Check the sticky in the audio/electronics section. Lots of info on getting auxillary audio into the bose HU

There is a factory option for the sat radio. Not sure about the iphone but as BigJohn said, there is lots of info here.

I bought one of these and put it in; it connects my iPod to the stereo, and has an optional Bluetooth kit that I also bought that works well. I am having an issue where the "playlist" mode they mention doesn't work all the time, and I have to turn the stereo volume up for a phone call (I can't hear the caller otherwise), but it works well enough for me.

Total installation time if I did it all at once would have been an hour; I put the iPod part in first and then ran the Bluetooth when I had time later. Taking the stereo out is really easy, then you just have to run the cables where you want them to go and test it out. If you get this and want advice just let me know.

This works great with an iPod, but will not charge your iPhone while in use. Also, whereas my fiance's iPhone works great (btw, Pandora radio is by far the best iPhone ap I've found), when mine is connected it continuously cuts out and interupts the music to remind me that it is not made to support the iPhone. It must be something with the settings on our individual phones. Check out the GROM audio device. I think it does everything this one does and it charges the iPhone, if I'm not mistaken.
