Connect2 Kits - has anyone used them?

Hi folks, just wanted to ask if anyone has any experience in using a Connect2 kit in their car? If so what has your experience been, good/bad? Thanks.

Thanks for the replies, I want to use it to play music from my phone/ipod on the car stereo. Is the sound quality and general ease of use ok for this purpose? Thanks.

These seem pretty good , cheaper than an MDI , and charges an iPhone? Where does the lead go , can you route it to the glovebox?

Hi, thanks for the info!

One last thing- someone said that if you use one of these kits you lose the function of the CD changer- is this true?

Also what connect2 kits did you guys go for as there seem to be various ones. Thanks.
