The HD DICE is great if you have HD stations in your area. This is the kit you need:

DICE High Definition Radio w/ iPod Integration
http://www.europeanautosource.com/pr...roducts_id=467

The HD DICE will allow you to receive High Definition radio broadcasts with your stock BMW system. Expect CD quality from your HDFM stations and FM quality with your HDAM stations. There are no programming fees with HD Radio and the sound is simply awesome - much better than Sirius or XM.

The kit will come with everything needed including the trunk harness and HD Micro antenna. If you would like to integrate your iPod, the option iPod cable can be purchased allowing full iPod integration. The iPod can be safely stored away in the glove compartment for 100% stealth installation and accessed completely from the steering wheel controls.

The HD DICE allows for full text display on your Radio or NAV display and looks like it was integrated from factory. A listing of HD radio stations in your area can be accessed by visiting www.hdradio.com.

Let me know if you have any further questions. If HD radio is not preferred, we have the standard SILVERLINE kits as well.

We typically leave the iPod in the center armrest storage bucket. Since all control is via the steering wheel or radio - immediate access to the iPod isn't needed.

Tom,

Interested in your HD radio with Ipod cable. But i did searches on you site and can't find any discussions on the installation process for the HD radio.

I assume it is simple-- connection through the CD changer connector cables, route Ipod cable to front (or leave in trunk). Am i right, or this there any other issues to deal with?

TIA.

Chris,

Installation is exactly the same as the non-HD versions, I would recommend the Stealth Antenna Module as well for better reception and eliminating the need for the glass-mounted DICE antenna on the windshield.
