adding ipod interface

Hi, I have a 2010 sedan without NAV. Is it possible to wire in the iPod connect port to my headunit? I just have the rca's and its getting dangerous just to change tracks. Since my screen isn't touchscreen is it possible to select music through steering wheel/radio control dial...... pending that the above works.

I have a 2009 without NAV and it has the iPod wire right above the RCAs. Why wouldn't yours? I can change songs with my steering wheel controls. I thought this was standard equipment?

from what ive found online, most dealers wont install the interface alone, they require the $3k tech package.(if you rbuying new of course). there was a guy who had a shop install just the interface, true interface, and was able to control the ipod through steering wheel control.

I have the same as you, but my interface will not work. It shows Ipod connected but no songs show up. Maybe the cord or Ipod? I have a 5th gen ipod video.

Decisions...decisions...

Should I invest in some form of interface to install on my non nav 2010? and hope it works..

or should i just yank the screen, remount it somewhere else(extend the harness), and slap an ipad mini in the hole i just made?

I would look into keeping it stock as possible. There has to be something thatll do the trick. Maybe call a stereo shop and pick their brains, and then go find it somewhere cheaper.

Maybe this? http://www.crutchfield.com/p_581PA15...7091705&awdv=c
