That depends. An ICElink (?) or just the 1/8" stereo jack that comes with the BMW kit (often replacing the ash tray). I've done the latter, but not the former.

I have also installed a Mini 1/8th jack in both of my cars.

On the E46...I had to get a USASpec Aux Input Kit (about $70) and plug it into the pre-wiring for a CD Changer.

On the E30...I bought a headunit with Aux Input built in.

Very happy with both.

No DICE unit for a Z4? I put one of those in and it's fantastic.

No idea if they make one for the Z4 or not, but I've seen them discussed here and there on Z4um, so they may. (?) :dunno

Give me a call tomorrow. We may be able to do it while I'm at work around 3-4pm. Plus you have to see the new interns I'm training. Blondes. OMG. Young, but OMG.

It's Chris Hansen, the guy on "Dateline NBC" who has made a cottage industry (and ratings bonanza) of busting internet perverts who show up at houses loaded with hidden cameras to meet underage kids for teh sechs. He usually asks them to sit down, and explain their purposes for being there. It's hilarious to watch the pervs squirm, then freak out once they realize they're busted.

There are probably tons of clips (not to mention parodies) on YouTube.

Yes - we definitely support the Z4 applications. This is the kit you need:

DICE iPod Integration Kit for BMW
http://www.europeanautosource.com/product_info.php?products_id=268

This will give you steering wheel control, text display and charging of your iPod and retain a stealth appearance all at the same time.
