Just tested rev with music in the background. Yes, it works.

One glitch I found is that the dials can be set to display an auto-range set function that sets the range of a dial (speed, rpm, throttle, MAF rate) based on what data it receives. E.g. If you only drive max 65km/h, the dial will display 0-70km/h.
However, when I set my MAF to auto, it keeps resetting the range so that it is about 10 times larger than what I usually have it running (so the needle barely moves, no visual indicator of MAF rate as a result). The only fix is to edit the gauge every time and reset the auto range function.

Other than that, yes go with the kiwi if you are interested in adding other modules. Good luck
