Hi dude,
I did precisely that, added a Connects2 ipod adaptor to the standard Clarion PU2294 headunit because I wanted to keep the OEM integration.
However.
It's not without it's problems, and it's a PITA to use. It runs on permanent live (getting its' feed from the stereo) so it can constantly charge your iPod / iPhone, however the problem comes when trying to play back music. You have to press "play" on your iPod and symultaneously (and very quickly) press the CD changer button on the Headunit for it to work. Not funny!
It becomes a bit of a chore to get it going and is very hard when you're in motion!
The adaptor I had in my Focus (also made by Connects2) worked much better.
The 306 Stereo keeps giving errors like 'NO MAGA' ie. it can't find the CD changer magazine.
I returned mine eventually because it gave up working. I ended up buying a Connects2 aux-in adaptor instead, so I've lost the ability to skip tracks and it won't charge my ipod, but a stealth 12V usb connection in the car works just as well.
It also has had none of the same problems the iPod interface did.
Mine was £28 from Dynamic Sounds.
