Default FM Bypass Modulator

So I recently purchased myself a 2004 x350 with touch screen nav and all that fun stuff. Unfortunately it does not have the phone module installed so I cannot listen to my music. So I am trying to find a solution that is fairly inexpensive and I came across this here.
https://www.amazon.com/iSimple-IS31-.../dp/B002U5XPBE
It seems like a good option, but with that being said, I know that I will have to rip out the entire dashboard to get into the modules and wiring. With that being said has anyone tried this? And with that, are there any online diagrams with the wiring set up and how this is all put together?
Thanks

It's possible to listen to music through the phone module?

ok , i simple is good .and every thing in the add is correct apart from the part that says crisp, clean sound !
by crisp, clean sound they actually mean quiet slightly muffled sound !
yes it works and is very easy install , but does not sound anywhere near digital quality .
you have a few options ,
1, you can add a RCA cable to the cd changer there are links with instructions somwere on here.
2, the bluetooth only veffbox device witch links to your d2b fiberoptic network ,and is controlled by your touch screen and steering wheel controls .my favorite !
3.the FM modulator that you have already found . i would recommend getting one that has a usb charger integrated , so when you see the light and up grade to something better it will still serve a purpose .
4, if you have a tape deck there is a aux in tape as well
and
5, the oem ACM, aux connectivity module (pretty much un obtainable)

and no you can not stream music through the jaguar phone bluetooth module !!

That is good to know, thank you. I did not know they would sound so bad. I did look up the veffbox as you called it, and it did look pretty good. The install thread I found along with their website was very helpful and looked like a good option. I will definitely save up and purchase that then.
As for what you said, in 1 and 3. Although it would be cheaper, and having a USB charger would be nice, ripping out the center console and all would not be worth it for me.
Thank you though.
