2008 Enthusiast w/o Bose iPod Integration questions
Hey guys, I recently bought a 2008 enthusiast Z and it doesn't have the Bose 6CD changer, just the standard single in-dash CD. I'm currently looking into getting ipod integration and...
I really want to be able to:
-control iPod through steering wheel
-HAVE the shuffle feature
-charge the iPod while it's being used
-digital connection (no Aux solutions (and I don't have a tape deck))
Are there any ipod connections that'll work with my factory radio or am I looking at getting a new HU to get the features that I want? I'd really like to be able to see Artist/Song info on the display but I know that probably defaults me to a new head unit.
Anyway I was just wondering what you guys recommend as far as ipod integration goes. If I do end up getting a new head unit do I need to redo the speakers and system or can I leave those stock (for now at least). My only problem with HU's is they're either 1) really expensive or 2) really crappy looking but I'm interested in any suggestions you guys have.
Thanks for the help guys.

I would get a new head unit.
Cheap route, Not so good quality = http://www.icarkits.com/advanced_sea...icle=1&sort=4d
Good route (my route) http://www.kenwoodusa.com/Car_Entert.../Mobile_Video/
New heat unit looks hot depending on which one you get. Also headunits come with navi, plus play dvds
