Help installing Ice-> Plus with DSP

[raguilar]

I ordered the kit from Dension. It was on hold because I needed the DSP kit. When I got ahold of someone, they told me that the DA converter was no longer made and to get it from Radio Shack which I did. I finally got the parts from Dension. Now I have some questions about installing it...

1. The coxial cable doesn't fit with the one I got from Dension to the car. They are both the same fitting. I had a glove mounted CD changer. The one that I have seems to be male and the one that Dension sent me is male. Is there a double female that I can get?

2. There weren't any instructions on how to install the DA kit with this. I see where to hook up the left and right outputs and such. What about power. How does it get power? Is there a cable suppose to me made for that?

Thanks for the help.

Power comes from the 3 pin connector (the 3 leads and 12V, ground and i-bus)

Ron,

do you have a part number for the Radio Shack D/a converter. Some say it is discontinued too. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply.

Let me clarify on the on the power piece. I am wondering how the Analog/Digital converter gets it power. I know that the ice link gets it power from the 3 pin connector. There is a DC power on the converter that I don't plug anything into. I do notice that the L/R RCA jacks that go into the converter has more than one wire. Is that were it gets it power?

On the digital connection piece, does anyone know how I would connect them up. They both seem like female connectors. I went to Radio Shack today and they don't anything like that.

As far as the part number is concerned for the Analog/Digital A/V Signal Converter it is 15-1242. Radio Shack is selling them for $3.74. I bought 2. I will be willing to get rid of the second one when I get this working.

You can get power from the battery or the fuse panel on the pass side cargo area. The black wire with the white strip is +12V.

As far as getting the DSP adapter to work with the BMW, you need the DSP cable and RCA to 6-pin cables as well to integrate the R/S adapter to the BMW. These pieces are custom-made by Dension and myself as well.

I do offer the cables seperately, let me know if you need a set.
