Does the DICE adapter, whilst in use,allow the Factory Sat Nav voice to be heard giving directions over the music playing?

I'm leaning towards the DICE over the Icelink plus due to the IPOD interface and MFSW controls allowed to be used at the same time. Icelink allows only one or the other to be used as far as i know???

Also DICE has aux input.

Also is there enough cable with the DICE so that it can be installed in the Centre arm rest?

What do i need to order for the above system?

The icelink kits overseas only came with the Quadlock connector - which disables BMW Assist and Voice Prompts. If you have Bluetooth - this is affected as well and requires rewiring in order to retain the features. The DICE isolates the interface purely to the CD Changer wiring and does not affect these devices. Audio will automatically mute when voice prompts are given as the MFSW commands are all transferred to the iPod.

The wiring is 15 feet from end to end - more than enough to reach the glovebox or center console. Here is the kit you need:
