bsw | COMING SOON: DICE SILVERLINE BMW iPod Integration Kits

[Micah D. Cranman]

Have an iPod and a BMW? Then you've probably heard about the exceptional DICE iPod integration kit, which provides a direct, CD-quality connection to your vehicle's audio system and control over your iPod through your BMW's radio and steering wheel controls.

Well, it just got better with the new, updated DICE SILVERLINE iPod integration Kit.

The DICE SILVERLINE builds upon the success of the original DICE iPod integration kit and operates in almost the same exact way, but adds some new, very exciting features.

How has the SILVERLINE been improved and updated?

- You can now browse by Artist!
- Text information now displays when browsing by playlist, artist, and album, so you know exactly where you are on your iPod
- iPod controls now locked out unless device is operated in "Simple" mode, which eliminates text display but unlocks iPod.

But forget a list! Here is each kit in operation so you can SEE the difference:

When will the DICE SILVERLINE be ready?

Very soon. The DICE SILVERLINE product still has some minor kinks being worked through that prevent its sale to the public. (We've seen other vendors selling "prototype" kits with these bugs). However, we expect the kit to be released very soon based on estimates provided by DICE Electronics, as early as January 14th. We'll be the FIRST to have these bug-free kits available for public sale.

If you'd like to be notified when the kit is bug-free and ready for sale, click here to be added to our DICE SILVERLINE waiting list.

Damn... wish I hadn't JUST bought the prior model. Is there going to be any sort of an upgrade offer? Would love Playlist titles.

How long ago did you buy you current Dice module? If it was within 30 days we'll be happy to swap it out for a Silverline module. If it is past 30 days then it will only be $99.99 to upgrade.
If you want to upgrade or if you have any other question feel free to pm/email/call me.

Paul - Thanks... just sent you an email.

DICE Silverline is now available for sale on our website alongside the DICE Original!
We will begin shipping kits Friday, January 18th.

Why offer both? Because they're both great kits! Each has its own set of advantages. Just watch the helpful comparison videos for each product on the site and take a look at the comparison chart if you're not sure which kit is right for you.

Hello
Do I understand correctly from your website that this is suitable for the E70?

Cheers

Paul:
This is probably a dumb question, but is there an AUX port included.?

I have my XM radio plugged into the cassette player (which looks ugly).

Do the cables run from the trunk to the dash? I've seen some photos of the X3 where there are cables under the cupholders.. Is that in the X3 only ?

Lastly, which adapter do I order to do the ashtray install?

I have been putting this off for a while, but you may have "noodged" me to buy mode.. :-)

Thanks !

No it won't. DICE and DICE Silverline are for iBus vehicles only (E46, E39, E39, E53, E83, E85, 1st gen BMW Mini etc.).

Richard is correct, the DICE iPod kits will only work with ibus cars and are not capable of working with the MOST bus equipped cars like the E70. We are working on an iPod solution for the MOST bus equipped cars.

Hi ED,
There is an aux port on the DICE Silverline kit, you will just need to use a 3.5mm to 3.5mm stereo headphone cable to connect to your XM radio to the DICE kit.

The cables that you will need to connect to can be many places in the X3, but typically they are located beneath the center console. We've also seen them in the rear hatch, located behind the access panel on the driver's side of the car. Here's a video of the entire install process and how to locate the cables.

We don't have a spec.dock, which is the dock insert for the ashtray, for the x3 because the design of your car's dash prohibits it.
