I have this kit and I installed it myself. It's not that difficult.

It will shuffle through your entire iPod. You select Disc 6 on your stereo and that accesses the entire iPod disk. Press RND and you will be shuffling through all of your songs. That's pretty much how I use it. If a song comes on that I like and I know it's part of an album I want to hear, I turn RND off and at least get to hear some of the songs from that album.

The Dension system is better for control but the BMW kit does work as advertised.
