Any mention if it can be retrofitted to pre LCI cars?
It cannot be done....It can't even be done on an 08 if the car is not ordered from the factory. It must be ordered from the factory otherwise you must get the iPod input cable.

There is a lot of conversation about USB on the board. After having this now for over a week I can report back that the functionality is excellent however the positioning of the port is c*ap. Due to the slide cover they have put over the port and the fact that it is on the inner front side of the cubby under the phone cradle, inserting anything into the connector is a 'feel your way' exercise - once your hand is in the cubby with a device you can only feel the port, you can't see it!!!

A word of caution though, it doesn't appear to like decompressed formats such as AAC - I have tried a few 320kbps MP3's (maximum quality of a standard MP3) and they sound CD quality to the untrained ear. One side benefit is that you don't need to have a data / mp3 disc in the single slot in the dash and therefore you don't have to listen to the disc spinning between tracks!!!!

thank you, is the interface the same as the ipod interface...?
Some one who is far more technically aware will correct my poor explanation (and also validate its accuracy!!)
