2005 DB9 audio

First post here! I'm considering a used 2005 DB9 locally which has the 950W Linn audio system. I've heard it's complete rubbish so I'm looking into what problems it presents. Personally I can live with sub-par audio (when I'm driving I just like the audio there as background noise rather than a defining feature of the drive) but the particular one I'm looking at doesn't have any aux inputs or bluetooth connectivity, so the only way to currently get audio out of my phone is to use an FM transmitter, which is obviously not going to be particularly good.

Does anyone have any experience with installing something like the Dension unit on one of these models? Is it possible? Is there anything I should be aware of before doing so?

Long-term I'd also be looking at considering installing a backup camera as well. Does anyone know if that's possible with this system?

Thanks!

Don't know the answer to that question but I had the 950w Linn JUNK and had it removed like the cancer that it is. Left the head unit and had a reputable shop install lots of quality components to the tune of $7000. Sounds comparable to the Bose system and will make your ears bleed. The FM RECEPTION still SUCKS though unless you are parked in the parking lot of the radio station. Don't know how to improve that. Added satellite radio in the ashtray area and added inputs for cellphone Pandora. That's about all I know.....
