I called Crutchfeild and they sent me the unit wired to plug into the car. It did have a "converter" box, for lack of a better term. My does all that stuff you mentioned plus NAV.
There's some sort of wiring for the system. I bought my gear from Crutchfield and it had all the parts needed. The system dings/chimes etc. run through the stereo so you'd lose audible warnings if you don't take care of that. I don't remember what the device was. Probably a small interface box of some sort.
On edit: this pic of all the parts I used has a little box to the side and is probably the interface for the system chimes. I can check my paperwork when I get home if you need more info.

For an extra $25, Crutchfeild will send it to you ready to go, best $25 I ever spent. I also did an old mustang I have, same deal, arrived and I plugged it in.
