AlpinE90,
Any pics of your setup? I think I'm sold on the Monster for the sole fact that it hasn't fried iPods, unlike the Belkin charger. Looking at the reviews on Apple's website, it's about a 50/50 chance that you'll ruin your iPod if you use it. Just some helpful info out there for people. Thanks for the pics (if you have time). |

I was at local best buy this past weekend looking for the monster ultra low profile charger. Where I was there I saw this "kit" from Harmon Kardon,
check it out: http://www.harmankardon.com/drive-1/default.aspx It's a full featured ipod integration kit has its own LCD screen for display and its own idrive-knob-like controller that emulates ipod's clickwheel. At my local best buy they have a demo unit that's u can play with and works flawlessly as far as I could tell. (funny the card board the demo LCD/controller is mounted on is an exact interior shot of an E90 ). It's not cheap by any means. It's $200 bucks + installation (if u don't do it urself). But it's about as close to the full ipod integration kit as it comes. Anyone got any experience with this toy? BTW here's a review I found online: http://arstechnica.com/reviews/hardware/driveplay.ars |

Thanks for the visuals. I've been searching for the perfect cable. Do you think we can get this from Best Buy, Fry's or Circuit City?

So I can get the monster cable from Radio Shack? I tried asking their salesperson one time and they referred me to the dealership.

Anyone have any experience with the SIK models? Ram Din?

I just got my monster charger the the gold plated cable. The thing is, if I plug the cable into the line out plug on the charger, I get this hissing sound coming out of my speaker, and I don't get this noise if I connect the cable into the headphone jack. Is it because the cable is cheap and unshielded? Any of you get similiar problems?
thanks |

Monster + ipod - one step further.
Here's my solution to the ipod in the E90. Took AlpinE90's (thanks mate) advice and got the Monster Ultra Low Profile charger - then added a sticky pad so that the ipod can bet located at a better angle for viewing and operating. (The stick pad can be bought at any car accessory store - http://www.handstands.com/retail/aut...tickypad.shtml)
Awesome sound through the Logic 7......... |

I have been using the SIK Ram Din with the Air Click for a while now, I love it! I keep my ipod mini inside the center armrest and use the remote. Gold is the best metal for conducting electricity, I think. Danny

Hello
dension did a press release they will have a solution, called Gateway 500. Hoping this will be a good solution, but i'm afraid the cost will be high... DJD |

I just got the monster cable setup. Man does that sound so much better than a cable from the ipod headphone jack to the BMW aux input. Thanks for all the suggestions. I really want it integrated to the idrive. But guess we'll need to wait for awhile on that.
