Thanks Steve and Richard, yes it was the aux connection I was thinking of using- MMI, FLAC etc are wasted on me although I could de-coke an engine if necessary. I used to like gadgets, now haven't got the patience. At least the DAB radio rarely cuts out, unlike my previous Audi, where it was unusable. I've got personal players for CDs (and tapes! shock horror) so I'll find some of my old cables and give them a try.
