I'm not sure I would choose this over say an iTrip, a cassette adapter or the like (if I had a mini, Belkin's new TuneBase would be pretty attractive); and I think a line-in like on COMAND equipped models is still the best solution. The benefits I see are that you don't have to clog up your power point and you don't have to worry about radio inteference. However, the negatives are that you have to give up either a cd changer or sat radio, you only have rudimentary control through the head unit and steering wheel controls, and that box has to go somewhere, taking up space. It's not any more or less conspicuous than an iTrip/cassette adapter would be, either. Plus, it's quite expensive: $200 + installation.

On the other hand, it is much more expensive than the other Ipod hookup options. If it makes my driving safer, by allowing me to pick songs from my steering wheel and with my eyes on the road, then I'm willing to pay the $200 + installation any day. Besides $200 are about 6 full tanks of gas, or about 12-18 days of driving.
