I have a Premium 7 Satellite radio /w 6 disc CD changer & factory iPod dock (1K0035180L).

...so I've been reading up on various Dension gateways that give you artist/song title text on your full MFD, I've seen some videos of people doing it. However, it's still unclear to me if I can accomplish what I'm specifically wanting to do. Here's what I'd like to accomplish.

I want the artist & song title from my iPod to show up on MFD--BUT I'd like to keep my factory iPod dock. I like the factory location since it's tucked away nicely in the console. Is there a product that can give me the iPod text while keeping the factory iPod dock location?

In addition to that, I'd like to add a USB input to play MP3s from a flash drive (also with text display).

those are my two main questions. If Bluetooth is added that would be nice, but not required. I've already added a 3.5mm jack by splicing into the satellite receiver audio wires...I may put a bluetooth receiver in-line with the 3.5mm jack to get it that way if I have to.

so--does anyone know if my two questions are possible to accomplish? Thanks.

So, I've noticed there are a lot views but no responses yet. Here's an update:

I just ran across a "newer/updated" version factory VW iPod adapter. looks like they came out with it in 2010(?) to add better functionality & integration with iPods & Premium 7 radios. It gives you the text on the radio display and those with full MFD. part # is 1K0-051-510-A. I'm going to try to mount this connector in the center console like the original, if that isn't feasible I'll put it in the glovebox. These adapters are pricey though--$455??! good thing I found one on ebay in original packaging for $25! :) https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-volkswagen-audi-parts/ipod-wiring-adapter/1k0051510a/

as for the USB, 3.5mm AUX IN & Bluetooth, I'm thinking about doing this:

but using this Dension (bluetooth) gateway instead:
