Since the '06 IS only does handsfree phone, you need a bluetooth adapter for the music. I use and really like this one:
Amazon.com: Kinivo BTC450 Bluetooth Hands-Free Car Kit for Cars with Aux Input Jack (3.5 mm) - supports aptX: Cell Phones & Accessories Amazon.com: Kinivo BTC450 Bluetooth Hands-Free Car Kit for Cars with Aux Input Jack (3.5 mm) - supports aptX: Cell Phones & Accessories

Be aware that if you car never had the static noise TSB performed, you'll probably also need a ground loop isolator for any powered bluetooth adapter. I use this one:
Amazon.com: PAC SNI-1/3.5 3.5-mm Ground Loop Noise Isolator Works with iPod/Zune/iRiver and Others: Automotive Amazon.com: PAC SNI-1/3.5 3.5-mm Ground Loop Noise Isolator Works with iPod/Zune/iRiver and Others: Automotive

Airenabler will work with the aux jack. You can use AirPlay. Sound quality is better than Bluetooth. Check Amazon.

Pandora, Spotify and the other Android apps work fine through Bluetooth.

Sound quality using the Kinivo adapter that I posted above, or any other Bluetooth adapter with the aptX codec sounds great to my ears.

I use a grom unit that plugs into the back of the stock stereo. Gives me USB plug functionality as well as BT.
