Yes, I did it.
The Dension 500 announce itself to the BMW programming station as OEM iPod interface.
I'm not sure because BMW might not recognize the Dension as the IPOD kit. There is a switch, by the AUX port where you can switch the dension to try to fool the BMW programming to think its a CDC. Just for programming purposes i believe.[/quote]

Is that when you turned the switch to CDC? or you just didn't do anything to the dension?

Hmm. I have 1 and 2 up and the rest down.
Should it be the same for all cars? I'm using the 3B installation option. (installation documents).
