Don't know about that radio, but for my '05 there was no way to do it without going to either an FM modulator or Bluetooth. Consensus was that FM is lower fidelity than Bluetooth, so I went with Bluetooth for my iPhone. Would have been cheaper to put in a new radio with USB and aux inputs, but I did not want to give up the factory radio. No nav on mine.

I can use aux input for smart phone, and iPod connection for iPhone , iPad , and it charges them

I just found these guys yesterday. They sell remanufactured factory radios for various makes, and they have my radio in stock with an added 3.5mm aux jack for iPhone/iPad, etc. $265 shipped for mine, and if you want BlueTooth they can add that to the factory radio. Remans come with a 90-day warranty. The good thing about the aux input jack is that it is hardwired into the preamp section of the radio, so you don't have the limitations of an FM mudulator and don't have to screw with BlueTooth. Just plug the iPhone in and go. I will probably order one of their units because my 6-disk in-dash changer just crapped out again and I can't find any aftermarket units that I like.

Have you looked at the RB1 Nav radios at this site?

I know they cost a little more, well ok, lots more, but it's a big upgrade with NAV and you can ask for the built-in iPod integration, as well as others. They match by VIN and have DCx accessories and part#s listed.
