Picked up a 2010 Grand Touring

I picked up a 2010 Grand Touring yesterday, 47k miles.

It has everything except navigation, which I didn't want anyway. It does have the DVD player in the back, but I haven't verified that it works.

What is the best way to hook up an iPod? Does anyone use this iSimple adapter? Or, should I just try to use the factory bluetooth?

Today I ordered a plaid Canvasback protector and a Curt trailer hitch for carrying my bike rack. My next mod will be a shift knob like on the 2013 Mazda5 and CX-5. I will need tires before winter, maybe I'll pick up some new wheels at that time.

Here's a picture of the bike rack. I like that the Mazda5's tail lights will not be covered up like on our other cars:

I don't believe the '10 bluetooth has streaming functionality. It's just for the phone.

There is an iPod adapter from Mazda that you can look into. Other than that, I have no idea what to use. I just plug ours into the AUX port because I prefer controlling it through the device.
