some idea of a time frame for availability?

 

somewhere deep, deep down in my heart, I want to believe this, but...then reality sets in.. Thanks for ruining the next 2 weeks of my wife (the wait, it's gonna kill me!).. LOL..

thanks for the heads up -

 

I hope so..because their site says

 

nuclrhorseradish,

welcome to the forum. i have been following the developments on icelink and it sounds like a great product. hopefully we will see an announcement of product availability in a few weeks.

Please forgive my ignorance, but why is this $400 part any better than the $77 audio input cable I bought from BMW? Also wouldn't this product require updating the software as well? As hard as it was to get BMW to install their own cable, it would seem even harder to get them to install an aftermarket cable.

 

The specs on the icelink cable and cradle for the E60 have not been released yet. The current model makes your ipod function like a CD changer. You can control track/playlists from your steering wheel and headunit as well as see text on your nav/cd display. Your ipod can also be charged with the cradle. Another neat feature they are working on is having album art displayed on the nav unit.

It will be interesting to see what they come up with for the 5 series.

Yep, I think this is better than the ipodyourbmw stuff. Looks like we'll have more options. I'm getting one as soon as it's out!
