2007 R56 MINI - iPod, MP3 & USB kits

I saw this from NewMINIStuff and thought was wondering if anyone tried it here? 2007 R56 Mini - ipod, MP3 & USB kits

I'm very interested to put in a USB kit that could play from a USB thumb drive. If anyone know more information about this, please let me know!

This interface gives a USB2 socket suitable for memory sticks & most MP3 players (not ipod). It connects via the cars aerial leads. Volume is controlled by the factory stereo while folder/track browsing is done via the supplied wireless controller. Titles will scoll across your factory stereo/nav display. There are 3 wires which require splicing. An upgraded version with ipod interface in addition to USB is also available

It's an FM modulator. I'm pretty sure you don't want this, unless you are not very picky about audio quality. Also, it won't be well integrated (dangling port, remote). I guess they must be using RDS to display stuff on the Nav?
