Those are the only differences I can think of.

Also, the DICE is not charging the iPod. This seems important... like something is disconnected. However, I checked the connections, and everything appears to be plugged in properly.

The iPod is not is not the problem, its the DICE module either not getting power or it is not initialized correctly. Here's a few things you can try:

1. Check the inline fuse on the Trunk Wiring harness to see if it has blown.
2. Remove the battery cables (tough to do in the X5) or simply remove the radio fuses in the glovebox fuse panel for about 3-5 minutes.
3. Check the module itself to see if it possibly has shorted out. If so, there will be a burnt smell present.

Feel free to contact me with any specific questions on the DICE kit, we're happy to assist.
