KCA-100BT Alpine Bluetooth Reviews?

I'm hoping someone here has played with this unit already. I have an Alpine IVA-D900 and I want to switch to this. I just sold my Sirius and Ipod alpine adapter in favor of this. I have a T-Mobile MDA which can stream audio via Bluetooth and I even have an Ipod emulator program on it. I really don't care too much about the bluetooth phone capability but the audio is huge for me. There is even a ROM update for my phone to make it stream in stereo. I've been hearing about Bluetooth interference lately too though. Anyone have input?

grenloch101056 is an unknown quantity at this point

bestbuy sells a universal bluetooth audio adapter, one part connects to rca inputs behind your deck and the other connects to whatever you wanna stream from

The nice part about the Alpine is that it will auto mute the stereo for incoming calls. I'm just curious about this specific unit.

I briefly considered it as it seems really neat but decided against it b/c of the expense of having to upgrade to the 9856. Also unsure whether it supports pass thru capability similar to the Terk Sirius module or not which is an issue for me because I share the input with my JVC Sirius receiver and my iPod.
