Got the Dice, and really disappointed - Intravee better??

[ncsucarjock]

Folks,

I got the Dice converter installed and running, and I really don't like the interface, I find it quite difficult to use, and know what I'm doing. It also seems to randomly decide to stop or pause sometimes when I turn the vehicle off, losing my place in the playlist.

I am seriously considering going to the Intravee, but wanted to be sure that it will be better.

Does the intravee allow you to control the Ipod from the Ipod as well as the steering wheel/nav button interface??

Thanks,
Evan

I have both and the Intravee is much better in terms of controling the iPod but it is more expensive. Intravee will not allow you to control from the iPod cause simply you won't need it. I am keeping the iPod at the back of the car.

There are a lot of topics discussing and comparing this issue ... u can use the search option or you can go to the audio/electronics forum http://www.xoutpost.com/bsws-mobile-electronics-forum/

Hope this is not a hi-jack of the thread
I just had stock installed Ipod adapter from dealer and yes it was FREE (not aux plug) and I can control it from steering wheel but it only displays TROO 192 for track #192. Any thing I'm doing wrong? Definitely better sounding then FM transmitter but no song name, band etc!!

Can you access iPod videos from the Intravee II interface?

I have the DICE and am pleased. No Nav. I have found if I turn off the radio before disconecting it, it won't loose it's place. I use it with an iPhone.

Yeah me too, It's so annoying.

Zerochief,
No you cannot access video from the Intravee. You still need a video module of some sort.

I think the BMW Ipod adapter does not display the track information.
Some information from another thread.

Good luck!

I got the dice too but returned it because I want to be able to scroll through the tracks on the navi just like the intravee allows. But what I am worried about is older bmw radio versions not being able to display text on the navi. Anyone know if this also applies to the intravee?

Intravee does not support video from iPod.

OK thanks guys, I have a video module and the classic Dice setup so I'm already good-to-go... just wondering if I could upgrade to the Intravee II and a cue up movies as easily as the iPod click wheel does. With my system, click wheel operation is a must for movies unless Intravee II can access videos in it's menu. This is my current setup and given it's flexability, I'm quite happy with it even though the Intravee is a better product: http://www.xoutpost.com/bsws-mobile-e...av-screen.html
