Figured I would post an update now that it's been a few months. I use my car pretty much everyday and the BT mod has never failed me. I haven't had to remove the head unit for any reason and it's served me well.
The only nuisance I've found while using this is having to use the iphone to skip, pause or play. Maybe in the future I'll look into converting some of the buttons to do basic functions, but I'm not quite sure it'll be worth the effort.

Just want to let everyone know that FastM96 found a 12V bluetooth board that will fit in the head unit. (Which means we don't need the buck converter in the system) Still some electrical bugs to work out, but an update to this mod will be coming out in the near future! 
If anyone has a cr-220 lying around please PM me. I need a unit I can work on for more than a few hours at a time. I'd love to be able to utilize the buttons on the unit to control whatever app is streaming the music, rather than having to pull out the phone every time.
