Need iPod integration kit

[az3579]

Botond, the thing I loved about the kit was that a person could simply remove their radio, plug in the harness (No stringing wires to the trunk or cutting OEM wires!) and then plug in whatever combination of the Dension options they wanted - iPod, USB, etc.

Due to the holiday weekend I'm sure JB Eurotech is closed until Monday but it's worth a call over there to talk to Seth about this product. Chances are he could sell you one and ship it to you. If you do call, tell him I sent you his way. I know he gives referral credits (discounts for buyer & referring person) for service, not sure about parts.

Sweet; thanks. I'll give him a call at some point, depending on work load (weekdays).
I hope the whining issue with the Densions has been fixed. lol

I am looking for a similar unit. Let us know how it works out.

I am looking for a similar unit. Let us know how it works out.

I've done some research and have found that there doesn't appear to be a single unit that does 100% of what I want it to do, with the exception of the Dension Gateway Five. The DICE kit has many bugs and don't want to risk buying one with an issue, the PA-12 doesn't do album searching, and the iSimple has numerous features missing from it that I want.

I still have to call Seth at JB Eurotech as I'm not quite ready to buy yet. Once I do and if I buy the unit, I'll do a writeup on it.

I would look into the Pioneer Z120BT for that down and dirty, cheap (whatever works) solution.

[az3579]

Is that an aftermarket head unit? If so, Pioneer can keep it. Aftermarket radios (with the exception of the Dynavin) generally look like crap in an E46.

It's a touchscreen Double Din head unit that retails for $1,600.

The reason I've been looking at is the voice command feature. Play artist John Mayer. Bam it's there.

No other integration kit or head unit I know of can even come close to rivaling pioneer voice control. You can voice command addresses, points of interest, and yes search by album or playlist. It controls pandora through the screen, has bluetooth hd and Sirius expandability, and finally has musicsphere; which is like apple genius playlists, but if you click the "angry" musicsphere playlist for example it will build a playlist with a mixture of what it thinks is your pissed off music.

Here's a demo, sorry if it's sort of a threadjack, not sure.

post a pic of it in your car please? I would like to see it.

[az3579]

$1600? Sounds like a bargain.

$1600? Sounds like a bargain.

Hahaha.

I don't have a picture pyreguy. I may soon though

You can get it for under $1k new.

Does anyone actually have a Dension unit? I can't seem to find any reviews worth a damn on YouTube (I want to see it in action) because they all seem to be in foreign languages...
Every time I think about the DICE, I always restart the research and immediately get put off by immediately finding bad posts about it. This sucks...

I'm wanting to buy a Dension at this point.

Eli,
Do you know if JBEurotech is open tomorrow?
