Tape deck iphone adapter? Nav?

Alright. I need to play MP3'S in this 06 TL. I am sick of cds.

If I get a tape deck adapter, and use it on my iphone will the steering wheel controls still work?

Also, does anyone know where I can pick up a cheap oem NAV system for my TL?

a tape deck adapter only plays through the wire connected to your iphone it doesnt connect to your whole car. you can still cahnge the volume but you cant change songs unless you directly change it from your iphone.

Why the heck would you want to play an MP3 when you can listen to the same stuff in far higher quality on a CD?

The number of songs a CD holds depends on the length of each track. In theory, a CD can hold up to 99 tracks, although the most I'm aware of on any commercially-released album is 25 (not counting a Dave Matthews album and a They Might Be Giants album that each had a bunch of super-short tracks that padded out the total number).

Still, though....MP3? Why just not listen to AM radio? You'll get about the same sound quality.
