AMI (Audi Music Interface) – Cable Compatability Music

Mar 17

Like always new technologies are always being developed, that is what makes an Audi an Audi. It is hard enough keeping up to date on media devices, let alone having to worry about integrating them into your vehicle. I hear people say all the time “I am dependent on my cell phone” not realizing the potential of that litttle media device. Here is an updated sheet on AMI (Audi Music Interface) cable conpatabilaty, to help keep you connected.
Picture Description

I added this spreadsheet to help you configure your iPod, iPhone or MP3 device in your Audi. I will continue to showcase original content in order to be your top source for Portland Audi.

Scott, Love the site and the content, as you know… But I have to say… as a consumer, I don’t find this table helpful at all. It’s layout is confusing, the only acronyms/abbreviations I recognize are 2G/3G.

What would really be helpful (to me at least) would be a table showing which cables for which vehicles for which iPod.

For instance on my 2009 A4 with Nav, cable X supports gen a,b, and c iPods and iPhones, and cable Y supports d,e,and f.

I agree… I am new to Audi and have just purchase a 2007 S4, but have no clue what cable works with my ipod. Any help would be great. Where to purchase would be a huge help. Love the site. ~ peter

to make it easy: the black grommet cable only works in the old MMI 2G AMI; the new blue grommet cable works everywhere (in MMI 2G there may be a SW update necessary..)

Hi,
Thank you for your excellent posts and info.
My May 2008 S3 RNS-E is ver 0650 and has the factory installed USB option. Do you think I can change to the new AMI, and what changes are needed?
Thank you
regards,
aki

aki: RNS-E is *NOT* MMI, even though it says so in the startup screen… it is RNS-E. MMI 2G is different.

2007 S4 does not have MMI.

Scott,
This site is awesome! Thanks for sharing your knowledge since it seems hard/impossible to find documentation on AMI. I have a 2008 A4 Cab w/ AMI & Nav. This AMI appears different from the ones you have described on these pages as it is designed so the ipod slips in and connects directly without a cable. It came with a variety of plastic adapters that allow different sizes of ipods to slip in. When I got the car last year, the dealer demonstrated this with my daughters big video ipod without an adapter and it worked well for a year. I use an adapter for my nano. A few weeks ago, I started to develop a problem where I would only get the right hand channel when using my daughters video ipod. If I pushed it into place, it would play full stereo, but if I hit a bump, it would disconnect. The dealer replaced the AMI but then advised against using any ipod without an adapter. I don’t want to break this again, but I’d like to be able to use the video ipod. Could this be done with one of these cables? Is there any documentation about which ipods are supported for use with this kind of AMI?
thnx

hello,i have an audi allroad 09 with mmi 3g and navi,but no music interface on the glove box,what parts do i need to retrofit this in order to connect ipod and usb?thanks ARI

From ARI on November 9th, 2009

ARI,
I am not as familiar with your model, we do not have the 2009 Allroad in the United states. I would have to imagine that you have the AMI in the glove box, look at the top of the inside of the glove box or on the right inner wall and there should be a place to connect your iPod Cable. Send us some pictures of your Allroad we would love to see then.

From Scott Mitchell on November 9th, 2009

So I have a stupid question. I have a 2008 Q7 with AMI. What version of MMI is this? v2? Is v3 2009 and newer? If so, is the L adapter the correct one?

From Mike on March 18th, 2010

I have a 2007 Audi A4. I am looking to add an ipod cable to my stock radio, what do I need in order for this to work?

1. Performance

Every part in the machine counts.

With our vehicles being developed from the ground up around the world famous & award winning Quattro All-wheel drive, it is no wonder we are the leader in performance.

With countless victories and developments in Le Mans, Rally racing, Pikes Peak, and touring car championships, we build the most competitive All-wheel drive cars in the world. If you are looking for that unfair advantage, welcome to Audi, you have found it.

2. Safety

Why die, when you can live?

Brought to you by the company that pioneered safety standards and crash testing almost 100 years ago, with Audi there is no compromise in safety.

Available with technical advancements such as side guard head protection, Side Assist, adaptive headlights, three point safety belts and many other award winning safety systems as well as L.E.D lighting.

3. Design

Everyone wants to look good right?

Bold dynamic lines with moving surfaces, coupe like design and an aggressive stance on the road whether moving or standing still.

Audi has set itself apart from the rest of the industry with driver oriented cockpits and the leader of interior craftsmanship, materials and fit and finish. Keep in mind our extensive use of aluminum, space frame technology and low center of gravity give you that true Audi experience inside and out.

4. Versatility

Sometimes abundance is not enough.

If you want it, Audi has it. And if you have heard of it, it is most likely an option. Audi builds the most versatile cars in the world. Four door sedan or sport back, Coupe or Sport utility vehicle, big or small, front wheel drive or Quattro, gas fuel or diesel - and you still have to pick a color.

We build vehicles that will truly win races and pick up the groceries on the way home. If you let an Audi tell you it's story, it will never disappoint or disconnect you from the experience.

5. Value

Yes, fair value exchange does exist.

Whether you go with a new Audi and get a 4-year 50k mile warranty, or the certified pre-owned Audi with the most comprehensive 300 + point inspection and up to 6 years, 100k miles, you will not only get the best car on the market, you will gain piece of mind!

And really, you can't put a price on that.
