Theres a german site that makes a bluetooth connector that plugs into the phone jack in the center console.. It was like 250 bux or something though, but it would make a newer cellphone act like an hold car phone so it would use the stock head unit. I cant find the site now maybe someone will know what im talking about.

Otherwise i think they make FM transmitter ones too.

I bought the non Bluetooth version of this for my car right before it came out. I am gonna get the new one soon I hope. It does work good too.

the xcarlink you installed, does in plug into the back of the head unit. Or does it connect to the cd changer in the trunk.

It plugs into the CD changer plug in the back of the head unit. Mine didn't have a changer cable in the trunk. I have the xcarlink in my glove box, and ran a plug to the armrest to plug in my phone to listen to music. If you don't use CDs and listen to all digital stuff, there is a new head unit from Clarion I think that only has an SD card slot and an aux input in the back plus Bluetooth for $115 bucks at Crutchfield. It doesn't have a CD player thought. You can change the color of the back lighting to match your car, and I looks like it could flow with the stock interior.
