Please snap a picture of the connector on your radio and email it to me so we can find out what configuration you have. Include your full name as reference.

Tom I would like to get the Silverline kit with radio interface. I have Nav so is there anything extra I would need to buy? Also I will probably have this installed if I can find a reputable shop in San Antonio to do it . Do the installers need to put the dice module somewhere that I can get to it or can it be stored somewhere behind the dash out of sight? I.E. will I need access to the module once installed? Ready to order as soon as I hear back.
Thanks in advance.

Tom what are you waiting for? Give me some advise! Or send me corect cable, R17! it is possible? Because it`s a mistake of EAS, not my, I order R17 1997-2000! And I`ll wait for a month, and what I get? Kit that's not compatible (cable, connectors) with my BMW?!?!?!
I`ll wait for your reply soon as possible!

Please keep in mind there is a significant time difference between Ukraine and the US. I have your email and will be responding shortly.

In a NAV environment, you must use the trunk interface kit.

You call this fast answer? I wait 24 hours or even more!
EAS made a mistake and I should wait while you there will think up something to answear? Tom I need right cable\connectors R17!
I hope EAS will pay for shiping and cost of the connectors!
write to you my address? In Ukraine? For you to send right cable?

Why then you recommended to me Kit with Radio Interface? Are you sure that this Kit will work at all in my car with NAV?

I'm working to see if I can get your package returned since it has already shipped, if not - you will need a different wiring harness.

I'll follow up to your email shortly.

Ok thanks for the reply I appriciate it.

Tom check e-mail.
I`ll wait for your reply.

Thanx

Hey Tom, I work really close to European Auto Source. Is it possible to purchase and pick up a DICE unit there or do I have to order it online and have it mailed? I rather not have to wait if I don't have to. Thanks.

Purchased the DICE Silverline, install all done on my 01 330xi, business radio, video iPod with 1.3 software, switches set per the instructions (Off,ON). Now have a few, hopefully simple, questions.
1. Should the title of songs appear in my head unit display?
2. I can't seem to be able to switch between different playlists without disconnecting the iPod, setting to the playlist I want, and then re-connecting.

I may have answered my own quesiton by checking further back in the forum. Looks like my iPod switches should both be off. Would you please confirm this?

Thanks!
