With both Audi and Apple’s minimalist design ethos, it was simply a matter of time before they joined forces and offered a way to integrate the new iPhone across the four-ringed lineup. Any Audi model equipped with Bluetooth will allow the iPhone to be paired with the vehicle, giving users the ability to make and receive hands-free phone calls, as well as providing a signal strength indicator, assigning specific names to numbers (Work, Home, etc.) and allowing access to call lists.
On the music front, the addition of the Audi Music Interface will give the vehicles MMI system direct control of all the iPod capabilities of the iPhone, allowing users to navigate everything from playlists to albums. The AMI is available as an optional extra on the A5, A6, A8 and Q7, although we’d expect the full line of Audi vehicles to allow integration sooner rather than later.

Meant to be maybe, but Audi’s Bluetooth implementation DOES NOT work with current iPhone G3 models - and their ‘customer care’ people are amazingly unhelpful about providing any news about when the system might be fixed. Defensive, almost paranoid, in fact.

Looks like that is the next step forward for all cars, Ipod connectivity is essential if you ask me. I ended up paying like 150 quid to get a proper box fitted in my car to allow me to play my ipod through the car music system (having said that it was worth it - absolutely awesome!!), so in todays modern world Ipods are the next must have features.
