Folks, I saw this product being advertised in today's Best Buy circular. How would this work on our 2008 G8s? Pros? Cons?

I'm tempted in getting a parrot bluetooth kit, but I'm not so sure about pulling the dash apart to install it. I need a service manual to do this comfortably.

How does that Motorola kit even work? It says it works with the car speakers?

It works through the radio (FM Transmitter). I haven't had much luck with those in my area.

LOOKIE!

I noticed that the radio connector looks off our radios is identical to the one off the back of a BMW Headunit.
I was on the Parrot bluetooth site looking at their install diagrams and ISO adapters, and the one for a 3-series Business audio head unit looks just like ours! If its true it might make adding an after market BT easier.
Here's a link for the install instructions for a BMW:

I bought that Moto Bluetooth gadget today at Best Buy. I will not use it through the radio or to transmit music.. I only want easy Bluetooth. And it works well! Sound through it's built in speakers is so/so, good enough. The sound out to the other caller is fine according to my wife. My phone is an iPhone and it took 3 seconds to turn it on and pair it. So all is well, no worries if you keep it simple.
