Please help: iPod integration with adequate SQ

[rocky1536]

Car: late 2002 x5 with non-dsp business CD.
Stereo: Hertz Mille components, RE XXX woofer.
Problem: only adequate audio source at this point is a CD.

I've tried both the peripheral unit and the dice silverline duo...neither come even close to the SQ of the cd player. Not only is there static noise, but the clarity is just completely unacceptable, especially for a stereo with quality components.

The peripheral iPod integration was much better than the dice. The dice unit is great on function but to be honest the SQ is pitiful...I find it absolutely amazing that more people haven't complained about this AND on top of that there are venders that are pushing this product on the forum as one of the best solutions. WOW!


Is the eom iPod cable that connects to the back of the cd changer good on the SQ side? I am more than willing to give up features for an acceptable sound. Is there any other solution out there? Does anyone know why none of the truck units have even okay sound quality?

Any help is appreciated!
