CDR23 Bose system OEM radio

Help! Is there anyway I can hook up my iphone to the CDR23 radio in the least expensive way? I only have the radio hooked up and not a cd changer. Thanks guys!

Least expensive way I know is to pull your radio and send it to Becker Autosound in New Jersey. For $100 they will hard wire an aux into your radio.

I know these work with the earlier CDR-220 head units, do they also work with the CDR-23? My understanding is that they did not..

Q.) What won’t the iWireP-220 work with?

A.) The iWireP-220 connects to the CR/CDR-220 head units through the C3 AUX port. Other factory head units may also appear to have this port, but they are not properly wired to support our cable. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE OUR PRODUCT WITH A DIFFERENT FACTORY HEAD UNIT!

Kind of a related question - anyone know of the cheapest way to add bluetooth connectivity to the factory radio? Doesn't have to be A2DP, just phone would be good enough.

Check out Pioneer's "app radio". Got mine for $299. Connects directly to the speaker connecters without clipping wires. Which means you use the Bose amp. Find the power wires and ground (I.D.'d on the stock head unit) as well as the steering wheel controls, if you have them, a slight modification radio housing and bezels. Done. You get bluetooth connectivity, Sirius radio, talking maps, contacts etc etc. You get all the things your mobile phone has on a nice 7" screen. Mine works flawlessly...

Thanks in advance.

Is there a shop in SO.Cal that can perform the same installation as Becker in NJ? I would think so. Thanks
