NEWB Questions ... iPod & Phone Functionality on NO NAV WITH DSP
 

I just bought my little brother a 2001 X5 4.4i. He has an M Coupe but due to its size he can't daily it all the time.

The X5 has the standard radio without Navigation but it does have DSP.

I am looking for the best way to equip the car with iPod and Phone functionality. He has an iPhone 4S and doesn't care if he has to plug it but wants to be able to speak on the phone when necessary and listen to his music of course. If Bluetooth is necessary to get the phone functionality that's fine. I'd like the multi-function buttons to control the music too.

What is the best method to get this to work? I was looking at the DICE Mediabridge. It requires me to get the additional DSP harness which brings the grand total to about $360 before shipping.

It seems a bit expensive but I don't know much about integration to the E53. I have the E70 in my sig and luckily chose all the options so I don't have to worry about an aftermarket solution.

I'd really appreciate any help. :thumbup:

Any help? I'd like to order soon, just want to make sure there isn't another product I should consider.
