OK, I'm going to have to do a total rewind/rethink on this!
Having inspected and scanned my son's 2006 B7 S4 today I find (unknown to him!) it has been specced with almost every available option, so:
1. It has a TV tuner, looks like an old Analogue-only one (4D0 919 146D)
2. It has Bose (he did know that)
3. It has an RNS-E (was that standard on S4?)
4. Telephone Prep with "comfort facility", whatever that means!
5. CD-changer, in the glovebox but no iPod/USB interface as far as I can see.
6. MFSW with paddles.
He doesn't actually use the CD changer, so that could easily be removed or at least disconnected.
He didn't even know he had a TV tuner.
He doesn't use the in-car phone kit, though there is still some sort of bracket on the front passenger side.
Edit: Discovered that the phone kit includes Bluetooth and it does pair to and work with the latest iPhones for calls. No idea if this can be subverted for music though.
All he really wants is to play music from his iPhone ( a new one with lightning connector) and ideally charge it through the connection if it has to be wired. Bluetooth would be equally good.
So what are the actual pragmatic (and not too expensive) options for music from the phone?
And can the TV tuner be swapped to a compatible hybrid (i.e. Freeview) model, and where is it located?
