Many thanks

Sorry I haven't logged in to look at this thread for a while so I will try and answer a few questions at once:

The sound quality is excellent. 9.5/10 compared to the AMI but not as good as a CD. Equivalent to Bluetooth streaming to your home cinema.

I have the AMI but I prefer not to use the Bluetooth streaming all the time and prefer to have an ipod plugged in all the time instead. So I wanted both. This means I went for the Fusion BT-100.

Anything connected to RCA cables in the car will NOT be able to be controlled by the MMI. You would need an AMI unit for that. Since the cost of this little receiver is tiny, I wouldn't expect MMI control anyway. Happily, both the Audi phone and Fusion BT connect simultaneously and do not interfere when music is playing or a phone call is on. The phone Siri can control the music so no need for the mmi control.

To fit this unit you will need:

An Analogue or digital TV module, which has inputs for the RCA. Since specs are all over the place in different countries, you need to check your car to find out if you have the TV module and then buy and fit the Kufatec RCA cables.

When the AV1 is selected the music comes through. The screen goes blank as I have nothing plugged into the video cable. I could easily fit something but I can't be bothered. I usually change it back to the CAR page on the MMI or NAV. The music plays as normal still.
