Bluetooth Recommendations??

I hope there's not a duplicate thread about this (I couldn't find one); however, I'd like a recommendation about what Bluetooth system I might consider. Has anyone had any experience at dealerships (do they sell/ install them and if so are they reliable, quality products worh the cost)? Or, do you recommend something else? The more I drive, the more I am finding it would be really nice to take advantage of the phone feature on the multiple-function steering wheel instead of mucking about all the time with the phone. Have iPhone 4.

Your comments are very much appreciated.

I have the MINI system, with bluetooth and MINI connected. Before that tho, I had a Pioneer touchscreen DVD system, and the bluetooth worked great (no phonebook, but audio worked fine!). Pioneer has a new Double Din head unit that might possibly fit (might need to get a custom rack tho) and its a touchscreen with bluetooth and iPhone apps...so you can load in your GPS onto the screen. Looks really cool!
