I believe the trunk of the 2009 is larger by a couple cubic feet.
And yeah, I think the USB connection and BT Audio came in 2010 when they also upgraded the navigation to GEN 6.

Was it in 2009 when the aux button was added so you can have XM and iPod?

If you are talking about the radio buttons, the '08 has a DISC/AUX button as well as a seperate SAT/AM button.
