Need advice on audio adapter. Grom BT3 vs?

I have a 2005 Acura Tl base w/ Navi. I also use an android phone. I'm currently looking at the Grom BT3 unit. I noticed that in order to get song info on the Nav screen I would have to buy the Grom USB2 unit and it would only display if hardwired. Is there any unit out there that will display song info via bluetooth for an android? Any other units I should be considering? Thanks,

Now that I'm looking at the i simple ishd651, if neither the grom nor isimple display android text, and both are similarly priced, which one would you go with?

Just bought the isimple ISHD651 and it does in fact control my samsung galaxy S4 with steering wheel controls (long press on channel +/-) and via the tune knob while in bluetooth mode. I am driving a 2008 TL without nav. This unit does not support android text for song info, it just says "streaming" on my display. I don't have nav but I do know this unit will not work with cars that have the "live traffic" option.

thanks! good to know. So can you also connect the android via USB and play it? I'm assuming still know text display? How does the sound quality of the bluetooth stream sound? Thanks again. It's hard to find any info on this unit with android phones.

I have the same questions as the OP. Just got a 08 TL Type S and would like to be able to control my Android phone via my steering wheel. Any information would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Same request as the above owner but just with a 07 Type-S. I have the Music Link 30-Pin adapter as well and was wondering if a bluetooth dock connector like the link below would work? Not really worried about getting the songs to display just looking for bluetooth audio as it's really the only knock I have about the car.
