Installing Ipod, XM & Bluetooth - best way?

I have an '05 Treg with Navi & 6 CD changer. I don't want to lose my CD changer and understand that I can have an Ipod wire but that I can only change music from my Ipod unit. Want to put the XM unit in the ashtray & have no idea which Bluetooth would be best to get.

Anyone have all 3 of these? Which are the best products you suggest? Pictures would be very helpful - thanks!

For the IPOD and XM, I used Alpine vehicle Hub with an added LCD for my DVD and rear a/v inputs... You'll need the hub and a video adapter for the OEM unit (if you want to use your stock LCD)... For the Bluetooth... I use the Parrot unit and barried the control pad in the dash..I use the phones controls to answer and end the calls, thus I didn't need to mess up the OEM look. I placed the mic to the left of my homelink controls.. here is a link to my alpine install tread... I don't have one for the parrot, but you should be able to find a lot of posts on that one...

The IPOD and XM or Sirius is controled using a small remote...seen here above the mini led lighter light...

A few mods for toureg

I actually moved the Ipod to the center console behind the xm radio, its works well it charges My iphone and plays music well. No wires at all, that you can see.

Good Luck!
