Checking to see if anyone has installed a bluetooth recevier directly to their amp to avoid the rolloff and other shortfalls of the factory headunit. I basically stream sirius for most music anyways.

AudioControl's ACX-BT1 seems to fit the bill and would appear to solve some of the issues owners are chasing.

The downfall would likely being controlling volume, since it would require the phone to adjust and same for phone calls.
