The DICE is very simple to install, your specific model year will depend if you need the DSP converter or not.

What year do you have?

Question for Tom.

I am planning on orderdering the DICE ipod adapter for my 05/2005 X5 3.0i w/o DSP, w/o CD changer.
Looking at the following article I was not able to identify the 3 and 6 pin wiring harness for the CD Changer plugs. Do you have any other instructions with more detailed steps?

I have just fitted the DICE adpator for Early DSP to my 2000 model X5, I do not have an Ipod but I had been given a new Alpine CD changer for my Car as my original was not working. I was also given an adaptor for a standard BMW to alpine adaptor.

I decided to by the Dice DSP adpator, evenm though DIce siad it wa only for ipod. I have successfully fitted it as it converts the Coaxial digital line to the standard output.

Al i had to do was supply 12V power to it connect in the DSP coaxial and the fly lead from the dice box provided the same 6 p point connection as standard.

I will try and post pictures of it when I have more time.

You connectors will be located in the cargo area on the driver's side behind the access panel. There you will see the 3/6 pin connectors.

Thanks for the response.

Behind the access panel there are a bunch of wires but none are loose.
Do I need to open the bottom black part which is to the left of the spare tire and to the right of the access panel?
Do you have a picture? It will help me finding the 3/6 connectors
Thanks

Is this unit even available for the '01? I have heard that there is no available iPod hookup for the '01. I think it was only available for '03 and newer.

I can live with the tape adapter because it really does sound great but hate the long cord hanging out of the middle of my dash.

I completed my dice install with dsp adapter. It took a few hours but nonetheless I have ipod integration and no more cd skipping. Great investment!

The Dice install has been probably the best upgrade on my X. I love it. Now I want to get a little more savy with some other downloads. Like there was a post a few weeks ago about the navi system that you can download different voices and sounds as you go throw the Ipod... Can anybody tell me where I can find this and how to install it on my navi? Thanks...

You must be referring to voicetags:
