Installing Icelink Plus on (X3 non nav)
 

Does anyone have step by step instructions, or know of a link on how to install this Icelink plus. I have done searches on this site and couldnt find anything.

thanks in advance

cheers

does the article on the front page (see the Stereo section) of installation on an X3 with nav help at all? http://www.x3world.com/

Send Tom G. a PM. He is the master of all things Icelink Plus!

The X3 can be the easiest of all BMWs to install..............once the connectors are found. Here's a good thread in where we talk about connector location and there to look.

Also, I will need to know if you are prewired for Sirius, if so - the connectors are in the cargo area. If not, they are located underneath the center console bucket.

thanks to all...i will give it a try and get back to you guys if i need help.

thanks in advance

cheers

Hello , i have managed to find the bundle of wires that i need and i have plugged in the icelink and then realized that my car still has the CD option when i press mode b/c i have the busines radio. Do I have to disable the CD somehow ? since i know that the icelink will replace the single cd also .

Thank you

Were you prewired for Sirius or have standard audio? Also, are you equipped with DSP?

i am not prewired for Sirius....but not sure with DSP how can i find out

Where are you picking up your connections from - the center console or cargo area?

Im picking it up from the center console. And i have left the battery disconnected for an hour and the radio settings were still there when i turned it back on. I dont get it , i thought that would have done it.

It would lead me to believe something is wrong with the module. If you already have the ice>Link, you can order the DICE module only and use your existing wiring:

But whats weird is why the stations dont reset after leaving the battery disconnected ? I would like to see the settings be reset first to see if that works. Is there any other way to reset the computer ?

I had an earlier issue with a MY06 X3 that couldn't take 3 different icelink modules, even though the modules were brand new. We ended up going with the DICE afterwards (new at the time). The DICE does run a modified code for the MY06 Z4 (unlike the base for the ice>Link), the X3 shares the same system so this may be where your problem lies.

Even new, the ice>Link systems are no longer available - the DICE ktis have replaced them back in May.

whats the difference bewteen icelink Plus and Dice?? casue i see basicaly the same features (steering whheel cntl, radio cntrl, ID3 Text,) ?!?

We have a comparison of the kits here:

The ice>Link is no longer manfactured, the DICE has replaced the ice>Link Plus.
