The interface is great. There are two options. Either the Dension 500, or the OEM Ipod interface. Both will need to be programmed by the dealer.

You can find the OEM ipod interface online for $250-$260. The dension 500 is a little more, but you have a few more options There are a few people with the dension 500 and can definitely chime in.


I have the OEM Iphone/ipod interface.

Take a look at this thread and what I did.

Enjoy.

Hi there,

Unfortunately the DICE iPod integration kit is not compatible with the E60 models because they utilize the newer fiber optic based audio system. Your best bet would be to get the OEM integration kit from BMW.

thanks guys
