iPhone connectivity

Post by Jon_J » Sat Apr 08, 2017 3:48 pm

What is everyone using to connect their iPhone. I guess there are two parts to this:

1. Bluetooth (phone only, not for music)
2. Music

I had the OEM Bluetooth set up in my S4 and my RS has a Kufatec system which seem to work exactly the same. I am happy with this other than the non OEM microphone. I may change it for the OEM system at some point.

I have the AUX cable which I connect my phone to at the moment but the the quality and volume is crap.

In my A4 I have an iPhone cable from a company called Dension, this I assume uses the CD changer input as it shows as a cd track when you select media and play it. It shows the track name on the dash and you can next track from the steering wheel or stereo.

I have the CD changer in the RS but I can't be bothered to keep burning CD's, that's why Spotify and Apple Music are so good, listen to what you want when you want. You can stream via Bluetooth using the Kufatec but the quality is embarrassing.

So what is everyone else doing to connect and listen to music from their phones?

Is the aux cable through the parrot? The aux on the RNSE is so quiet.

You can't fit AMI unless you upgrade to a mk2 RNSE from a later A3 or TT and swap the fascia over from your existing RNSE

I retro fitted the mk2 RNSE a few months ago now, this seems like the next step. I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has one fitted.
