A $15 cable + free Pandora Radio thru iPhone makes Sirius & iPod adaptor useless...

///M1 · 10-01-2009, 01:31 PM

I'm pretty happy that for S&Gs I bought a Griffin phone jack cable from Best Buy and try Pandora (free internet radio) through my iPhone. I personally like it way better than Sirius (which I have at home and in my other car). Sound quality was amazing, and you don't really need to operate anything through the iPhone. After this 'discovery', there is no way I am purchasing an iPhone adapter, nor the satelite radio.

I am amazed at how good (or rather 'not bad') our stock stereo system sounds - way better than the BOSE premium audio in my RS4 (BOSE = Buy Other Stereo Equipment)

Also, not sure if people realize this, but the iPod adapter with the '09 iDrive is useless too because it comes with a USB port. All you have to do is download all of your music to a thumb drive and upload it into the car via the USB port in the glove box...voila! All your songs at a spin of the iDrive wheel
