AUX Port or Aftermarket head unit - 05 Limited (JBL)

Hey guys, first post here & brand new owner of a 05 Limited (JBL).

Looking to either replace the factory stereo or put in some type of after market AUX port so I can play my own music. As you all know, the 05s don't have an AUX port or bluetooth. With the JBL system making the replacement of the factory stereo with aftermarket head unit a little more expensive and complicated. What do you all recommend I should do? Again only looking for an iPhone hookup so I can play my own music. Not focused on bluetooth phone calls or anything like that.

 

My 4Runner doesn't have the JBL system so I cannot speak for the connections and wiring. I just searched units that had the options and features I wanted for the price I was willing to pay and ordered the installation kit to install it. It's really easy and I was done with the stereo and front speakers in less than 3 hours.
