+1 for the GROM

Only downside is manual CD activation, otherwise a quality unit for both Bluetooth & streaming

According to the link, it doesn't "come" with anything as it's a receiver for whatever phone your using as a display (just think of it as a dock between your phone and a car-based amplifier). If you've got an iPhone then it uses the Apple ecosystem; if it's an Android phone then it uses that.

Looking to do a Grom at some time myself. Currently using a Bluetooth aux adaptor and it works perfectly well, but the sound quality when swapping to the cd or radio input is vastly different, feels like it wakes the amplifier up properly.

I expect it's due to the way the head unit and amp handle the inputs, my cd changer is directly linked to the amp via coaxial (DSP system) so that may well explain why it's so good.
