DICE Install in DC metro area
 
Can anyone recommend a person to install a DICE unit in the DC/VA/MD area?

I just ordered my DICE unit and I may try to install it myself, however, since I am not the brightest person when it comes to electronics, I would love to have a backup in mind.

Thanks!

If you keep the Ipod in the back, it should be a easy install.

Car Trendz in Mt. Vernon (VA) on route 1/Richmond Hwy. http://www.cartrendz.com/

One of the guys who works there has an X5 too.

Feel free to give your installer our contact information if he should have any questions.

Well, I finally got it............
 
So I finally got around to ordering the DICE Silverline unit. I am not sure whether I should intsall it myself or take it to Car Trendz

Anyone have more feedback on Car Trendz?

Thanks!!

I had my 02 X5 outfitted with a JL Audio 250.1 Amp and a JL Audio 10" sub. They did a really clean install and mounted the amp in the driver side cargo area behind the cover.

They are a bit pricey but they do clean installs.

Do you have Digital DSP? If you do you may need more parts. I have a DICE silverline sitting here to install too. The install looks VERY easy. Hummmm maybe I can help ya' out.

I have no digital dsp. I have looked on some websites and seen the install and perhaps it could be pretty straight forward. There were two versions of the DICE (the trunk and the radio interface). I was told the radio interface is much easier to install and involved less wires.

I was planning on taking care of this install this weekend. Perhaps we could do it together?? Anyone else interested?

I am in 22201 in Arlington. I would offer my place, but I live in a condo and my garage is public so it may not be the best in terms of getting set up. Were you planning on doing this install on your own? I am not terribly good at these types of jobs (just the idea of disconnecting my battery makes me think I will screw this up). And I am not sure if we need special tools.
