OEM ipod interface Vs Bravian interface?
 

I was wondering what the difference is between the OEM BMW ipod interface and the Bravian interface? and would the BMW dealer install the Bravian adapter?

thanks

I can't say that I have heard of the Bravian interface. Do you have a link to it with more details?

Personally, I think the OEM interface is poor at best. The DICE Silverline is a very good unit, and if you have navigation then I also recommend that you look at the Intravee-II.

i am not sure if its the Bravian, and yes i do have Navigation. The one i saw has hold up to 4 or 5 play list as long as i name it BMW1 BMW2 BMW3 etc etc.. anyone have any suggestion? and where can i get it installed at?

DICE and Intravee-II are very much a DIY install, and you are not limited by the number of playlists you are able to access.

i have worked on my wrx a few times, but i prefer not to mess with my navigation or pulling anything apart on my x5. I wonder if my dealer would install it? i was looking at the intraveeII, so i have to get both the alpine unit and the intravee unit?

Yes, you need both. They plug directly up to the CD changer connections. Nothing else to tear into unless you want to extend wiring up front.

k thanks, i have another question, i notice that on my BMW somtimes the music goes up and down why does it do this? it annoys the hell out of me. I would have it set to a certain volume i want, and all of a sudden, the volume automatically goes down, then like 15-20 seconds later it comes back up. what gives?
