I’ve ordered a bluebus unit and am waiting. in thr meantime, I went in my trunk and found the necessary connections. There are 2 connectors hidden in the wiring bundle for a CD changer. And, if you are going to add bluetooth phone integration, there is a 54pin port that you’ll also need. If you have the nav system, then there is a silver telematics unit a bit larger than a paperback book. you disconnect the 54 pin cable from this unit and use the bluebus adapter to connect it. The hardest part was getting to the wires. pulling up the carpet by the rear trunk wall is a serious PITA. The actual install should take about 10 minutes, if that. there is a pull tab that pokes through the carpet. I cut 2 horizontal and 2 vertical slits in the carpet to push it through. There are also a number of plastic carpet rivets that are bound to break when you remove them. I bought a bunch of replacements for when the unit is installed and the carpet goes back in place.
