This is the setting I have kept so far, but it is far from adequate.
It was a straight forward install, so I am baffled. Can you suggest anything I should change?

It sounds like the iPod possibly powered up while connected to the DICE. Some BMWs are a bit temperamental during the initialization process. Perform the following steps:
1. Disconnect iPod from cable
2. Remove battery cables, negative first
3. Touch battery cable terminals together (away from battery) for +5 seconds, a small spark is normal as this is stored power draining from the system.
4. Allow cables to remain disconnected for about 5-7 minutes
5. Reconnect battery cables onto battery, negative last.
6. Reboot iPod by pressing on MENU and CENTER buttons for +5 seconds and then reconnecting to the DICE cable after the reboot process is completed.
Let me know if these steps correct the problem.
