I'm looking into getting a C43 or CD43 and the DICE iPod hookup kit and was wondering if anyone has any experience with doing this. Is there room behind the HU to put the DICE unit? Where did you run the cables?

I have a DICE kit in my E39. I'm not sure which head unit is stock, but it's a cassette, not a CD player.
The DICE unit plugs in through the CD changer input and allows you to use the iPod just like you normally would to select songs and whatnot. That's my favorite part, especially after using the Alpine I have where you have to break your music into playlists.

I'd like to bump this...
Do we know if this works? Can someone buy a CD43 for a E30, then add the Icelink for iPod use? Anyone have a write up on this, because I'm stupid when it comes to audio stuff!
Thanks in advance!!alexw

I have a cd43 and HD DICE in my e30. If Icelink is installed similar to mine then you need to replicate the cd43 cd changer connectors. It is a 3 and 6 pin connector. You can get a short cd changer cable if you wanted to keep it in the glovebox but you will still need to make something for the 3 pin connector.

I'm going to be documenting everything, once I sell my GN things will start rolling.

Maybe that should be covered somewhere else, not trying to hijack!alexw
