Best bet for auxiliary input (I know it's been asked a thousand times)

Hey guys,

I'm looking at finally installing an auxiliary input for my MP3 player. I know there are multiple options to choose from. I get conflicting opinions everywhere I look.

I'd like one that also includes a 1/8 jack input, for my cell phone (Galaxy S2) that has quite a bit of music on it, as well as one for my iPod.

I'd like one that gives me a read out on the nav screen when using my iPod (I don't think it's possible in other devices).

I have an '06 TL with nav, XM, and in-dash changer. If anyone has opinions, please include model numbers, because I've also seen conflicting model numbers for specific brands... Which makes this SO confusing!

Thanks much in advance, and Merry Christmas!

I'm in the same boat I'm looking into pulling media from my phone and an Ipod so I don't think Isimple is what I want.I know this doesn't help you but maybe the bump will bring in someone who can help.

Naw it's cool. Just saying that the Isimple has been done plenty of times with good results. Seems like the #1 go-to product for this. Plus there are DIY's of how to install it, etc.
