Not one of these specifically ....they've come on a bit recently - in the past, the best you could hope for was an Aux input
I've fit Connects2 boxes before - biggest issue you'll have is finding somewhere for the box (hopefully it'll slide down the glovebox side of the centre console ok if the loom's long enough, and you'll be able to poke the iPod cable down behind without having to take the glovebox out)
There are a number of guides on here if you get stuck - search box in the top, right corner of the page - but you can remove the radio using a couple of strips of old credit-card/broken hacksaw blade/radio removal tools in those two slots at the botom....jostle it around a bit till you can grip the edges (it's so much easier with a tape player cos you can just poke your fingers in the cassette slot!) and pull it out.
The blue plug that comes with the Connects2 box goes in the back. Feed your wires somewhere sensible* and push the radio back into place till it clicks.
* some Connects2 boxes have a procedure to follow with regard to what order to connect things and when to power them up, so follow the instructions carefully

I have mine going to glove box I didnt fit it- **** that i think i paid about £50 for someone to install the headunit and do the lead.
Had a Connects2 box in mine before I upgraded, with an Auxiliary lead, fitted it myself without any real issues, only problem I had was not having the cables I needed, and forgetting to put the earth cable somewhere! To clarify, the cable I was missing was the loom for the cd changer - this is what the box plugs into, fools the headunit into thinking it's the cd changer.
It fits behind the climate unit - just. I found the lead moved the headunit slightly so the drinks holder didn't pop out properly, didn't really bother me much. I just fed the cable down the centre console so it came out underneath the ash tray (there was a hole for the lighter wire, fed the cable through that). You'll need to drill a hole to the glovebox if you want the cable in there.
