Get the DICE from EAS or BSW if you import to UK you will pay 3.5% on the total cost including shipping then 17.5% VAT on that total.

The kit can be installed by you its just plug and play from the CD changer connectors not the tuner in the boot as the UK Ice-link is. Then if you want it in the glovebox run the leads down yourself or get someone to do it for you but there are plenty of threads here showing how to do it.

Dension in the states is much different than Dension overseas, we no longer import the ice>Link does to problems such as this. When the ice>Link works, it's awesome - the DICE is just a much more stable system.

The text display bug the ice>Link has either has been ignored by Dension (overseas) techs or simply not fixed yet - a big reason the DICE is a clear winner. The major benefit on the DICE is allowing the ipod to remain in a fully unlocked state - so any iPod-specific feature can be utilized, without the need of learning a new set of commands to work the device in the vehicle.

The DICE kits allow the connection to be made at the boot, so all features like Bluetooth and Navigation voice prompts can be retained. The ice>Link uses a R40 Quadlock harness that must be rewired if these options are present.

Feel free to reply with any questions you have on the DICE, we're more than happy to assist.
