Haha I understand that but when all I want to my song I spend more time digging for my phone to change the song. My current set up is a oem iPod cable In the glovebox. So If want to change a playlist I need to open the box, unplug the iPhone, change it, plug it back in the just drive.

I routed the ipod cable through my Euro center console, so I plug my phone in - crystal clear music playback, and it charges the phone at the same time. I have not tried to play music wirelessly and wasn't aware it was even possible with this unit.
The Bluetooth phone calls are very clear and effective. The only complaint I have, and I've seen others with it as well, is that the ipod navigation menu is a bit archaic. I think everyone is expecting a software update when the new unit is launched (expected winter of 2013 from what I hear).
By the way, I strongly recommend calling Jeff at J&T Distributing if you decide to go Dynavin. You can actually call him and he picks up right away. Versus dealing with Otto Nav or the other Amazon / eBay dealers that have no phone number and atrocious customer service!

If you can get past the install issues. (wire swap, trimming of two cables), the only issues you'll have to deal with is changing the source every time you get in the car, and possible bugs in the OS...
Like I said, I'd do it again simply because of the ridiculously low price (relatively), but if that stuff bothers you...definitely go for the Dynavin instead.
dynavin D99 V5 here - fantastic with iGoPrimo nav software and WINce version (don't get android). Sound output is improved through stock speakers, even better through BSW or aftermarket. Bluetooth is good, make sure you mount the suppied mic VERY close to your mouth like on the driver side A pillar (OEM mic location doesn't do well). BT streaming is good, not AMAZING but good enough to use (you have to put the unit into phone mode like you are about to make a call). You can't combine streaming playback with nav which sucks but the iPod/aux input is there for you to use as well and quality is top notch. There are a few bugs every now and then but after looking over everything else out there, it's just something you accept if you go this route. Plug and play install is a breeze for even the timid DIY'er. Also a great thing I enjoy is it has the ability to integrate an expanded stereo system later if you choose, RCA and Subwoofer controls and preouts are a huge bonus you usually only get with the big aftermarket swaps like alpine/pioneer/jvc ect...
If you can snag one for $699 I'd say hell of a deal, I paid $8xx for mine a bout 18 months ago.
