Sorry, I have no experience with them, and I can't recall people posting about it at all here, but I'll throw in my standard add-on advice -
The factory stereos are so prone to failure that purchasing any sort of add-on for it is a gamble, since they'll be worthless (resale value notwithstanding) when the headunit inevitably goes out of order. That, combined with how poorly they interface with an iPod or USB when compared with even a budget aftermarket headunit these days makes it seem a bad way to go.
From what I've seen, these radios have (at least partial) failure rate of nearly 100%, so you *will* need to replace the radio at some point, so putting $100 - 200 (for the iSNI571 gateway and the pghni1) for an adapter that gives you 1/10th the functionality of a $310 radio like the Pioneer AVH-3200BT seems a very poor choice.

I definitely agree. I am getting this for a very cheap price and I'm personally over making CDs. Thanks for the advice

Trying to install this while I'm away from home and I'm stuck. I have everything out and can't seem to shake the HU out due to the cubby hole in my way. I took off the clock cover but I'm stuck there also. I tried searching from my phone and only got diy for 03-04 coupes. Can anyone link me to a dash/HU removal diy for 05+?. My phone is dying and I'm away from a computer ftl

Haha, it's like I foresaw your install problem. I took this video just the other day in case somebody had the same problem I had. The video is still processing, but here's the link:
Here's what you do:
1) Remove both pieces of the clock trim.
2) Connect the top to the bottom with the lock tabs so they're securely attached to each other.
3) Put down a couple layers of masking tape on the dash in the front of the clock opening.
4) Push the top clock trim tabs into place.
5) Slide the bottom tabs along the masking tape and into their place.
