Dension ipod kits

[mtc27]

Has anyone fitted or used an Dension ipod kit and if yes is it easy to fit? I have a e46 with a business stereo which i would luv to be able to plug in my ipod. Bmw do a retrofit but said they would have to fit it and wanted £300 for kit and fitting

Dension Ice link worked perfectly in my E46 (with 16.9 screen system)

[Bosh 964]

Worked fine in mine too, good sound quality and not too difficult to fit yourself on a standard CD/radio (?business?)

I ran the Ipod connector to the centre console with millimetres to spare

I never really did get the hang of searching through the artist/genres/albums successfuly though

The dension kits are pretty good and fairly easy to fit, however, have a look at the Connects 2 kits which seem to be a bit more reliable and better built (dealers point of view).

I've got a dension in my 330ci - business head unit.

to be honest i can't work it out, i.e. how to change albums etc.

What I also find frustrating is that the ipod keeps locking up when you turn the ignition off and get back into the car again. When you look at the ipod, its paused, but there is not a button on the headunit to "resume /play" again. therefore, you have to resent the ipod to get it going again.

any help would be apppreciated.

Hi Rick

I had a quick look at these but it seems all the product for an E90/E91 does is to allow the ipod to charge ie it doesn't tranfer ipod control to the head Unit like the Dension product, is that correct?

thanks

Works fine in my wife's E46 and my E85. Tested with iPod Photo, Mini, 1st gen nano and current classic.
