The display of information with the OEM isn't great, the sound quality was good. To install the OEM you have to get access to a connector, remove a couple of pins and replace with pins from the wire harness on the kit. You don't have to solder, you have to follow the instructions carefully. I have not tried the Intravee II, I would probably look at that unit if your looking for a unit to display the text from the iPod.

I bought the I-simple ipod hook up- Install took me all of about 10-15 mins including running the wires. It charges the Ipod and you can control ipod from the radio and wheel. - I have the ipod Nano and actually ran the cord under and into the ash tray- it fits in there perfect and i can close the door which is nice for people peeking in the window- out of sight out of mind.. I also lined the inside of the ash tray to give it a finished look. If interested I can post pics and so forth

Intravee II is the best solution .. installation in 10 minutes maximum and u can control EVERYTHING on the screen .. I had my iPod in the rear compartment over the NAV computer and never need to use it unless I want to take it out.

I also have the DICE on the E46 and it is working fine... Installation also in 10 minutes and I put the iPod on the small drawer under the lights knob...

DICE & 2point5spec docking station is the way to go

I have the OEM interface and I've never used it

Do you know where can I get those instructions? To install the OEM Interface.
Thanks

Do you have the OEM Interface installed? I'm looking for the instructions to install it.
Thanks

There are installation instructions on the home page - items 17-20 in the STEREO section.
