired magazine wrote a great article on why Push (read: broadcast) technologies are on their way out and why Amazon.com, NetFlix, TiVo, iTunes, etc. are where media consumption is headed. See link.

Do you have the in-dash changer or the Nav+?
Do you plan on keeping Sat radio?
