Bluetooth Options for 04 E55

I'd like to add Bluetooth capabilities to my 04 E55. It had the factory tele aid with the Motorola V60 cradle in the console. I don't have the UHI connector. I've seen two things that appeal to me.

and

with this

Does anyone have any experience with either of these ? Does anyone recommend any other products ?

Can you access your phone book and SMS messages ? I know with the first link you can. I've been turned off by that one because I'd lose the 6 disc changer by going that route supposedly. For the price and losing the changer I don't see it worth it. I found this that combines the last 2.

Where in NJ are you located ?

I came across that too. I'd rather have the puck with the tail. Where does that connect ? To the factory harness for the V60 ? I'm hoping I can eventually remove all of that from the console. Keep me posted with details on finding a star. I'm also looking to get one. I'd like to add the additional menus to the cluster.
