IPOD & Dension IceLink+ for BMW

As some of you may be aware I was having a Dension IceLink+ integration kit installed in my car for my IPOD...So here is the story!

Dension IceLink+ Kit arrived from Ihavetohave.it
Book appointment with Unicar (£20 deposit left) - £45 quote
Turn up for fitting...
** Takes him 1hr to request my IPOD (so to remove radio and fit a wiring loom)
** 1hr later asks if I have turned the sound off or not - No the response
** I ring supplier - have you tried turning the plug around on radio - Yes fitter says!
** Still no sound...but everything else works
** Decide it must be faulty - send back to supplier
** Not paying UniCar will do when I return with replacement

Recieved replacement unit this evening...
Removed trim and stereo from car
Plug loom in car, test IPOD = no sound!!! (ARRRGGGHHH!)
Check internet for no sound problem
Find a link which explains how to solve problem by moving two cables
Moved two cables
Retest and all WORKS

1hr to work out how glove box comes out of car and back in

Sorted 2hrs and it's working

Morole of story - Don't trust Unicar when they say they've fitted loads into the same type of car...

Rant over goes of to create playlists!

Sounds like you got lucky finding someone else who had the same problem.

Re: IPOD & Dension IceLink+ for BMW

Tricky,

While you were fiddling around in the front of your car did you spot a little black lever to the side of the steering wheel? By moving this up or down you can use this to 'signal' the direction in which you intend to travel. I figure there must be a design flaw with BMWs as their drivers often seem to struggle to find this lever.





Only havin' a larf!

Me, I'm still struggling with my itrip!
