Okay, don't kill the messenger but.....
I just got back from my dealership and I was talking to the Part/Accessories guy. He's been there for a while and seems to know his stuff. I was talking to him about getting the dealer install iPod option and he said to wait! I said I know I'd rather have the USB port but my car didn't come with it. He said that he knew some people were working on a retro-fit option for the older cars and thought that it would be out in the next few month!
Now I have absolutely NO reason to believe him especially with all I have read here but maybe.... Let's all bend down and
