Default check the website... probably 2008 in US. On a different note... iPod or Zune... what do you think?

I need an mp3 player I think... not for the car, but in general...<ul><li><a href="http://www.volkswagen.de">http://www.volkswagen.de</a</li></ul>

Default I went crazy trying to use IPOD/ ITRIP in my A4 what a useless device

Instead I bought an in-car FM PLL ($30) that has antenna I/O (needs adaptors to VW I/O for Audi) ran a switched 12v/Gnd and connected the RCA inputs with a minijack cable. It took me a while to get a perfect FM signal but now its perfect all the time at 88.7.

Works awesome.

This listing isnt the exact unit I purchased but will give you an idea.

Default I like Zune's design better, but the file format and related issues DRM stuff scares me.

On the other hand iPod is quite expensive. +$300. Maybe I should just get the nano and be done with it... :|

Default you'll fill it fast! my first ipod>

a gen 1 like 10gb that i paid $500 for i figured was great.

i bought a 30 gb black one over a year ago (at the time never thought i would be close to filling it)

and now... i only have about 5 gbs left

you'll fill it faster then you'd think

Default Yep, it's very likely. I need to go play with each of them a bit to see which one I like best. Then

if I still happen to have the money for it, (Yes, I might end up spending it on my car.) I'll probably get one.

Default

It's clean though. So keep in mind that I am judging it by the looks only. Thanks for the insight.
