Not stock. You can always add an iPod/iPhone or Auxiliary input module.

Ive been reading a lotta members like Vaistech VML (no video playback).

Im just wondering how hard is installation...im scared of messing up when it comes to electrical wires...(well besides the hid fog light kit i installed)

Im tired of using this annoying ipod tape deck connection

Does your 2006 allow you to play mp3 CD's ? I know in my 2007 , I make mp3 CD's with like 8 Albums on each CD and I can browse each folder through my stock unit...

^ReyRey, that's what I'm trying to do. I can't have CD's with only 80 minutes of audio.
