Default 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!

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.
