HELP : choix between interfaces iphone

Hi everyone

I know that the subject came up one million times : sorry and sorry also for my English (I am French).

My mission: I want to connect my iPhone 3GS at best

My presentation: I have a 2003 mini with Alpine head unit. I want to keep factory head unit completely. I changed all the speakers for front Hertz HSK 165 (very fair in depth) and rear I put the Boston SX95. I will soon put an amp rockford 400A4.

I want to know the best solution between them this:

1) Parrot MKi9200:

Cheap Used. Compatible with bluetooth. Screen for good navigation. The only problem: I'm afraid this is not compatible with the extern rockford amp?
Is this parrot compatible with external amp?

Should I use this adapter advised by a ebay seller:

??


2) OEM adapter for ipod mini :

Or Dice interface:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DICE-Elect...ht_2631wt_1156

Both interfaces are quite limited and I will not display text. Hard to navigate on the iphone. I can only navigate into the first five playlists. Quality can be very good. Im not interesting by navigate directly on the iPhone

3) Paser Maestro:

This is an interface that communicates with head unit with the radio antenna. Big advantage: the text display and big flaw: you have an external power supply (directly to the battery) and I would not be able to do it.

(Link in French sorry but there must be an equivalent in the U.S. or England)

A big thank you for all your ideas and advice

The GROM audio V3 iPod for BMW Mini.

You know this? Can I listen all the music formats on the grom? Includes apple lossless?
