Dice Noise

The DICE could be picking up interference from other devices in the vehicle. You can try relocating the wire to see if the noise is diminished or if you cannot find the source of the noise - a ground loop isolator must be used.

Some BMWs are more sensitive to engine noise than others. Here is a link to the version we offer on the website:

12 Amp Power Noise Filter

Let me know if you have any further questions, or a radio harness would be an alternate solution.

Tom, I can say for certain this is not noise created from engine noise or anything of the sort.... For example engine noise or interferance will change pitch and frequency with acceleration. THe noise coming from the DICE untit does not do that. Anyone who has experienced this noice may be able to explain it much better than I can. The Noise is Digital

I believe mine makes the same noise you're refering to (this is in addition to the engine noise). Is it a clicking or static type noise? Mine is horrible, some songs seem to be worse than others.

Does the noise change when the headlights are on/off or when the iPod's backlight is on/off?
