I have a 07 Audi A4 Avant. How can i run my ipod through the stereo?

Question

The car did not come with the ipod adapter. I assume I will have to go to a car audio shop?

chris,

  actualy there are several options you can try with out purchasing a whole new stereo. first and probobly the easiest, is get the fm adapter for the ipod. what this does is plays the ipod over a fm freq that your car stereo will pick up and play. the next option is to gte a "pre out" cable. most car stereos have an input and output for preouts to an amp, just get the cable and plug it into the input side and your in business (the plus part of this is that it is the same cable that will let you run your ipod to the tv or home stereo). with out seeing the stereo it is hard for me to tell you all the options, but with the whole ipod craze there are many options and accessories to do just about anything. if you do go with a new stereo though, most of them come with ipod conectors alread and some (in the $400 and up range) can play video of your ipod as well. a big thing i learned a long time ago when i started installing stereos was"you get what you pay for" so if you want the job done right and you want the best possible outcome than yes you do want to go to a stereo shop, if you are on a budget and are looking for a good salution than i recomend the fm converter. hope this helps.
