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.

New features of DICE SILVERLINE PRO iPod Integration kit include:

- Direct integrated connection, without the need for FM transmitters or cassette adapters
- Full Text Display on your factory radio or Navigation screen
- Full control of your iPod via the radio buttons while in play
- Browse by Individual Song
- Browse by Individual Playlist
- Browse by Individual Albums
- Source Selector w/ Integrated AUX input
- Album Selection
- Full charging mode for iPods through included dock connector

The kit will come with everything needed w/ the docking cable. The iPod can be safely stored away in the glove compartment for 100% stealth installation and accessed completely from the steering wheel controls. The DICE comes with a 15-foot cable length to reach anywhere in the vehicle you like.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

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.
