It doesn't look like these solutions do AVRCP (which allows you to control the iPhone via the head unit). At least with my iPhone, that makes it a dangerous deal-breaker. That said, to start wiring your head unit such that it would control your iPhone would probably take some reverse engineering, soldering, and an Arduino...

For my E30, I left the stock radio in the dash (disconnected) and put a modern head unit in the glovebox where I couldn't see it. I wired an IR receiver and just use a little remote to control everything. It is not ideal, but it works well and is receptive to future changes.

For my Porsche I just got over it and put in a Pioneer DEH-PRS80. It behaves as expected and will go completely dark after five seconds of use so that I don't notice it, particularly at night.
