Joe, the Icelink dock cable looks almost identical to the BMW dock cable in the OEM kit... perhaps you've only seen the black semicircle cradle? It's available both ways. We hardly install the cradle any longer since the BMW Icelink goves you text on screen, it's hardly needed by most of our customers.

Tom sells that kit with the Sirius harness and all you need is the Sirius installation kit, which I get from Vaheh at CrevierBMW.com.

If you want BMW integration through the alphanumeric displays, BMW's ULF seems the way to go. If you want something less than $600, you can get it, but it doesn't integrate much, uses its own controllers and displays if any, and you just wanted OEM appearance in your iPod controller, so I guess you don't have a choice.

BMW is the only carmaker that makes this stuff retrofittable to this degree.

BMW OEM look and feel... cheaply... efficiently... pick any two.
