I think I'll just go with the aux input for 150 and hook up my 32 gb iphone ... BTW when hooking up the iphone will it show the folders and names of the song?

If you are hooking up the iPhone thru plain aux, it will NOT show any folders and names, since it's just an audio connection. You will need an iPod integration, which I believe runs $400. It's cheaper to have the programming done to play mp3 CDs

They are wrong about the software. The first version of the service bulletin I posted (from January 2006) only allowed the software to be updated for cars produced between 3/2005 and 9/29/2005. A later version of the bulletin (from March 2006) allowed the software to be updated from start of production (SOP) to 9/29/2005. The latest version (posted above) from July 2009, still includes from SOP to 9/29/2005 but outlines a different procedure on how to fix the problem.

Besides the point, a dealer who could swap out the system for $304 let alone add the AUX port on top of that must be talking out of their back side ; 
Like Rudy said, you'd be better off at some other dealer.

Reprogramming the system by following the bulletin may be less money...

I don't think the $304 includes swapping out the system, I think it only includes installation of the AUX port in the glovebox.
