I'd be interested in adding the iPod interface this way if the sound was taken from the iPod digitally rather than analogue on the AUX port.
As far as I know, the ipod retrofit kit emulates a CD changer, so the music is passed through to the HU digitally. I remember reading some sound quality issues with the AUX input such that it attenuates a certain frequency bands. Although I also remember reading that it cannot be installed if you already have 6FL.
