Summary The IPod Your BMW kit gives you steering wheel controls for volume and change track +/-, but no text display. It doesn't work with some combinations of premium sound and/or Nav. There are 5 playlists that use the radio buttons 1-5. Button 6 plays all. The DICE gives you steering wheel controls for volume and change track +/-, text display for title/artist, and has optional modules available for premium sound/DSP. Text display can be on the OBC display, the head unit, or on the Nav unit. The unit supports selection by artist, playlist or random mode. Instalation is a basic DIY or can be handled by any skilled audio installer. BMW's Aux input is available on 2003 and newer X5's.  Aftermarket AUX inputs may also be available from vendors such as Soundgate or Blitzsafe.  The Aux input is the most economical choice, running about $35 for the kit, plus an hour or two of labor if you aren't a DIY'er.  You can do it yourself if you can remove the radio unit. No steering wheel controls available other than volume.
