We are pleased to release the new DICE iPod video-capable cradles. This is compatible with the DICE and ice>Link Plus kits - and other applications in which a video-out is needed from your iPod.

An iPod docking cradle with a sleek design to make it appear as it really is part of your car. The cradle can be mounted almost anywhere thanks to its unique ball and cup mount solution, allowing it to be angled 70° and rotated 360°. Your current DICE or ice>Link Plus docking cable plugs directly into the empty port for a clean connection through the iPod's dock connector.

Tom,

Do you have any other pics that show the iPod higher up on the cluster? I would like to have the cradle next to the climate control, rather than the window controls.

Please advise on any other type of clips that are compatible with the dice cradle.

We have a ProClip that will allow the iPod to mount to the right of the NAV screen/radio:

This is a picture of the ice>Link cradle, but the positioning is the same.

1) Any available pictures of install and how it clips into the dash?

2) Also, do you have anything that clips lower, but on the same angle? Would love to have a clip that is not too low and not too high... to the right of the climate controls (with Navigation screen).
* Like the one I attached here:

Thanks so much! :thumbsup:

Here are installation instructions on the ProClip in PDF format:

2) Also, do you have anything that clips lower, but on the same angle? Would love to have a clip that is not too low and not too high... to the right of the climate controls (with Navigation screen).

Thanks so much! :thumbsup:

Not for the 3-series applications as the climate control is sunken inwards - making a position for a clip pretty difficult. The clip posted above is our most popular version for the e46.
