Default Grom

Hey everyone,
Has anyone tried the grom kit in an 850? Just wondering if anyone has had any good or bad luck with it.

I've got one in my wagon. I like it, though I think sound quality could be better. Still beats using the cassette adapter.

I can't recall how long I've had mine. Bought the wagon this time last year, so it's been less than that. No issues personally.

How does the device connect? Just plugs into the harness with no cutting/splicing/hacking required?

Then, you need a separate cable to go from the GROM to your device?

No cutting. Plugs right in, and has a lead to plug into your headphone jack on mp3 player. I'm using my phone, or I'd post an installed pic.
