The AUX is usually in the glove box.. take a look inside. The plugs at the back of the center console can be used to connect a small DVD player or iPod with video capability. You have to use the "correct" connectors.

As for the Intravee, you will not drill anything. Here is how it works:

All are small items and can be installed in the same place of the CD changer and NAV computer.

4. You control the iPod from the front screen. The menu looks like this:
