First, if that unit is for RNS-C and RNS-D it will display little if anything due to limitations of the RNS. The best it can do (like XcarLink) is a track number.
(and presumably there's some cabling too - not illustrated)
Second, I've got Bluetooth on my XcarLink and it works well both for music and phone. Usual limitations on phone reception if the handset is inside the car with no external aerial, but for "occasional/emergency" use (which is all I really need) it's easier than a fully-fitted car kit.
I ran the microphone lead up to near the sunroof switches; it's not the best but "adequate".
My main phone is an older Nokia (not a smartphone) and pairs fine. I have (for work use, not when driving the S8) an iPhone and out of interest tried that, it was quite iffy about pairing up properly, but I also have WiFi problems (losing networks) with it so maybe it's on the way out.....
