May, 2004 X5 with DSP and Sirius. Can the module go in the back or under the seat, I really use my center console bin? Which unit should I get and do I need to check which ipod we have? It is a couple years old.

You can leave the iPod in the back if you wish - I would prefer having it up front for convienence issues.

Here is the kit you will need:

Yes I would think you'd want the iPod up front, but that hot module, can it be tucked in the back or under a seat? TIA

Under a seat or I would prefer underneath the center console bin.

I bought the DICE. Easy to install and does not initialize. Can not read text, listen to music, change songs. But, I can fastforward a song.....

Sounds like you are in AUX mode. What iPod Generation are you using and I will need to know the firmware on the iPod:

Was your battery disconnected during the initial installation? This will cause the DICE not to be initialized properly.

The battery was connected during the installation. The battery problem occured because I was trying to figure out how to set up the text on the radio........
I have to get a jump start now because I drained my battery.

Can anybody help me with my problem...

Back to the original issue - have the battery cables been disconnected? A dead battery is not considered the same as removing the cables.
