So I installed my Dice kit in my X5 and the install went pretty well. I followed the instructions from BSW and they were great. I would just recommend and re-iterate to anyone doing it yourself to be very careful when removing the trimpieces and pulling on them. I actually broke the trim pieces on the door sills a little but not enough to not be able to re-install them without any problems. I'll have to replace them, but only because I'm a little OCD and just knowing they are broken drives me nuts.

The operation of the Dice unit is another matter. I was worried before I purchased it about the operation because of my expierience with a Dice unit for my VW. Well, I was right to be worried because this BMW unit does the same things the VW unit does. All the issues that have been described in this thread are occuring for me. I should have went with my gut and held off. When it works it is great, but these issues, and having to constantly re-set the unit is annoying. And can anyone explain what the "initialization" phase is that is described in the instructions? I followed the instructions to the letter, but the text display is working very erratic for me. Text shows up on the cluster, and I dont like the text there, and I change to disc 6 track 4 to get it on the MID but it sometimes does switch it, sometimes does'nt.

All in all I hope a better kit is available someday.
