DICE vs GROM. Need to decide and looosing my mind!

[Ruckdive]

Hi Guys,

I'm posting this here because this decision is governed by the fact that I have few options because I'm driving a 2000 X5 with DSP. While it's also audio, it's more important that it's a 2000 X5.

I've spent about 5 days absolutely obsessing about whether to install the DICE Silverline Pro or the GROM AUX into my X5 with DSP.
I've been working with the amazing guys from BSW but I just can't make up my mind. Aside from the price (comes out almost the same w. adapters), here are the factors I need to consider:

- 90% of my driving is 10 mins. or less. 99% of that is ONE playlist ("Driving Music")
- I'm using a tape adapter and just want higher audio quality
- I'm used to/enjoy using the iPod to control music...having song names on the screen and controlling it with my steering wheel isn't as important to me.
- I've read a LOT of negative reviews of the Dice. I know you always hear the negative and rarely the positive on the forums, but the negative I have heard sounds like it would drive me crazy.
- I'm talking about problems like difficulty scrolling, static, clicking sounds, etc.
- The DICE sounds great when it works. The GROM sounds simple, fool proof and straight forward. No scrolling text, no steering wheel. LESS to go wrong or make problems.

- There's a good chance I'll be selling my X5 in a year as I might be moving.

I'm a college student who got the X5 with sheer good luck for a great price. $200 for either system + DSP adapter is a BIG investment for me.

Can you succinctly give me your opinion? Sway me?

Thank you for your help, I've spent at least 30 hours this past week researching this. It's a problem.

Thanks to BSW for bearing with me.
