Are there any major benefits over just installing an aux cable, using the bluetooth facility (installed in the car already) and steering wheel controls?
The only thing I miss is not being able to scroll through my music library via the steering wheel controls, but this isn't a biggie really. I do notice that if I have my power cord plugged in, I cannot listen to music via the aux cable, as there's an annoying buzz that comes through the stereo. Not a biggie either, as I only listen to my iPhone music library when I can't receive a radio signal (for about 1 hour of my usual trip), then I just listen to the radio or CD's and plug the iPhone back in for charging.
