iPod adapters for BMW business head unit
 

Never got around to fitting one but after a trip to the ring with a drought of cd's I need one. What's the best option these days?

Mine came with a Dension Ice-Link Plus if this is any help work okay too, when you don't want to listen to the engine.

Mine came with a BMW fitted one - It doesn't work.

It's meant to act like a CD autochanger, with each of the 1-6 presets playing the first 6 playlists in the Ipod.

When I plug the ipod in, the BMW icon comes on the ipod and it starts playing, but no music is heard...

If the sound of the car wasn't so great, I would probably investigate more, but it's used for low miles only and the induction note is better than any tune!

I am using one of Mark's Parrot kits.

I've got one.....just not installed yet !

My car has a DICE unit, which works OK. I used to have a Dension unit in a previous E46 that was also OK.

However, with both of those, controlling the iPod from the head-unit is quite painful, so these days I think I would just go with an AUX-IN cable and a dashboard iPod holder.

I was expecting to have to change using the iPod so that's not too much of a problem

However I was wondering what the best option is currently, seem to be mixed reviews so far

I was using a Parrot kit but it packed in so got ripped out binned and replaced with one of these,

Seems to work fine through the AUX channel. Only downside is that only the volume on the head unit works. All other control needs to be done via the ipod.

I think I use a 'Connect2' unit, although it's been that long since it was installed, 7 years, I can't remember. Has worked perfectly until this summer when it stopped controlling the ipod from the H/U.

Needs investigating over the winter.

Anyone got/tried a Pure Highway H260DBi Dab radio + iphone connection?
