I'm guessing you didn't need the DSP adapter? Or do you know of a cheaper place than I do? I found the MB for $200 but the adapter is another $80.

I did not need the DSP adapter. I have a 2003 with DSP. It was confusing, but based on the connector to the CD changer, I didn't buy it, and it works fine.

Personally the BT streaming is what sold me on the MB, as well as the steering wheel controls.

Didn't your car come with a double din? Unless you got a new one I pretty sure that you can get BT for that HU.
