Default AUX input for Concert stereo

im trying to find an adapter to make a AUX input or iphod integration to go with my iPhone 3G. i know very little about stereo crap other than i have an Concert stereo in my '06 A3...
i have sirius satellite, but im getting rid of the thing (if someone wants to buy it, works fine, best offer) and i dont care about charing or anything, i just want good sound quality


after research i found a "Dice iPod i-AUDI-R Integration Kit" and asked the guy if it was compatible with the plain old Concert stereo, not Concert II or Symphony... he replied,


"It may take a VW-R kit as it has a SAT radio button. Is the stereo double din? Dice says the Audi double din stereos with sat button uses the VW-R and displays text..."


I have no idea what double din is or what he is saying, can someone please shed some light on this for me, or if you have any input on what i should get to make this possible

Default Since you have an '06 model, it's prewired for the glovebox CD changer.

You can use the adapter at the link below to plug into the CD changer cable for both iPod and AUX connections:<ul><li><a href="http://enfigcarstereo.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/DICE_I_AUDI_T2.html">http://enfigcarstereo.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/DICE_I_AUDI_T2.html</a</li></ul>

Default I've got one for sale

I bought it used from a forum member, not knowing that my '07 was not pre-wired to the glove box

retails for $150, I'll sell it for $75 + shipping if you're interested. Email me if so :P

It's been a while but I believe the plug looks like the right one.

Default If tozog has a 3G iPhone, I don't think that adapter will charge it.

I have the factory iPod adapter but it won't charge my 3G iPhone. Many 3rd party chargers that used to work with the 1st gen iPhone don't work with the 3G. Just as a PSA, ask the vendor if their solution is FULLY compatible with a 3G iPhone and make sure you can return it if it isn't.

Default BE CAREFUL!

I have the DICE (see sig) and it definitely, positively will NOT charge an iPhone (2G or 3G). Worse, it could damage the phone because it may supply Firewire charging voltage (12v) to the dock connector and the phone calls for USB charging (5v).

I plugged my iPhone into my DICE and it got abnormally hot. Luckily I noticed and unplugged it before frying anything.

There are adapters available to enable older cables to charge newer iPods/iPhones correctly.

First, thanks for all the help and input.

I'm not concerned with charging the iphone cause I have a car charged if it's needed. But if I did want to do that mike you mentioned a seperate adapter for the iPhone. Is it an adapter that plugs into the dice module in the same place the current one plugs into?
