CarToys vs Ebay for SL500 03 AUX Iphone

Hello, I have read so many discussion about this issue. But I cannot decide to set up AUX iPhone connector for my car SL500 03. There is the product selling from Ebay.

Does anyone try to use this product for benz SL class R230?
When I visited CarToys, they asked me 500 dollars for Apple Ipod input kit($299)+labor. They will take the 6CD changer behind driver's seat off and put connector into instead of like the video in Youtube.

The ebay one looks like a total piece of ****. I wouldn't let it anywhere near my car.

$500 doesn't sound unreasonable for a professional installation into YOUR MERCEDES
