Don't 100% take this as fact..... but I believe the main wiring harness is PNP. I would say it's safe to say that you will need the iPod cable on the premium Pioneer HU.... Unless it comes with one already. I have the Premium Pioneer HU in my 08 tC with the factory under floor sub. Personally for a factory HU, I think it's a pretty decent one.

In order to use the iPod on the newer headunits your dashboard wiring harness needs to already have the connector for it which runs into the center console, and if your tC doesn't have iPod support, then chances are it may not have the iPod cable that runs into the center console (and is a part of the dash harness). Without this cable you'll need a custom made cable which you can find on eBay, like this one:
