Update on the visit to the dealer:
As expected no possibility for an Ipod cable with the Nav combination. Dealer apologizes but I am disappointed, it really would be much better than using the AUX plug in the front.
Updated U connect and pairs now with my Blackberry, but address book sync is not possible with a Blackberry.
Other minor things were fixed easily.
Did drive with a Chrysler Sebring for a few days but happy to have my DJ back!
