Mobridge ipod and bluetooth installed for $1200 in N VA. They have to tap into the CD changer and yes once they do that it is no longer useable. One thing they dont tell you is that you have to go to the dealer after and have them program the CD Changer out of the PCM so you dont get an error message. If you tie it in with a normal service it is free, otherwise they charge you $60.

Okay, which of the systems offers the most i-pod control? My Pioneer Avic D3 was great with full control of the i-pod when using the interface cable. Does either the MoBridge or NavTV kits offer similar control?

I tried to get the Mobridge IPOD and Bluetooth.
I was told it could be done on my 2004 Cayenne S, but it turns out that my car didn't have the phone dialer feature (option not available at the time) so although I would be able to hear and answer calls, the caller would not be able to hear me (what is the point)
, so I settled for just the IPOD. I think the dealership charged about $1,000 for just the IPOD and would have charged $1,500 for both.
The IPOD is taking some time to get used to. It likes to go immediately to the 1st song of the full library and so when I try to go to my play list, it takes about 5 to 10 seconds before the play list gets started, which can be annoying. Also, when I return to my car, it starts over from the top instead of continuing where it left off. The bright side is that the sound quality is very good. I just wish I had more patience to have researched it more to include the Bluetooth, which I have to now find as a separate solution. Any recommendations?
