You will more than likely require a Radio and MDI kit upgrade. To fix Ipod issue.

As for adding the sub to the mix.

You can use two of the following methods.

Just amplifier by itself

Or this unit and you can power the front speakers and sub via a single/multiple amp.

Both units have a auto sensing in the sound, so remote wire will not be required. But the connect to and from the Speaker cables still need to be installed.

Then go from there for sub duty or amp and sub duty.
