I bought mine on ebay. came from a dealer. $119. then added on WMA1000 Tune2Air for Bluetooth streaming. $89
but to be honest if I did it all over again i'd just buy a Aux Bluetooth adapter and run that. I run that on my Audi into the Aux and works and sounds great.
$208 vs $35

An aux BT adapter may well be better and cheaper for sure - good suggestion unless you want a hardline connection...

Tune2Air never worked consistently for me so I sold it. I'm not entrenched on Apple products/services but I did buy a used 80GB iPod and use CopyTrans Manager.

I'm totally at peace using an iPod and just leaving it in the glovebox. Never have to deal with connection issues, BT pairing, phone call being cut off occasionally, etc. The fact that I don't have to use iTunes to sync music to the iPod is icing on the cake and I can still have rockbox firmware on the iPod - doesn't interfere with the connection. Getting a used one is cheaper than a Tune2Air as well.

I did (having to use email to sales to get the proper unlock code just to update firmware is silly BTW), but it still had lots of problems. It also interfered with my BT connection for phone (I have the MB BT puck for phone). I know I'm not the only one as there has been quite a few folks who have stated the exact same thing in Amazon reviews.

not sure what phone you have, but on my Android I've unselected "Phone Audio" and only selected "Media Audio" and it works flawlessly. Prior to that if both were selected, 5% of the time when I was doing funky stuff it would become very confused on which device to use for incoming calls.
