IIRC there is nothing available. You cant even add DAB but i think in the states there was something that would add Sirius so maybe worth checking out as it could be a route to add an auxiliary input as i think the NAS spec SC was slightly diff from the UK spec where you got RSE and rear inputs as standard.

Fudge! So my next best option is that AUX in jack on the back on the center console? |

Is there any reason why you couldn't move the Nav screen in to the glovebox? that way everything would stay working but you could fit the Android head in the dash.

Well, I ended up getting a 2010 SC instead. Can I install an aftermarket head unit on this generation/refresh? |

I wouldn't, I have a 2010 SC as well and am very happy with the infotainment on it. Even the Sat Nav is working well MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!

^^ The speaker wires in the boot isn't just a MOST system thing, my 2003 Vogue has the speaker wires in the boot, along with the radio tuner, the DSP amp, TV tuner, and NAV head

Well, I have an Android phone and use mainly streaming music services like Spotify, Pandora so the iPhone/iPod and USB ports won't help me. I'll just go with my plan B - bluetooth receiver connected to AUX in (I know, it'll be unsightly). Maybe use a low profile, right angle, flat 3.5mm cable so the jack's door can close and a bluetooth media button on the steering wheel (or by the vents) so the phone can be stowed.

I use a Griffin Bluetrip with a low profile short 3.5 into my Aux , it's pretty neat but you can't quite shut the door I'm afraid .Works well though and I control it through my watch and the phone in my pocket so PoPo don't get busy with me . 2008 MY Supercharged

Hmmm... isn't there a Bluetooth add-on/module I can install for native/built-in control/support or is that only the pre-2009 MY? |

I'm afraid not , bluetooth didn't really exist when the L322's electronics were developed .

Oh, I see. So how does the phone feature work in my car? There's pick up, hang up and and speak command buttons on the steering wheel and the head unit lists phone in the mobile screen. If it's not Bluetooth, then what is it for? |

^^ It is Bluetooth, BUT, it is not Bluetooth stereo, it is just Bluetooth phone. Yes it mutes the stereo and uses the speakers in the door for the call, but it is not stereo. The Bluetooth module is a separate unit, and as such is not part of the stereo merely connected to it. So there is no way to stream a stereo signal through the system

You can get bluetooth aux adapters which look like they plug into the aux input, but have a bluetooth receiver to accept the audio from any other bluetooth device. A quick google finds them from £5 upwards. V8 or else ... |
