NOT exactly what you are looking for

I have a 2014 Audi A5 and from day one I had no problems connecting a 4th gen iPod to the audio system using a standard AMI 30 pin cable. However my ipod recently died for some reason and i have decided to use my other latest generation ipod which uses a lightning contact. Since the AMI to Lightning cable (12-pin) is very hard to find and apparently all 30-pin Lightning adapters don't allow you to view your music library and controls, I finally decided to try this product since it clearly indicates the ability to watch music. Library and music sorting control via car interface and steering wheel/mouse. Unfortunately, this device does not offer that. After a bit of research, I found that without more information from the manufacturer, not all AMIs are supported by this device. This unit is having trouble streaming sound from your iPod to the car speakers as most of the time I get an error saying the system cannot recognize the connected device and when it connects it just plays music with a blank screen. I have decided to buy another used 4th gen iPod for the same price and it will work just fine. Unfortunately, the $80 I paid for this device was flushed down the toilet as a refund would not have been possible in my particular situation. Stay away as this thing isn't strong enough if you can't risk returning it.

Pros
  • Best in class
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
