I had asked about options for hooking up an Ipod to my new A3 (factory
option negated by my Nav system). Someone suggested Phatnoise.
According to its Website, it is available only from Volvo.

So, my questions are: Does the Phatnoise Ipod adaptor integrate with an
A3? If so, do I take my car to the Volvo dealership, or just buy one at
Volvo and have it installed by a 3rd party?

Thanks for any help with this.

I wouldn't expect the Volvo Ipod adapter to work on an Audi.

I suspect that what was being suggested was the Phatnoise PhatBox
product - this is a CD changer replacement which plays MP3 (and some
other formats) from a removable disk cartridge. The PhatBox is
available from Audi dealers. I have been using one for almost three
years, and wouldn't want to be without it.

Thanks for the clarification. I guess I'll have to keep on looking.
