music playback?)
Also the programming can be tricky on older cars that are outside the date range that the combox was introduced in.
Labor is Zero in both cases if you DIY.
Its gonna be hard to get quality comparison's

I've been keeping an eye on feeBay for the past few months...prices of comboxes vary, but they come up for less than $100 sometimes. There are a couple of cheap ones on there, currently.
Won't work for non iDrive, ok, valid point, if that's the case.
By labor, I meant the amount of work needed to install either, not cost.
Coding is necessary for both, thought the date range thing has been figured out and older cars can be updated...maybe I have this wrong.
Either way, not trying to dismiss the device the OP bought/installed, just trying to find the benefits/drawbacks of both, and decide on what the best option would be.
