I didn't see this posted elsewhere so I figured it could be helpful especially to people planning on buying a 2012. My salesman told me that he would "try" to throw in the ipod cable. Before buying my 2012, I was looking at a 2011. I noticed right away the difference in connector style between the two years. The 2011 has what looked like a 30pin type while the 2012 is the standard usb connection just like you'd find on your computer. When I got home, I took the cable that my ipod came with, plugged it into the truck and it works just as it should. Full control on my nav screen and it charges the ipod just fine.
The reason I point this out is that the dealer normally sells this cable for $80 bucks. Don't get taken! Either use the one that came with your ipod or buy one online for far, far less. Like $5 to $18 depending on where you buy. I haven't looked into if you can buy the 2011 cord just as cheap but I wouldn't be surprised.
I hope this helps some of you!
