TripTunes

Anyone have a TripTunes for an 05+? Here's the specs from the Ford Accessories website:

TripTunes™
Part Number: 6R3Z-19A464-AA
MSRP: $50.00

Take your tunes on the road! Now you can connect portable audio players (MP3, iPod,® iRiver,® SanDisk,® etc.), plus portable CD and cassette players, right to your in-dash radio. Just plug your player into the harness – a 3.5mm stereo connector provides the interface so you can listen to music through the radio’s speakers and control the volume. Audio connection is housed securely in your vehicle’s glovebox or center console. "Dealer Installation Recommended"

Fits:
Ford Mustang 2007 2006

I'd like to know how people like it and how hard it would be to install. From what I understand, it just plugs into the accessory port on the back of the head unit. My local dealer wants almost $100 to install the damn thing. I'm not down with that.

I'm not car stereo savy, so how much problems would I have putting this thing in?

****FYI****
Ford changed the Antenna input on the radio for '06, it's NOT the same as the '05, heard this from 2 of my friends who install stereos.
On another note I'm not a big fan of FM Modulators, I'm big into sound quality and prefer direct input, but if you don't have/don't want a radio that offers that feature than this is the next best thing, at least it plugs into the antenna port instead of trying to transmit the FM to the antenna wirelessly (that's even lower quality in my experiences)
Oh and install is just as simple as it sounds, pull the radio, plug it in, run the wires behind the dash to wherever you want to place the unit, place headunit back in car and you're good to go
