I've been using my iphone as my head unit (feeding the signal to a bluetooth adaptor that drives my existing passenger amp under the passenger seat) This provides a completely invisible system the sound quality of which is driven by amp/speaker selection. I do hear a bit of quality loss on bluetooth (mainfesting itself as a slight hum) but this is unnoticable with the engine on and while driving. May one day consider switching to an airplay solution which would feed uncompressed audio to a dedicated dac
While I appreciate Tremelune's concerns about distracted driving, and agree that selecting music/etc. while driving is a distracting event regardless of input source being used, since the volume buttons are physical buttons on the side of my iphone and I have my iphone mounted to an adaptor next to my clock, I've found volume adjustment via my iphone to be LESS distracting than reaching further over to adjust volume on a traditional radio.
I've also toyed with the idea of installing a hidden volume knob (and perhaps using the hole in my dashboard where a rear fog lamp switch would be installed for location), but haven't found a need for this yet.
