My daugher has this head unit and I am pretty sure there are adaptor cables for her ipod. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hmmm, seems like the cheapest option is a new head unit.

Well it's not difficult. Needs a facia adapter and a wiring adapter. The wiring adapter is plug & play. To fit the fascia adapter you need to first remove the down tubes and to do that you have to remove the glove box but it's all simple enough if you have any mechanical know-how.
The stereo I have just uses a standard iPhone USB cable which you can see plugged in at the front of the stereo. I bought a black cable from eBay to make it less obvious.

If I was to do it again I'd get a head unit that could connect to the phone via Bluetooth and could play music & control it without having to plug it in (mine control phone funtions via Bluetooth but not music) but most of those are a fair bit more expensive than this one.
Can you use the steering wheel controls with it?
