I've checked the Crutchfield site:
...The DEH-P7000BT is compatible with the following iPod models:
- iPod video (5th generation)
- iPod classic (80/120/160GB)
- iPod nano (1st/2nd/3rd/4th generation)
- iPod touch (1st/2nd generation)
- iPhone/iPhone 3G
e:The Apple folks seem to be getting along with the 7000BT and the iPhone:

I will take your advice and see if I can find one at Best Buy and hook the two together.
