DICE kit installed, is kinda chincey! My report:

[ALE53]

I like the fact that it charges, etc. and installed it for my wife in her X5 yesterday. Subsequently I noticed the case unit with the circuit boards inside is misshaped and will not seal completely. In an attempt to flip the tiny switches that engage ipod mode or car mode, one lever just snapped right off! I can't get the display or contols via the X5 radio either. DICE support is reminiscent of Japanese directions translated into English, some make sense, but most of it doesn't. Last but not least, when I turn on the X5 and turn on the radio, I get a loud POP from the speakers as the ipod kit kicks in.

I give DICE a C- for form & fit and a D for function. They do receive an A for ease of installation though. Unsettling to say the least and disappointing as this was an xmas gift.

For ridiculously less money I think the tape adapter and ipod charger is better. After that tape adapter dies just toss it out the window and get another for $1.99. If you gotta spend money on a display adapter go Dension.
