Have you got a head unit in there now?
If so then forget the replacement head unit just fit a Parrot MKi9200
Charges iPod, has track names on screen, is a handsfree kit and plays directly via car speakers, not by an FM modulator first like some do.
Have one attached to my NCDC 2015 and works fine and only took a couple of hours to fit. So same cost and effort as fitting new head unit
I can vouch for this, I have one fitted in my elite and it works great, there is a good length to the cable that connects to the iPod so you should be able to get it to the centre armrest ok (also has a usb and jack connection)
Its not too bad to fit either (even with the lack of space behind the dash) basically take the plug out the back of the head unit and plug them in the wiring that is supplied with the kit then the plugs from that go back to the headunit.
It means the parrot kit can use the car speakers when you want to play the iPod and make / take calls.
The remote is wireless as well and comes with a steering wheel mount (although I found it got in the way and mounted it next to the satnav control)
