Well, thanks to a lot of your input and feedback, I finally got my ride set up in a way that matched my vision.

Got a new Alpine in-dash unit (CDE-149BT-HD) and the installer made a custom faceplate that matches the rest of the dash.

Installed the KUDA USA mount that matches the interior perfectly. The iPhone 5 is at the perfect angle and the wiring is hidden within the KUDA mount.

What a difference from the FM modulator! Fully functional bluetooth, no wires, great sound while still looking like the whole radio blends in like it was factory stock.
