iSimple... Confused.

About to order my iSimple ipod integration but im confused on which one to buy because under my 05 TL there are a couple different ones.

iSimple ISHD571
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00455...AC_SX110_SY190

iSimple ISHD651
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00C5U...AC_SX110_SY190

What is the difference between these two? The 571 seems like a more complete kit but im looking to be able to stream audio via bluetooth without having to buy anything seperate and it doesnt look like its possible with that kit. The 651 seems to have the bluetooth built in but yet the kit looks a lot more simple (less wires). Also the 651 doesnt come up on iSimple's website.

seems to me you nailed what the differences are between the two models.

And, the 651 has more wires. You can see them here. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51J2WlkJgxL.jpg

Ive noticed the 571 needs the seperate bluetooth module for it to work ($60) but its included with the 651 and its only $30 more so didnt make much sense to me. And the iSimple website doesnt even give me the option for the 651 all they show me is the 571 when i put my vehicle info in.

hey sorry to thread jack, but I have an iSimple in my new car, and I am thinking of changing my phone from iphone to something android. Can I use one of these on iSimple so the sound still works. I know it wouldn't charge the phone I just care about the audio
