The Iphone doesn't have a hold button, so how does its operation differ?

In smart mode, if the iPod is left unlocked - full control us avaialble via the touchscreen/clickwheel or steering wheel controls. Lock the iPod and control is available through the steering wheel only.

The CD Changer cannot be retained with the DICE kit. Keep in mind you will still have CD playing capabilities with your in-dash unit.

Try the iPod route first, the Changer will be long forgotten.

since my X5 4.6is don't have CD dash unit, I think it is a on-board computer unit, but just a CD changer at the tail ..... so, I just wanna reconfirm with you that the DICE SILVERLINE PRO iPod Integration kit can keep my CD changer, but just additional with the ipod function.

How much it costs totally, and shipping to Hong Kong

The DICE replaces the CD Changer - the two cannot be run together since the X5 is not equipped to recognize 2 CD changers (which the DICE is emulating) at the same time.

Try plugging in the new device first to see if the noise persists. Otherwise, have the trunk harness relocated.
