1) PT546-00120 - Pioneer head unit
2) PT546-74120-MC - microphone w/cable
3) PT546-00120-CH - 20 pin + 8 pin into 28 pin
4) PT546-00120-AD - antenna adapter
5) PT546-00120-US - USB adapter
If I've got this right, with the above I can directly connect my iPhone via USB or via Bluetooth to stream audio and use the built-in handsfree calling.
Do I need any extra cables/adapters to keep the JBL amplifier functionality?

Well, you're going to need a SWI-RC interface for your steering wheel controls to work with the new H/U.
On a side note, if you are concerned about your H/U matching your OEM lighting, you might want to first consider whether or not you plan on doing an LED gauge/HVAC light swap in the future. Many of us, here on T4R.org, get LED light swaps for our gauge clusters and HVAC dash controls. I'm not sure if you have seen this yet, but essentially, you can change the color (blue, red, green, white or even a combination of colors as in the photo below) of all your gauges, switches and controls, via LED's. Here is an example of white with blue:
I paid about $220.00 to have my gauges, HVAC and steering wheel controls changed to a white and blue combination and it was worth EVERY penny. Just something to consider if you would like to get away from the OEM amber/yellow scheme. Here is a link to a thread that has some examples:

Anyway, welcome to the T4R.org family!
