iPod adaptor

Ade · 15-04-2009, 01:53 PM

I'm looking to connect my iPod to the hu, and am faced with 3 main options:

1) BMW iPod adaptor
2) DICE adaptor
3) Dension Gateway/IceLink

I've used the Dension in the past to good effect, but it does not display the track names on the radio display (Business Radio CD).

Does anyone here have the DICE adaptor, and does it work as intended and display the track names on the display?

The BMW adaptor seems overpriced compared to the Dension/DICE.

Previous experiences with any of the above are welcome.

TIA

Dension does display the track names on the business cd display. Or at least mine did.

The best option have is the Intravee II but this is only applicable to BMW OEM S(h)at Nav.

The other option is to go for an aftermarket HU with Ipod interation.

The Dension cable lets you access the iPod menus, browse by playlist, album, artist etc, shows track names, let's you skip forward and back between songs and within songs. It's good.

I have an Alpine head unit which controls the iPod. I sold my old OEM Business CD for almost £160 on 'Fleabay'!

Cool - sounds like the Dension is the one to go for (again).
