What's the difference (besides price) than this?

Obviously the same thing. Works very well and pairs quickly upon starting the car. I bought one for an 03 Box with a CRD-23 but sold the car. Ended up putting the device in an 02 4runner. Easy install and works great for both calls and music.

What's the diff???

I'll tell you, Heliguy.

The difference is the service.

I ended up ripping the microphone apart, don't ask, and the Bumper Plugs owner was able to contact the manufacturer, who he has a relationship with as a distributor, and get me a replacement microphone that worked.

Wal-Mart can't do that.

You get what you pay for. We have all of these folks who support our Boxsters, I'd rather give them my money than Wal-Mart.

I'll pay a little more for that kind of support and service.

Every.

Single.

Time.

Walmart will take returns and/or exchanges and most of us have one within a few miles, so no waiting for shipping.
Most people would prefer to save the extra $55.

175% markup is not "paying a little more". That's a lot more.
