All the dip switches are on the default settings... I didn't change any of them but I'll double check.

Tom,

How do i find out if i have analog dsp or digital dsp. I have a 2000 X5 4.4 Nav with 6-disc. There is no DSP button but if i go to the menu screen i do have section in there titled DSP with a full equalizer to adjust, if that helps.

MY00 is definitely Digital DSP.

Of course it does, lol. I knew I couldn't get away with only spending $160 lol. Thanks for the quick response.

The problem I have is that every few days the DICE/IPOD says DETACHED. Unfortunately I have to go to the trunk and cycle the power on teh IPOD. Sometimes after I cycle the power on the IPOD I get ATTACHED, however, I cannot get the DICE/IPOD to work. Any ideas? X5 3.0 w/nav, no DSP.

Losing text on nav screen and OBC
I have the same dreaded problem here. It was an easy install and Im using a 1st gen NANO with updated software. Even so, When I hit mode to get to the IPOD I have to hit 6 then 2 for playlist. the text rarely is correct.

I did a few times but even when I didnt, and/or I would plug it back in.....the text would vanish or not update as I change songs ....

'01 740iL

I have all of these problems/symptoms.
I have tried all your suggestions (battery cables, etc.)
I have tried all the display options 6->2/3/5/6/7. None of them works consistently.
The iPod doesn't have to be left overnight. I can't get it to Attach/Start after running into the office for a meeting.
Often the text is stuck at "TR( TR" or something to that effect. The music plays just fine and the track up and down still work. The lockup of text will occur whether the text is displayed on the dash or the Navi display.
Is there a software update on the horizon or is this unit just bad?

Are you 4:3 or 16:9 on your navigation display? Nav should be a CD6/TRACK6, the MID is CD6/TRACK4.

Also verify your DIP switches are in the UP UP UP UP positions on the module.

Exactly what happens to me on my '06 X5 with Nav and I have my screen split. This is definitely faulty.

16:9 Navi
All switches up.

I'll try 6->6 and 6->4 again tomorrow.

As with NY-4.8IS, I have my Navi in split screen mode. My MkIII is at the latest software version for the MkIII.

Hi Tom
I recently bought an X5 e53 and DICE unit. I installed it myself and everything worked fine for the last week. However today every second time I started the car it failed to recognise the IPOD/DICE units and said NO DISC.

So I decided to disconnect everything and re-initialize everything. I did this but now I get text on the MID/Dash saying CORE NOT DETECTED

Once again I have unplugged everything and will wait until overnight to re-attach everything but am I missing a step?

All switches are up and I am using a 30gb IPOD Video with 1.3 Firmware

Any help appreciated!

Hi Tom,
Is my DICE Silverline compatible with the iPOD Classic 120GB (6th Generation)? Which of the CURRENT iPOD lineup (Classic, Touch, Nano) are compatible (I have the non-DSP trunk mount in my 2005 X5). Thanks!
