I have been scouring the net for quite some time now, trying to source a “Dension Ice>link Lite” kit for the iPod but unfortunately to no avail.

I have found plenty of the Ice>link Fm & Ice>link Plus kits, but no “Lites” anywhere. I have eMailed a number of online retailers in the UK who seem to carry the Dension range, but have received no replies whatsoever, which drives me nuts. Why have a “contact us here” link, if you don’t bother replying ?

So I wonder if there's anyone who could point me in the right direction as to where I might able to source this kit ???

To recap, I need a “Dension Ice>link Lite” as can be seen here……..

http://www.dension.com/icelinklite.php

It is a universal kit that will suit BMW, Ford & Saab cars, but with a little imagination & know how, will work quite successfully in a Sport.

It’s important though that it’s the “Lite” version as the Plus kits seem to have added vehicle integration features for the iPod which wouldn’t work out with my intended modified install.

Any help, ideas or assistance would be greatly received & appreciated.

Thanks in advance…………

I don't think it has been released... so nobody has inventory.

I personally don't see much added value since the whole point of the kit is to ease install... and since the plugs won't be compatible with the Land Rover system, it's not much more than a cradle with a wire. Just buy the docking cradle, or a similar cradle, and wire it yourself.

Also, wouldn't something like the H/K Drive+Play be more interesting if you want a more permanent design?

Rupert, I remember this coming up on these fora before as well - try using the "search" function on the tool bar beneath the top banner...............


Later - knew it, here's a link to the post - if you search using Dension you will find a few other threads and also try on the D3 forums too

Cheers Tim, at least I haven’t lost the plot so, I know I’ve seen it somewhere.

I have searched this & the D3 forum, for iPod, (imagine the number of hits for that !) also for Dension &Ice>link. I did get hits, but I haven’t managed to find exactly what I remember.

It’s an ongoing hunt, a real challenge, but I WILL find it eventually

Hi Rupert - I can recommend www.newministuff.com for IceLink kits - the iceLink Lite is at http://www.newministuff.com/new/shop.php?a...amp;id=227 but it looks like their one is MINI/BMW specific, worth an e-mail or phone call though  Like this site? Buy some RRSPORT goodies to show your support!

Yes Tim !!!! That’s the one……….goodness that was right under my nose all along. What’s worse is I was through that very post only a few days ago

I did PM “C” at P.A. (albeit under a different guise, D3 forum) & he gave me a website of a retailer. Unfortunately they are one of the one’s who never bothered to reply to my eMail.

Oh I’ll get it alright, it’s a mission now !!!

Cheers again for the help.

Oh Martin you’re a star !!!

Not only do you provide a really cool forum for us all, but you may just have saved my sanity as well.

It certainly looks like the one I’m after. I’ll eMail &keep my fingers crossed that they may be the ones to reply.

How have you got on with your quest Rupert? Like this site? Buy some RRSPORT goodies to show your support!

Very well Martin !!

I looked at the site you recommended on Friday evening & sent an eMail to check out a few things. I received an eMail back later that night which confirmed everything I thought.

So I ordered the Ice>link Lit kit on Saturday & received an eMail from them just an hour or so ago saying my order was dispatched.

So all looks good so far.

I found them to be very good with their eMails, which was a relief, as I had eMailed a few other online retailers in the UK who carry the Dension range but didn’t so much as get a response. Very poor indeed.

So thank you Martin for recommending “New Mini Stuff” they seem to have come through.

Well my Ice>link Lite unit arrived by mail this morning. What a battle it was to try to find this unit, but I knew it existed somewhere.

Many thanks once again to Martin for your link to the “New Mini Stuff” web site, only for you I’d still be searching.

But now I have a docking cradle for the iPod, which I’ll mount on a dashmount bracket. Then give it power to charge & hook up the audio L/R to aux input of the stereo & away we go.

All I need now is the RRS itself, but that’s scheduled for a May build, with a June delivery.
