Question 2003 Harman Kardon Navigation Stereo questions

Greetings!

I recently purchased my first Land Rover(a 2003 Discovery 2 SE), and had some questions about factory stereos...

From what I can tell, most from this year seem to have a Harman Kardon/Alpine deck with CD changer. My vehicle has a navigation model, which is a little less flexible for input options. I've seen the GROM unit mentioned, but it's not clear to me if it would work with my navigation model.

Are there any recommended methods for adding an aux input or iPod/iPhone connection to the "navigation and CD head with CD changer under the seat" setup? While it's a neat piece of hardware, nearly all of my content is in my iPhone at this point(and the phone is my primary navigation aid as well). Is there a harness addition that can replace the CD Changer, and still allow me to use my wheel transport controls?

Failing that, does anyone have any recommendations for a head unit that would be compatible with the existing speaker configuration(appear to be mids low on the door, with high range tweeters about halfway up the side)?

That HU is a rebadged Becker Traffic-Pro. Contact Becker USA (Becker Auto Sound) for the iPod or AUX in, they have both. No track info displays on the screen though.

I have an 04 with nav. Is it a becker as well? Can't get my cd changer to play, will only play the single cd in the dash deck.

Yes, '04 is also the same unit. CD changers are not the same as regular DII changers so a replacement must be from a sat-nav vehicle.

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking to find out!
