I haven't had time to make the install instructions for the Radio interface kits yet - and the Dension ones are horrible. This may help a bit, the procedures will be the same for your Business Cassette

1) Remove Volume Knob. Insert small torx wrench and turn counterclockwise to release retaining hinge and swing outwards to remove the MID.




2) Remove MID.




3) Unplug harness from MID and set aside so it will not get damaged.




4) Once the MID is removed, this will expose 2 allen screws that will need to be loosened.




5) Remove screws with proper allen tool




6) Once screws are loosened, remove CD/Cassette Unit




7) Shot of R40 Quadlock connector on right, this will need to be removed by lifting up on the release latch.




8) Rear shot of R40 Quadlock connector, the plug on the bottom left is CD Audio




9) Lift on release latch and remove Quadlock connector to remove radio, don;t forget to remove the antenna cable as well.




10) Shot of dash opening without radio




11) Connect ice>Link Plus wiring harness to BMW side of radio harness, making sure it is firmly fastened. Confirm by locking down release latch.




12) Connect other side of ice>Link wiring harness to radio. Confirm by locking down release latch.




13) Insert ice>Link Audio port to bottom left hand side of R40 connector.



That's pretty much it! Connect ice>Link module and cradle and reverse above steps to reinstall.

Hope this helps!
