i-BMW-T DICE iPod Integration Kit for BMW, Trunk Interface Kit

1. Pull vehicle into service bay and access trunk area.
2. Open Trunk and access boot area.
3. Disconnect both battery terminals. These cables must be disconnected during installation to insure proper initialization of the DICE module when it is connected.
4. CD changer interface will be on left hand side on most models in trunk. Some models are different: X3 CD Changer interface is located underneath carpeting under the center console. Z4 CD Changer interface is located between seats, underneath subwoofer. Mini Cooper/Cooper S CD Changer interface is located on right hand side of vehicle (Trunk area).
5. Remove carpet and side cover to gain access to CD Changer iBus harness. If CD Changer is present, it will need to be disconnected and/or removed at client's request. Upon installation, make sure that the 3 pin connector from the vehicle does not have a brown wire in the middle. The 3 pin connector of the phone pre-wiring is identical looking to the 3 pin connector of the CD changer pre-wiring! Do not use the 3pin connector that has a brown wire in the middle, but locate the one that has the brown wire on the side! Incorrect connection will result in permanent damage to the unit!
6. Locate both the 3-pin & 6-pin connectors in the trunk area. If the CD Changer is present, disconnect the cables and set aside. If no CD Changer is present, the cables will be bundled and tucked away in the rear trunk area.
7. Connect both 3-pin and 6-pin cables to the DICE BMW Interface Cable.
8. Temporarily connect the vehicle specific cable's 8-pin molex connector and the iPod Docking Cable to the DICE module.
The correct plugs on the DICE module can be identified by matching it up with the connector or by looking for the label on the bottom of the module.
This will be a good time to test your installation. Connect your iPod and test for audio, and controls from the radio. If everything is ok, proceed to the next step. Some vehicles will have the CD Changer wiring in a protective sheath which may make it more difficult to locate.
