Im almost certain that they all came pre-wired for cd changer so you could get the dice that connects to the mid instead of through the antenna....the sound would not be very good that way. Have you looked really hard for the connections near the amp?

If you have DSP be careful with the 3 pins connector. Why because there are two 3-pins connectors in the same location and using the one for the phone will damage whatever you hookup to it since the ground and power are not the same. There a Youtube video on how to set up a dice media bridge in an E53 by Bav Sound Work.

I have a Grom a USB unit install in my and if you search my posting you will find out about it.

thanks for the info, since this dice unit is using the antenna and that would get rid of the radio i will not be purchasing this unit.

if anyone is selling or knows someone selling a good dice unit, let me know. THANKS!

I installed the original Dice, the Dice Silver and now have the Dice media bridge. You will lose the use of the CD player which I don't use as my iPhone connects wirelessly for music or calls and I also have Sat radio and USB connection. Installed it myself. Took some time but was not complicated and I had access to Dice Tech if I needed it. I also installed BSW speakers and sub and amp. Very happy!
