picking up my 06 M tomorrow... is there an IPOD hook-up standard?

AtoB · 12-19-2007, 07:55 AM

i have a long drive to get it... an ipod would be helpful.
i know my 04 3.0 didn't... and installing one was difficult.

wrh3 · 12-19-2007, 08:15 AM

My '07 M came with an auxiliary port (phono type plug) in the under-dash piece above the ashtray. Long term, you may want to look at the Intravee II, it was not hard to install at all for my Nav equipped car- if you don't have Nav you may be happy with the Dice unit.

Dammmittt · 12-19-2007, 08:20 AM

aux in is standard...Ipod kit is an accessory...don't remember the price...

Hawkeye · 12-19-2007, 08:26 AM

Another thing I don't have. I didn't realize it was standard on the Ms...

You sure? It should be standard on all 07s...check under the right side of the climate controls...

Id assume you have the Intravee?

PMed you. I have some write ups on my website for both units, I am very happy with the Intravee (Dice used for a few days for sale if anyone is interested)

AtoB · 12-19-2007, 12:41 PM

Dice... so... is it just something i pick up at thr dealer and plug in?

wrh3 · 12-19-2007, 12:58 PM

Dice is available from www.EuropeanAutoSource.com

IntraveeII is available from www.BimmerNav.com (required Alpine KCA420i sold separately)

AtoB · 12-19-2007, 01:30 PM

thanks.
where do people put the 'box'? dash?

wrh3 · 12-19-2007, 02:13 PM

Typically it is mounted where it plugs into the CD changer wiring harness:

Hawkeye · 12-19-2007, 04:23 PM

wrh3, how much you asking for the Dice? I was looking to upgrade sometime in the near future...

$100 + shipping, save $50 on an essentially new unit used 2-3 times:

wrh3, Do you know if this DICE unit will work on non-nav Z's?

It should, here is a link to the specs for this unit at the vendor website I purchased it from:

Santa Fe Roadster · 12-19-2007, 05:06 PM

Thanks! Unforunately, it is different for nav & non-nav Z's. I'll keep shopping.

Been using the BMW installed IPod integration. Though it works OK, it can only play 5 pre-organized playlists (holding only 99 songs in each) and does not disply the song/artist.

How do you like your IntraveeII? Kinda expensive huh?

You're right, that's what I get for quickly scanning to the bottom of the page and ignoring the drop-down menu

The Intravee II /Alpine KCA420i combo can be had for about twice the price of the Dice but worth it IMO for an interface that works a LOT better......
