The good news starting 2016 MY A4 and other models use regular USB connection, which they should have done really long time ago. I chose a longer route because I wanted to emphasize the Audi's poor decision not to include the new cable. Pardon me for such a lengthy response as I could have said just call AOA and complain and that will get a new cable you need. AOA called my Audi dealer and must have instructed them to give me one for free. Then she came back and said please go to your dealer's parts department and pick up the cable that you are requesting. She said "can I put you on hold for a sec?.

Besides that, has anyone used the lightning adapter on their Audi accessory 30 pin cable and does it play music and display on the screen? Is the sound junk or OK? I can't see paying another $130 bucks off the audi accessory site for a lightning cord vs. ![]() I still can't believe Audi ships a 2016 model year car with a 30 pin apple connector.
