Anyone changed their Command Unit to one of these updated ones?

Iv just put down a deposit on an 04 S55 and rather disappointingly it doesnt play DVD's or MP3's. Thinking of doing some upgrades to it so i can atleast play MP3's in the car.

However, came accross these Command Units and thought they looked quite good and seem to do the trick nicely, whilst keeping it all looking factory spec. They seem to offer a whole bunch of gizmos aswell, like DVD, MP3, GPS, Bluetooth etc etc.

But i want to know if anyone has tried one of these and wether they are what the sellers claim to be? I dont really want to get caught out at this price. Theres plenty on ebay, this particular one is here:-

er . . . . care to expand on that a little please?

Was it this exact unit you used? Or another aftermarket one?

Your thoughts on the feel, quality and functionality? Does it actually do what its supposed to do or did you have problems with it i.e connecting through bluetooth, playing a DVD or playing music etc etc?

Any pics of the installed product would be fantastic.

Thanks.
