Also, in terms of moving from one BMW to another (coz I might change my car soon. Other one would be BMW of course, but not sure which one), which one is easier?

Thanks.

You're PM'ing the same questions here and on Bimmerforums, we'll pick up at BFC.

I have the Dice unit for the X5 with Sirius Satellite Radio and the alternator whine has made the iPod practically unusable. My Dice unit was professionally installed, and I have taken it back to them with no relief. of course they want to sell me a new third party radio with iPod support, but that seems ridiculous to me. I took the car to another shop who added an additional ground - still no relief.

I have heard some say that you need to cut the ground wire in the existing cable harness for the CD-Changer (which was not installed).

Any thoughts?

Not cut, but grounded properly or a Ground Loop isolator spliced into the wire depending on what specific version you purchase.

With the trunk mounted unit, am I still able to use the CD changer?

No, the CD Changer is replaced by the DICE. If you have non-NAV, you can still use the in-dash player.

Can this Dice Ipod Integration Kit or other Kits show the ALBUM PICTURES in the monitor, not just showing the track no., or song names ??

No, DICE (nor any other kit) will perform this action.
