DICE Installation for the E46 ’00-’06 Sedan
Important! Please Read the Following Regarding
the Integration of the Dice Module into your BMW.
IF THE BELOW STEPS AND SUBSEQUENT
PROGRAMMING ARE NOT PERFORMED
EXACTLY AS OUTLINED, YOUR DICE KIT
WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY.
• If you experience the Dice Module not operating correctly upon
the initial installation, head to the trunk and unplug the 3 pin
connector for approximately 1 minute.
This will resolve 99% of all issues that may have arisen. Plug the
connector back in and reattempt the initialization process.
Before you begin the installation process, it is IMPERATIVE that you read
and understand the following information.
• The Dice module is a very complex piece of hardware that is responsible
for very complicated communications between your iPod and your BMW.
It will not just “work” once you plug it in. Much like a computer, it has to be
precisely programmed in order to communicate with existing components
in your BMW.
• Your iPod MUST be updated with the very latest firmware from Apple.
This software is available through the iTunes website. Before you attempt
to install your Dice Module, make SURE that your iPod has the latest
firmware installed.
• Also, it is IMPERATIVE that your iPod has a complete charge before you
attempt to use it for the first time with your Dice module. The Process: Disconnect your Negative Battery Terminal First!
1. Begin by removing all items from the trunk of the vehicle. Make sure that all tail lights are
in working order. If not, now is a good time to replace them. Also remove the carpet that
covers the floor of the trunk, as it will reveal several fasteners that will need removing.
2. Start by removing the taillight covers. Turn the knob on each taillight counter clock-wise
until the cover becomes loose (Figure 1).

3. Now, look to the floor of the trunk. You will see that the two plastic casings on either side
of the trunk are secured by plastic screws on the passenger side and fasteners on the
drivers’ side (Figures 2 & 3). Remove the fasteners using you panel removal tool as
