I bought an MS-8 and was going to install it, but there was an issue with sourcing the harness. I ended up returning the MS-8 and buying a JBL MS-2, which installs in-line between my ipod or bluetooth adapter and the aux-in port in the console.

The MS-2 works remarkably well (once it has been calibrated, which took some time). It also can be bought right now on ebay for about $30 new (though I paid much more for mine back in the day).

The difference in sound clarity and frequency response between stock and with the MS-2 on is incredible.

It may sound too good to be true, but my experience has been great.
