Grom audio adapter

I was looking at iPod adapters for my Mini, and I ran across this:

http://www.gromaudio.com/store/usb_a...-usb2-bmw.html

Looks like this would allow me to attach an external USB hard drive. The FAQ's say it supports up to 80gb. I would rather have that than my iPod (only an 8gb). I've got a drive that is already loaded with my music library. Anyway, what I want to know is, has anybody used one of these yet? Or any adapters from this company? Is it quality stuff?

Thanks

Hi,

I bought one, the implementation is so easy, just plug into your CD changer sockets in the boot.

The problem I face comes with my Parrot Bluetooth Adaptor, it doesnt have the CD Changer wires to patch through the wiring loom.

It requires me to pull the headunit and Parrot kit out and patch the wires, which is somewhat painful, and I havent done it yet.

My experience(even without sound) is pretty good, the unit would display and scroll the song title that was currently playing.

So very positive except the Parrot kit getting in the way.
