Works as advertised

Comment on cyrillics:
It doesn't display webdings or anything. It just put's 1 space instead of whole string. Looks like this " * * "

Hmm. It wife's car and I didn't pay attention much but she said it quit working.

Today I finally got to it followed instructions to T (you know how to get to battery in X5 )

Still same problem. iPod plays but no controls. You can swich tracks, but it doesn't do anything. Current song plays and next one plays and so on...

Any ideas on what may have happened? Could be another deffective unit?

order placed and kit shipped
cant wait to install it!

Tom one question, can I pause or stop the iPod through steering wheel or head unit? or do I have to stop it from the iPod itself? If the answer to the first question is yes then I will put the iPod in the trunk and no need to run the cable to the front!

The iPod will pause when the vehicle is shut down or switches modes (AM/FM).

That's perfect... I think i will keep in the trunk then... in ur opinion tom, what is the benefits of keeping the iPod beside me?

Strictly a convenience issue. It's a real pain to go in the trunk every time to retrieve the iPod.

I don't need to retrieve it .. currently, I keep it in the car all the time with the FM transmitter.. I dont use it at home or anywhere else..

Anyway I will try to keep it in the trunk and see what will happen... Thank you very much Tom for your quick response
