Default I-pod holder ?

I tend to listen to my old I-pod a lot , I use a belkin transmitter , had it for years ,always found a handy place for it , but in the 8 it lives in the central cup holder , not ideal , so does anyone have a better site for it , or a holder that makes it easier to use ?
D3 3.0 tdi btw
I realise that a plug in HD will be the answer , one that can be accessed by the MMI , but I'm not that tech savvy
However i can CNC you just about anything and weld it to somthing else , so there's hope

Mike

Do you have AMI? if so a 128GB USB 3.0 thumb drive does the job well and holds all the MP3's you could ever need

AMI is the unit that sits in one of the slots in the top of your glovebox. It's usually next to your CD changer.

It looks like a blank, black stereo with half the face taken up by a removable tray. The idea is that you purchase (at extortionate rates from Audi) a cable to connect your device of choice to the unit and then put your device in the removable tray. It's perfectly sized for an iPod.

If you don't have one, they're usually available on eBay.

Nope , just a big space where it should be , so what's my other options , is there a simple aux socket than can be added ?
Or is it gateway or similar install ?

I can't comment on how to connect it, but as far as holders go, Brodit come highly recommended

Their system comprises two parts - a clip to fit the car, and a holder to fit the device. Match the two together and you have a perfect mounting system
