All Audi Radios from 1998 to 2011 have 2 different ways into the radio.

CD changer Port: Even if your radio has a CD changer built in your radio also has a connection on the back for a second CD changer.  CD Changer port interfaces trick the radio into thinking that there is a CD changer attached.  The radio opens the audio lines and lets you play CD quality music through your radio.  Many of these also allow you to control your music from your radio and steering wheel.

Fiber optic audio: A6 2005-2009, A8 2003-2009 Q7 2007-2009 all use a fiber optic adapter.  See this page for more info.  http://enfigcarstereo.com/DENSION_GW51MO2.html

 

 

$69.99  The Dension GW1L is our most popular  adapter. This Dension unit is an iPod / iPhone and auxiliary device. If offers song and playlist controls from the radio and steering wheel controls while never locking the controls on the iPod or iPhone. It also has a universal aux input that can take audio from virtually any device and play it on your factory speakers. This device tricks the radio into thinking its an external CD changer. Since it uses the external CD changer port it does not disable the CD or cassette in the radio. Dension has made OEM iPod adapters for Volkswagen / Audi so you can expect OEM build and sound quality.

-Can be used as an AUX only. We give you the option at checkout to remove the iPod cable and take $10 off the price.
-CD quality audio from your device to your car.
