Please help again...

That's because Digital DSP equipped X5s do not have a 6-pin connector.

You will be plugging the coaxial connector from the DSP into the amp, which converts this signal to the 6-pin connector that is plugged into the DICE harness.

Tom,

I have the origional Dice in my E46 M3, so I know what limitations it has and I've been trying to read as much as I can about the Silverline Pro. I also have an '08 E90 M3 with I-Drive and 99% love the Ipod interface. The questions I have are:

1. (which I believe the answer is no) With the Silverline Pro, with a MKIV Nav unit, can you do searches using & selecting Artist on the Nav screen like the new I-Drive Ipod interfaces?

2. I saw the whole CD 1-6 and all that, but while one song is playing, can you search for a certain song (via artist but without going through the album) & NOT play it until you select it?

3. If you ONLY want to use the Nav interface & not the Ipod itself, Is the ONLY way to pic a song (not having to figure out what album a certain artist has a song on) manipulate your iTunes and delete the album titles? or is it by playlists?

DICE will not work on e9x vehicles - look into the mObridge kit instead:

mObridge - iPod integration kit for e90/91/92/93 3-series
eas - 714.369.8524 | mObridge - iPod integration kit for e9x 3-series

Can you read? I was asking about the Dice Silverline Pro on a MKIV, not an E90 M3. I said I would like to find a system that works like the I-Drive iPod system, but not sure if any do...

so can the 3 questions be answered?

There is not a system with iDrive-like capabilities for your e46, sorry.

Correction - YOU don't sell a system with iDrive-like capabilities for the E46.

Are you speaking of the Intravee II? or is there another system out there I don't know about?

I just installed the Intravee II in my wife's E53 X5 & it is almost there & THAT is why I'm inquiring about the Dice Silverline Pro and if it would function better than the Intravee II. The reason I asked the 3 questions I did, is because Intravee II (well actually the Alpine unit needed) doesn't allow these things to happen.
