Question on Dension / Icelink...

[simoncpw]

Hi all,

Finally got myself a new iPod (video) after my last iPod was stolen a couple of months ago.... so I'll be getting the icelink to hook it up to my X3 (BMW Busniess CD, No DSP, No NAV).

A few questions:
1) when the iPod is connected to the icelink, does the display and/or click wheel still work as normal?

2) If I find a way to mount the iPod Dock and put the iPod in it, does the icelink work with the Dock? ie: iPod -> Dock -> icelink -> head unit.

3) It might be a little to early to ask... but does anyone know if the icelink work with the new 5G iPod (video)?

Thanks in advance.

Depends on which UI you select, Ipod UI will allow full control via iPod. Dension UI locks out the iPod controls and give full control via steering wheel/radio controls.

Since you have the video iPod - you will require the docking cable. The video iPod has different dimensions than earlier generations.
