Let me preface by saying that I have now had the chance to try both units out in my X5 and once you have a chance to use the Intravee it becomes very apparent how poor of a design the DICE is. Now keep in mind the DICE is $150 whereas the Intravee is $250 plus the required Alpine IPOD interface which is $75 (On Ebay, they don't make it anymore). But regardless the Intervee has no static, doesn't crash, doesn't lose the connection to the Ipod, has a full menu system if you have Navigation and transitions through the menus quickly. I was having a lot of problems with my initial DICE unit which EAS happily replaced. But the problems remained, including digital noise, losing the connection to the Ipod, etc. And is disconnecting the battery and touching terminals together really a solution??? Have you SEEN the battery location in the X5???

To all of you who have a DICE unit and are unhappy about it, I highly suggest that if you can afford it, switch to the Intravee. You will be MUCH happier.
