Default Best Option(s) for Adding Apple/Lightning Cable to 2006 OEM System

Hello friends. I'm purchasing a 2006 SC430 and I want to retain the OEM system. What is the best option for adding USB/Lightning Cable integration into the vehicle. I do not want to use a cigarette lighter and cassette tape application. I've seen several people reference the VAIS system but it looks like the SL3u-L only provides a AUX input and I'm hoping for something that could charge the phone as well.

Any thoughts or recommendations?

This is what I use. The Bluetooth kit.

Thank you - this is a whole bluetooth kit though? It looks like the SC430 I'm buying has factory bluetooth. Should I be fine getting the non-bluetooth version? Does the non-bluetooth version offer charging capabilities via USB or lightning cable?

The factory Bluetooth is telephone only. Not music. If you get the full kit it becomes both. Uses a different microphone. Plus it gives you a USB port on the module to plug your lightning cable into. Very easy to install with the trim tool kit.
