Adding an aux input to a 2010 A6

[Red D]

Posted this in the A6 forum, so apologies for double-posting, but figured it might be better in here...

My car doesnt have an aux input and I could do with one. Whats the cheapest way of doing this?

I dont need the CD changer, so happy to remove that.

Any links to the best piece of kit to use?

or is there anyone in the yorkshire area you can recommend to do it?

Cheers

Hi, this is it... I think its the MMI 3G;




From reading various forums, it seems Audi had a period in 2010 where they built the cars without the Aux/iphone input - instead opting for SD cards.

The SD feature is great, until spotify came along and I wanted to stream music.

Ive found a kit in the £3-400 range, which is aimed more towards playing music from your ipod and seeing track details on the screen. I dont need this, merely an aux so wondered if disconnecting the CD changer and splicing the L/R cables would work?

Also seems weird that you cant stream music via bluetooth?

We've fitted ami to these systems & used the ami bt dongle for streaming, works well, albeit at a cost but then it gives you facility for using usb drives, streaming, ipod etc.

ok cheers, looks like my options are a new AMI at £300+ or something like this

Or as a final resport, would this work;
