Tom,

I have emailed you and paged you and no responses...

I went ahead and installed the DICE unit on my 2004 x5, everything was working perfectly fine during the day. Then on my way to Atlantic City, the Unit stopped responding all of the sudden. I noticed that the ipod started going back and forth on the screen showing me the main menu and going to "Dice is okay disconnect" also noticed on my instrument cluster that now it's showing the message "DETACHED". I have reset my ipod couple of times and even restored it from scratch and same thing.

PLEASE HELP fix this issue, hopefully is something simple and I don't need to go through the whole battery thing (which I would hate).

Thanks,
Dannye

I replied to an email of yours last night - I am recommending the battery reset procedures be performed as your issue is likely to a bad initialization.

Hey TOM,

Thanks for your reply. I was able to get my DICE unit to work and didn't have to go through the battery reset procedures. YUPIIII


1. Switched off ignition
2. Disconnected both cables from the DICE unit and the cable to the ipod
3. Reset ipod holding menu and center button
4. After 3 minutes with the DICE unit disconnected, connected cables again.
5. Turned on ignition and connected iPod and VOILA!

I am very intersted in picking one of these up for my 2004 X5. I have a quick question, do I have to disconnect the cd changer? And do you sell any mounting plates for the ipod? I have the 6 disk changer w/ nav. I dunno if you needed to know that or not.?

You won't be able to use your CD changer if you install the DICE unit, but again you won't need it either.

Plenty in stock - get those orders in.

Hello,

What would you prefer for me?

Radio Harness or Trunk setup?

I have 1999, 328I. Want quick, easy installation but that functions best.

Thanks.

Both offer the same functions, your only difference is the connection point.

The Trunk interface version of the DICE kit allows you to make the necessary connections at the CD Changer cables in the trunk area, and allows 15 feet of cable length to allow placement of your iPod anywhere in the vehicle you like.

The Radio interface version of the DICE kit is a favorite among professional installers. This kit allows a direct connection directly at the radio, eliminating a long cable from the CD changer connectors in the trunk. This also provide a shorter cable route, reducing the possibility of engine noise. The Radio interface kit is also choice for euro models that do not have CD Changer prewiring.

Well, I guess my concern was the delay in following the command. I mean, as the trunk interface has a long wiring, is it slugish as compared to the direct connected to radio one??
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.
