I disconnected the DICE iPod adapter that was found sitting in front of the LCM.

Wow!
What else is tucked away in there?
Maybe you will be lucky and find something cool too. I found a dented Monte Blanc under the edge of the seat rail and console.

PS. If you find a gold bar or rare piece of artwork I'm completely cool with 10lbs of bacon sent to Saudi Arabia

Ha! only a bunch of annoying wires that didn't come with the x5 from the factory. I'm still hunting for the bag of cash and gold bars though. Thankfully it already has black interior otherwise I may have better luck finding some treasure...

I found over $3 in change and a complete wardrobe for Barbie in the seat pockets. Oh and one can not forget the 1/2 pound of melted M&Ms in the center console.

Love it. I found out why Whoppers candy comes in a milk carton the day I left a brand new carton on my dashboard.

FYI: quite yummy as a liquid with floating malted milk balls.

The money I found when lifting the rear seat in my X5 went a long way (not really) toward replacing the fuel pump. Almost as good as any time I need to fix the washing machine $$$$ . Love those self-funded repair efforts / treasure hunts.


On the X5, I've been lucky regarding aftermarket electronics. The only weird thing, which I have not touched, is what I think is a LoJack transceiver back near the GPS.

After removing the DICE and Valor iPod adapter modules, The voltage only dropped from 12.30.12.29 in a 13 hour period. I'd say these were causing the issue, but I will keep paying close attention to the voltage while the X5 sits in the garage over a longer period of time.

UPDATE:
The battery has still been holding a charge since removing the aftermarket iPod modules.
