DICE iPod Integration Kit Radio Interface for BMW 3 Series | 5 Series

DICE iPod Integration Kit for BMW Vehicles

This Dice Integration Kit is a CD Quality "direct-connection" iPod car adapter, and is fully compatible with many newer BMW vehicles. This kit provides the ability to listen to an iPod in the car with CD Quality Sound, and allows users to change songs using the factory radio and steering wheel controls.

The DICE integration kit features text display on late model satellite compatible radios and fast browsing function to ease navigation and improve your iPod listening experience.

How the DICE Kit Works:
This kit connects your iPod directly to the factory stereo system in your vehicle through the satellite radio / auxiliary input on the back of the factory radio. Since this is a direct-connection iPod adapter, it is guaranteed to have CD Quality Sound with absolutely no static or distortion.

Users can navigate their iPod music library either through using the iPod itself, or by using the controls on the factory radio and steering wheel. The radio preset buttons 1-6 are used to navigate between Albums, Artists, and Playlists... while the track controls are used to cycle through songs within the Playlist / Album. Artist and Song Title information is displayed on the factory radio in vehicles with the ability to display text information.

This integration kit powers and charges the iPod while connected, and automatically shuts it off when you exit the vehicle. Users never have to worry about charging the iPod before using it in the car, or turning it off when they leave.

Installation
This kit is designed specifically for the stereo system in your vehicle, and connects directly to the back of the radio without any cutting or splicing wires. The adapter box itself is small, and sits in the open space behind the factory radio. A single cable runs from the adapter box directly to the docking connector on the bottom of the iPod. All of the Sound, Power, and Control are done from this single cable, resulting in the cleanest and most factory looking installation possible.

The Dice integration kit is compatible with both standard and premium audio systems. Navigation, Satellite Radio, and 6-disc "in-dash" CD Changer systems are fully compatible and will continue to work normally.
