Instead of spending $200 or more, I have decided just to do the AUX plug. I get to keep my CD changer and my IPod will be easy accessible when I get out of my vehicle. I use my IPod often. The AUX connection is $40 and is pretty simple to hookup. I will just have to control everything with my IPod. Heard the sound was great also. ONE QUESTION????? How can I mount it in the armrest or cup holder area without removing the whole center console. I really do not want to mount it in the glove compartment. Or do you have any other mounting areas?

Tom,
Are you saying that my DICE unit does not constantly detach from my system? That's funny....I didn't realize you had been driving my car.

I have had this unit for over a year. I have followed the instructions from my previous post here. It still drops the connection constantly. I have rebooted, installed the latest firmware, etc.. It still does it.

No, I'm saying your experience does not speak for all kits out there.

Again, if you need technical assitance, contact myself or DICE directly.

Sarcasm aside, there has been no response from your post back in March. We can't read minds - if you need assistance, you need to ask.

DICE can be contacted at 888.342.3999, or you can call me directly.

Well I just purchased the AUX plug and going to install it here shortly. All of the other things seems too complicated. Well there seems to be issue with them. AUX plug is pretty simple and I do not have a problem with using the IPod to navigate it. THX for your input.

Installed the AUX plug yesterday. EZ... It took me less than an hour to do the complete thing. I put it in the armrest. Yes, the wire was long enough to barely make it there. The sound is great!

Glad it worked out for you :thumbup:

Great...:thumbup:

What year X do you have? Did I miss that info??

I have an 03 X5 3.0I. I love the AUX. If I am not listening to sports radio.... I have my IPod playing. Crystal clear. I do not know why it took me so long to add this AUX plug. It is cheap and simple. My IPod can lay on my leg for ez access.

whats the best option now. I had a dice unit before and it was not a nice experience. The ipod is not detected always unless i pull the plug from the unit and reconnect

what do u recommend now - is dension a better choice?
