Default Electronics features provided by model year

I am in the process of locating and buying a SC430. The model years that I am interested in are 2007-2010. Can someone point me to a source for the electronics features offered by year? I am especially interested in the bluetooth capability and how it integrates into the nav screen. I have asked several Lexus dealers, but nobody knows the cars in that kind of detail. If there is a source that details the subtle changes by model year, that would be even better.
Thanks

Default Ipod interface

What exactly is the ipod interface? Does it support the 30pin wide connector on the bottom of ipods? Is there a usb connector for a usb dongle drive on models before 2010? If so, does it support mp3 files on the dongle?
