Will this radio allow me to control an iPod from it?

This radio has the extra plug in the back. I didn't see the button for the CD changer, or the AUX button, but will it control the iPod with one of those plugs that plugs into the cd changer plug?

y dont you just buy an aftermarket cd player and then buy the adapter that will also charge your ipod? its like $230 all said and done on a cheap pioneer dash kit harness and ipod adapter.

my radio now doesnt have the extra plug in the back for that to plug into though.....the radio i posted above has the extra plug, but it doesnt have the AUX or CD Changer button on it and i was curious if it the iPod interface would work with it...


i wonder if that will also work with the iPhone (that is really what I am talking about when i say iPod..)

If I can get the pictured radio to work w/ and control my iPod, I'm willing to bet you can get your iPhone to work w/ the radio you initially posted about. ...and it would most likely be a lot easier too.
