Like will I be able to plug in my iPod directly into the head unit and play music without having to drill a hole or change the head?

I don't believe it is, but don't quote me on that.

Not on the Australian models - the Rockford Fosgate audio system on the MR has an "auxiliary input".

The default head unit is the same as in the Lancer and does not have a direct iPod plug in point.

Its an Auxiliary connection, and if it doesn't have it, I will seriously consider waiting til it does, lol, no lie. My Cobalt has it and it is soo awesome.

I geuss we can always install one ourselves.

I wonder if this will work?
