Aux input replaces sd card reader?

**jkh112** · 26-06-2008,11:54 PM

I understand that 2009 spec cars se and s-line will come with aux input as standard, but does anyone know if this replaces or is in addition to the sd card reader?
I will be upset if it replaces the card reader.

Hmm that is a good point. I have no idea, but I know the current model comes with the SD card reader and the AUX line in. I would find it strange if they did away with one or the other neither items cost much at all and the software that would allow MP3 playback would already be 'written into' the MMI interface, and so to do away with that and the SD card reader really would not make sense.

Are you telling me all current A4 B8's come with a AUX IN 3mm plug as standard or have I misread that.?

I've just taken a look at the German Audi website in the hope it might help with this. I have taken the following from their configurator (translated by a German speaking colleague!)

"Single CD player, SD card reader, Can play both MP3s and WMAs, Capacity to save 30 different radio stations, Radio receiver for both FM (UKW) and AM (MW,LW), Multi Media Interface control, 6.5 inch colour screen, TP-memory function, Volume control based on speed, 8 loudspeakers, 80 Watts power supply, AUX-In Connection"

If this is up to date then it looks as if the SD-Card reader and AUX-In are both supplied. Fingers crossed ...!

If there is an AUX in, I dont know where it is. Havent found it on mine yet.

I confirm that, as standard, all B8 come with SD Card reader and line-in. The line-in is in the central rest-arm, close to the phone prep.

Thats great news. I was wondering how I could connect my IPOD up. Thought I had to buy the fancy MMI intergration stuff or go down the route of a FM transmitor. If I can use a 3mm AUX in plug and just use the controls on the IPD directly that will suit me! Great stuff

Yes, you can connect directly an IPOD. To control, you have to use the IPOD itself. I'm working with my dealer to install an adapter cable or an equipment to control the IPOD, USB or MP3 player directly from the steering wheel buttons.
