Default iPhone music options

Ok, newbie here and I'm gonna have a lot of questions. LOL I just bought a car from a woman who got the car in a divorce and pretty much knew nothing about what it has and how it works. So now I'm the owner who knows nothing or how it works.
Since it's a 2008 CS Cab it has a PCM that has no aux jack, USB, port etc to hook into my iPhone. What is the best and/or cheapest install to get good quality out of my saved music? The thought of buying a used later model PCM on eBay and then selling mine has crossed my mind, but there's gotta be a better solution.

Tranzit Blu ISFM is best IMO. Around 120 bucks. Then you get Bluetooth streaming and handsfree.

See thread here on rennlist how to install. Search for Tranzit Blu + 997 turbo

Edit: here is the installation thread:

Below is a video I made to show functionality. At that moment I had an Samsung but I now use IPhone 6.

Here is a YouTube clip:

I'll second that. I recently installed the Tranzit Blu and it works well, installation is quite straight forward also - $79 on Amazon.

Ordering now. Was wanting something like this but didn't feel like buying a whole new double din!

Good thing you didn't buy the newest version PCM! It wouldn't have worked without major changes and lots more cash.

I kinda lucked out. Best Buy sells it for $199 with free installation. I showed them the Amazon price of $79 and they matched it. They didn't know how to handle the installation and I argued that it was FREE installation, That if I bought it and decided to install myself it still would have cost me $199. We settled on them doing the install for $25. Car is having a clear bra put on tomorrow so plan on getting the Tranzit Blu installed on Friday.
