iPhone to USB input in the car...

Hello,

It seems many car makers are dropping the Aux In on their latest models (for e.g. BMWs/Minis), which renders an external DAC pretty much useless. 

In my current Mini with an HK system, I was never happy with the sound quality going through the USB port or via BT - using an external DAC and going through the Aux In port made a considerable difference...

So for those with newer cars that only have USB (and Bluetooth), are you happy with the sound? Is there anything we can do to improve the SQ (cables, etc)?

thanks!

I have an HK system and think the SD Card or USB with 320 VBR MP3 sounds as good as the system speakers & amps are going to do.

If you want better you are probably going to have to put a whole system in.
