Default Which years have USB or AUX in for iPod/iPhone?

I'm looking at getting a used IS250. I didn't see any way to plug my iPhone into the 2008 I was looking at — no USB nor AUX in jack. I'd miss not being able to plug my iPhone in for streaming audio. Which year started offering this as standard and does it need to have NAV? Thx.

2010 added USB and Bluetooth Audio, all years had Aux-in.

The 2008 does have an aux in jack. It's in the center console.

2007/8/9's have a Sat button on the radio. This was for a port on the back of the head unit for the
optional Sat radio tuner. Very low take rate at the time and the XM tuner is no longer available
from the dealer. You can however buy an Accessory Cable that will permit nice high bandwidth
connection and device charging plus radio (or Nav) display of songs and steering wheels control!

Maybe something like this with the proper vehicle-specific cable:

Do none of those cables offer micro-usb or the lightning connector natively vs the 30 pin? Often times the 30 pin to lightning adapter doesn't work on these cables...
